How do I complete a full inventory count?

Learn how to create a full inventory count, scan items, resolve discrepancies, finalize the count, and reopen it if more review is needed.

A full inventory count helps you compare the items physically in your store against the inventory records in Pavilion.

Use a full count when you want to scan or search all items in a store, identify missing or extra items, correct item locations, and finalize the count results.
