Lab Result IDs
WA requires that the External Lab Test Identifier be reported to CCRS on the Manifest CSV file. As long as you enter this Lab Result ID in GrowFlow, we'll include it in your CCRS reporting. This ID is not currently required on the printed manifest. The Lab Result ID plays a crucial role in linking the lab results to the respective cannabis products, ensuring traceability and compliance with regulatory mandates. Including this information in the Manifest CSV helps maintain accurate records for reporting to CCRS.
How to Populate the Lab Result ID
You can enter the required identifier in the Lab Result ID field within the QA Results:
Obtain the Lab Result ID from the COA provided by the lab.
Go to the specific product's QA Results section within GrowFlow.
Enter the Lab Result ID into the designated field, ensuring accuracy. This allows for seamless CCRS reporting, even for manually updated or historical results.
GrowFlow automatically populates the Lab Result ID field when a JSON link or file with the necessary identifier is uploaded, reducing manual errors.
For results not automatically populated, you can manually input or update the Lab Result ID at any time. Use the identifier provided on the lab's COA to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Sample Collection Date
WA requires the Sample Collection Date on all COAs. GrowFlow automatically sets this to the date the sample was created in your account, but you can edit it as needed. This date is then transmitted to the lab via the WCIA link to be printed on your final COAs.
