Updated 1/31/2022
Starting January 3rd, 2022 California Microbusiness license holders will need to assign a location type to each of their locations or designate a Metrc Room Type for each Room in Growflow. The location type is dependent on the inventory (plants or packages) being stored in the room.
Currently, there are four Metrc location types you can select from:
Cultivation - To be used for all Plant types from Seeds to Harvest, whether assigned a plant tag or a package tag
Distribution - For all inventory packages in quarantine rooms for sales orders
Manufacturing - For inventory packages intended for use in manufacturing activities, excluding plants
Retail - For inventory packages intended for sale to end customers, excluding plants
Additionally, Metrc requires at least one location must be created/updated for each activity (location type) the license is authorized to engage in
Notes:
While this change is in effect as of January 3, 2022, licensees have until February 1, 2022 to update the location type on all existing locations used for plant batches, plants and harvests from “Default Location Type” to “Cultivation”.
For the three inventory location types (# 2 through 4 above), Metrc will not prevent you from assigning them the way you want, as long as they are not used for plants.
This article has two sections:
Section A for assigning the Metrc location types to new rooms in GrowFlow
