- Create/Edit Audit Schedule — Define parameters and select areas to include.
- Audit Reconcile — In addition to current logging, the reconcile provides expected items and quantities when the area is first selected. For quantity-tracked items, the original expected quantity is tracked alongside the final count and variance.
- Exceptions — Variances and exceptions are tracked in a separate tab.
- Mobile Transaction Updates — Ability to select a scheduled audit. A Find Item tab locates items found in the area that were not expected. Serial-tracked items can be moved or transferred; quantity-tracked items can be added to the system. Improvements to lookup lists and unit tab display.
