Written By Jesse McIntire

Last updated 19 days ago

1. Open the storage location audit tools

  • Audits are storage-location focused and are used to check the quantities in a specific location.

  • From the home screen, navigate to the storage location you want to audit.

  • Open the audit tab to access audit management options. 

2. Configure audit frequency or pause auditing

  • Use Audit Frequency to set how often audits should be prompted.

  • Example: set it to every 7 days to automatically prompt audits on that schedule.

  • If needed, enable Pause Auditing to temporarily stop audits for that storage location.

3. Create a new audit as an admin

  • As an admin, select Create Audit Now and confirm.

  • This immediately initiates a new audit for the storage location.

  • After creation, the audit can either be completed by the admin or assigned to another user. 

4. Assign the audit to an inventory mode user

  • If you have access to inventory mode, choose Assign Auditor.

  • Select Assign to Inventory Mode User or pick a specific user.

  • The audit is then queued for that user to complete in inventory mode.

5. Start and complete the audit yourself

  • If the admin is completing the audit, select Start Now.

  • Review the items in the storage location and compare them to the expected quantities.

  • Update quantities as needed and confirm each item as you go.

  • If something is present that was not expected, use Add Items Manually.

  • Add any relevant context in the Notes field.

  • When finished, press Confirm to complete the audit. 

6. Review the audit results and history

  • After confirmation, a report is shown immediately.

  • The report highlights discrepancies such as:

    • More than expected

    • Less than expected

  • The storage location page also shows:

    • The last completed audit

    • The next scheduled audit prompt

    • A list of past audits

7. Manage an existing audit

  • Existing audits can be updated if needed.

  • You can reschedule an audit for a different day.

  • You can also cancel an audit entirely if it should not be completed. 

8. Complete an assigned audit in Inventory Mode

  • Log in as the Inventory Mode user.

  • Open the list of audits and find the one assigned to you.

  • Start the audit and review the item list.

  • Adjust quantities as needed, just like an admin would.

  • Before confirming, you can also update item details such as an expiration date.

  • Add notes or manually add an unexpected item if necessary.

  • Press Confirm to finish the audit. 

9. View the completed audit details

  • After completion, the Inventory Mode user sees the full audit details.

  • This is the same audit information available to the admin.

  • Use this view to verify what was counted and review the final audit outcome.
