How to create an audit

  1. Navigate to manage → create audit.
             
  2. Select a date from the drop down calendar menu. The date selected should be the last day of your audit period.

    For example, if you perform a stocktake on a Monday, on a weekly basis, your audit period would run from Tuesday to Monday and the date selected
    would correspond to that Monday.
    (Example: If you perform your stocktake on weekly basis, every Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning, your audit period will run from Wednesday start of business to the following week Tuesday close of business. The audit date selected will be the corresponding date for Tuesday (i.e. the last day of the audit period. So, if my audit date is the 25th of May, this will refer to an audit period starting on Wednesday, the 19th of May, adn ending on Tuesday, the 25th of May)
