These concepts are basically the same. Inventory collection occurs when DFM probes the inventory to discover new devices, or to rediscover currently managed devices. DFM updates the inventory based on the results of inventory collection. A complete inventory collection is performed, by default, once a week (on Sunday at midnight).
