Compliance Adjustment	Do not adjust Metrc or Biotrack: If selected, will only adjust BLAZE inventory. Adjust by Difference: Adjusts the Metrc package based on the "difference" between the current quantity to the actual quantity. Intended for use if your current inventory does NOT equal your Metrc Inventory (e.g., due to unsubmitted transactions). Adjust by Actual Inventory: Adjusts both BLAZE and your compliance system by the actual value entered.
Compliance Reason	Select a compliance reason for the adjustment from the dropdown.
Notes	Enter notes for internal record purposes.

You can opt to manually add specific batches to your cycle count from the modal options.

NOTE: If the Force Scan setting is enabled, you will still be forced to scan the product(s) after manually adding the batches to the list.

Category	Filter by All or an individual category.
Brand	Filter by All or an individual brand.
All in Safe	Toggle Yes/No.
Not Audited in X days	Input a number to pull batches that haven't been audited within that specific timeframe.

Begin your count. A visual reference will populate as batches are added and the quantity is scanned or manually entered into the system.
