Understanding the new CCRS adjustment rule and solutions in GrowFlow Wholesale.
The implementation of the new CCRS adjustment rule has introduced restrictions on how inventory adjustments are reported to CCRS. This guide provides an overview of these rules, potential errors, and available solutions.
Overview of the CCRS Rules
Under the current CCRS package size regulations:
Adjustments to a package's quantity cannot increase its weight or quantity beyond its starting (original) amount.
Partial adjustments that stay within the starting quantity are permitted.
Combining multiple batches into a single line item is possible, but the resulting package total must not exceed the original starting quantities.
These rules help maintain accurate inventory records and ensure regulatory compliance.
Common Errors and Their Causes
When adjustments exceed the allowed limit, users may encounter errors such as:
"QuantityOnHand is greater than InitialQuantity"
This error indicates that a package's adjusted quantity surpasses its original starting quantity, which is no longer allowed by CCRS.
Available Solutions in GrowFlow
To address CCRS limitations and ensure compliance, consider the following solutions:
Utilizing the Convert Tool: - If adjustments needed exceed the starting quantity, use the Convert tool to repackage inventory under a new package ID. This allows additional weight to be added to the package and reports the new 'starting quantity' to CCRS under the new tag.
Sub-lotting Packages: - Create smaller, compliant sub-lots from an existing package to meet specific order requirements while adhering to CCRS rules.
Timing Considerations for Convert Tool and Sub-lotting
When using the Convert Tool or Sub-lotting, be aware of potential delays in CCRS manifest generation. These actions trigger updates to inventory, product, and area data that CCRS must fully process before manifests can be created. Ensure to allow sufficient time for these updates to be completed before proceeding with manifest creation.
