Add Products to an Audit

Product inventory quantities are not displayed until you click Start Audit.

When you start an Audit, Simple RFID retrieves the latest inventory quantities from the selected Source (such as Shopify or Apparel Magic). These quantities become the baseline for comparing your RFID scan results during the Audit.

Important: Once you click Start Audit, the Audit is locked. You will no longer be able to add or remove products from the Audit.

Full Audit

If you selected Full, you do not need to manually add products.

When you click Start Audit, all products from the selected Source and Location are automatically loaded into the Audit along with their current inventory quantities.

Partial Audit

If you selected Partial, the Audit includes an Add Items button.

Click Add Items to search for and select the specific products you want to include in the Audit before starting it. Once you have added all desired products, click Start Audit to load their current inventory quantities and begin the Audit.

Scanning Items During an Audit

Once all desired products have been added to the Audit, click Start Audit to begin.

The Audit grid displays the following information for each product:

  • Expected – Displays the current On Hand inventory quantity retrieved from the selected source (such as Shopify or Apparel Magic). This serves as the baseline for comparison during the Audit.
  • Scanned – Initially displays 0 for every product because no RFID tags have been scanned. As RFID tags are scanned and uploaded, this value updates to reflect the total number of tags detected for each product during the current Audit.
  • Diff – Displays the difference between the Expected and Scanned quantities, allowing you to quickly identify inventory discrepancies.
