Here's how to use the Lot tool to create Flower Lots and Other Material Lots from their bulk harvest materials.
If you are connected to Metrc, see Metrc: Lotting Bulk Material for steps on using the lot tool.
There are two areas in GrowFlow to use the lotting tool:
From the Grow Overview, hover your cursor on a strain in the Bulk Inv, column and click the green arrow:
Or, from the Inventory Overview, click the blue Lot button at the top of the page:
These will both open the Lotting window, where lotting bulk material into lots based on quantity limits applicable to your region takes place.
Use Multi Lot Mode (next section) to create many packages from one bulk item
Use Combine Lot Mode to combine multiple bulk or previously lotted items of the same strain into a single lot
Multi Lot Mode
In this example, we are using Multi Lot Mode to create Flower Lots from bulk Flower. Most of the time you will be lotting your bulk material into multiple lots.
1. Select Multi Lot Mode (this option is selected by default)
2. Select whether you are making Flower Lots or Other Material Lots (we are making Flower Lots in this example)
3. (Optional) Select a room to place new lots into (Bulk Inventory room will be used by default if a preferred room is not selected)
4. Select a product template if you want to use a particular product name
For example, using a template such as "A Buds" or "Trim for pre-rolls", etc., to assign a specific product name for your new lots.
Create a new Product Template by clicking Add New Product
5. Use the search bar or the Filters to locate the bulk material you are lotting
Note: The Lotting window shows both Flower and Other Material traceability types available for lotting, no matter what you are making lots from. We do this in case you make a mistake and made something into the wrong traceability type. Be careful when choosing the IDs you are converting from and double-check your work!
Next, in the table of available Bulk Materials to lot, we'll make entries to determine the number of lots and their weight per lot:
6. Set Number of Lots and Weight Per Lot:
Clicking Set Max will do the math for you and enter as many 5 pound lots as possible from the available grams per Bulk Material line item
Clicking Set Eq. will evenly distribute the available grams per Bulk Material line item and enter the number of lots that can possibly be created with equal weight
Tip! Click Set Max but reduce the number of lots to what you are actually creating. GrowFlow will block you from exceeding the maximum lot size when you confirm the creation of lots.
7. Confirm the number of lots you are creating
8. Click Create to create your lots! The Lotting window will remain open so you can continue with additional lotting if needed.
Combine Lot Mode
Use Combine Lot Mode to group smaller quantities of the same strain into one lot.
1. Select Combine Lot Mode
2. Select the type of lot to create
3. (Optional) Select a room to place new lots into (Bulk Inventory room will be used by default if a preferred room is not selected)
4. Select a product template if you want to use a particular product name
For example, using a template such as "A Buds" or "Trim for pre-rolls", etc., to assign a specific product name for your new lots.
Create a new Product Template by clicking Add New Product
5. Locate and select the materials you're combining
Tip! You can pre-select the items you want to combine on the Inventory page and then click the Lot button to see only those items in the Lotting window.
6. Double-check your work to review what you're combining
7. Finish by clicking Create! Your new combined lot will be available on the Inventory page.
