- Tap the red Audit Request notification
- Tap SELECT on each Item at a time to start the Audit for that Item

Items Not Barcoded or Quantity Items
- Tap the confirm selection if you are able to locate the Item

Barcoded Items

Once all Items have been addressed, tap FINISH to send the report back to the Admin.

If you cannot locate any Items, you will receive a message that you have unconfirmed Items in the audit. Tap SUBMIT if ready to complete the Audit, or GO BACK if you wish to still locate those Items.
That’s it! You’re done with the Audit.
