Enabling Sample Audits
Auditors identify potential compliance issues and ensure users’ inventory counts are accurate by counting and reviewing users’ on-hand inventory. Sample audits can be conducted by the home office with the approval of an auditor, by end users with the approval of an auditor, or by auditors themselves. Auditors use sample inventory records to capture their findings.

Conducting Sample Audits as

To conduct a sample audit, create inventories for all appropriate users:
- Select New Inventory from the Sample Inventories section of the My Samples tab.
- Complete the appropriate fields. Use the inventory_for__v lookup field to select the appropriate user.
- Select the audit__v check box to mark the inventory record as an audit record.
- Select Save.
- Select Submit from the More Actions menu on the saved record when the audit record is complete.
Once submitted, the sample_inventory__v record is locked. The inventory is logged for the audited user, the auditor is listed in the created_by__v field on the sample_inventory__v record, and the audit__v check box is selected, identifying the record as part of a sample audit.
To limit license use, sample admin users may deactivate audit users when the audit is finished.
