9. Review the order. You can edit the prices and quantities on this page, or if any items need to be added, click Back to Edit Order. Optionally, select a Delivery Date, Sales User, and Brand and enter an Internal Note to print on your Pull Sheet for your team.

10. When you're ready, click ➕ Confirm New Order.

Note: The Orders Overview moves left to right, through the various stages. At any stage, the order can be progressed by clicking the green arrow on its tile until it reaches the In Transit stage.

Ready to Pack

When you are ready to print your labels and prepare your order for transit, you will start by transitioning your order to the Ready to Pack stage. From the Orders Overview, click on the order's tile to open the order.

1. Click Mark Order as 'Ready to Pack' to progress the order to the Packing stage.

2. Click Convert/Sublot and Pack all items to package the order, receiving the New IDs. Or, click Convert on any individual line items you have packed, if the entire order is not ready to be progressed to labeling.

Note: In the Product column, items assigned strain-specific Products are in blue, and items assigned Product Templates are in white.

Additional Features when Packing

Skip Sub-lotting and Keep the Same ID

WA and Standalone states: With this box checked, any items that are not converting from one traceability type to another and are also assigned as the same product as the source inventory will be packaged into the same ID.

Metrc States: By default, Metrc will keep the same tag applied when packaging the full remaining quantity of a package on order. See Give Line-Items a New ID for available sub-lotting options when packaging orders.

Ready to Label

Now that you've assigned the new IDs and packed the order, you're ready to label!

1. Click the top printer icon to print all labels for the order, or select the printer icon per line item to print each item's labels individually.

2. Once you've completed labeling, click Mark Sales Order as 'Labeled' to progress the order to Need to Manifest.

Need to Manifest

The order will remain in the Need to Manifest column until you are ready to generate a manifest.

1. Click Select Delivery Options (Manifest)

2. Once you've selected your delivery options, click Confirm to generate the GrowFlow manifest.

Scheduled for Transit

Metrc States! This column is called Need to Sync to Metrc. See Register Outbound Transfers in Metrc for more information.

1. Once your manifest is generated, the order is progressed to Scheduled for Transit and you are redirected to the Manifest tab where you can click Print Manifest to prepare for your driver.

2. As your final step, click the Click to Transfer Order button to send your items out for delivery.

In Transit

Once the order is In Transit, you will have the option to clear the order by clicking Set Received. If your client is a fellow user of GrowFlow, the order will be received by the client. Once they accept the order, it will clear automatically and can be found via Sales History.

There are many tools offered throughout the order stages to make this process simple, easy, and quick!
