Blind Counts is a quick method of physical inventory where an associate counts the items in a location and enters the total without access to the number of items the Edge has in that location.
If the associate’s count matches the quantity in the Edge, the count is successful and closed. If the count does not match after a certain number of attempts (default set as 3 but can be adjusted in System Options), a physical inventory is automatically started for that location.
NOTE: The automatic creation of a Physical Inventory on a failed blind count can be disabled via the System Option “Force Physical Inventory on Blind Count Fail.”
