Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for determining whether a transaction may be finalized with a user that exits a facility. To do so, the inventory management system may first determine whether the inventory management is to resolve any events prior to finalizing the transaction. In some instances, the inventory management system may refrain from finalizing a transaction with a user that exits the facility if the user is associated with a low-confidence result/event, if the user remains a candidate user for an unresolved event, or if a global-blocking event is in place at the time of the user's exit. In some instances, meanwhile, the transaction with a user may be finalized upon the user's exit of the facility if the user is associated with high-confidence events/results, is not associated with any low-confidence events/results, is not a candidate user for an unresolved event, and if no global-blocking event is in place at the time of exit.
