When is the Expected Assets list populated in the asset audit form?

The Expected Assets list in the asset audit form is populated when the scanning completes. This is because the scanning process is designed to identify and validate the assets that are currently in use against the expected inventory. During the scanning phase, the system collects data on existing assets and reconciles this data against the anticipated or expected assets specified for the audit. Only after the scanning has completed can the audit form accurately reflect the assets that should be present.

This method ensures that the asset data is up-to-date and that the audit can accurately assess discrepancies between what is expected versus what is actually found. As a result, relying on a completed scan allows for a comprehensive and accurate audit process.
