Inventory hot lists are lists of items or preps that you want to count for an inventory. These are best used for problem items or as watch lists. When a hot list is used as an inventory count, all other items NOT counted will have inventory counts calculated automatically
TIP: If making an inventory hot list, you can also use the hot list as a custom filter for usage summary reports. This is a great tool for watching trouble or high cost items.

- Click "Count Inventory" (main menu toolbar).
