API Key

Your API Key is what connects your GrowFlow account to Metrc. As you perform actions in GrowFlow, it will update Metrc through API calls. If your API key is regenerated in Metrc it will break the connection to GrowFlow and you will need to re-enter your API key under Account Settings.

See Metrc: How to Find and Use Your API Key

Sync

You will use the Sync tool frequently to align GF and Metrc data.

See: Metrc: How to Sync

Sync new tags to GrowFlow

After receiving additional tags from Metrc, import them using the Sync Tool on the Admin menu in GrowFlow, or directly from the Sync button on the Inventory page.

Notes

Packages column

Newly accepted clones will be here until they are unpacked into a plant batch.

See: Metrc: Grow Stages and Moves

Clones, seeds

Clone batches now have a programmatic batch name rather than an ID number.

See: Wholesale: Create Clones and Seeds

Move plants to veg

Metrc tags are now applied at this stage. The plants move from named batches to individually tagged plants.

See: Metrc: How to Tag Plants in GrowFlow

Flower stage

No change

Harvesting Flowering Plants

There are now two options when entering the harvest wet weight. You can either enter a single harvest weight, or enter the weight for individual plants. Use the workflow that matches your state regulations.

See: Metrc: Harvest Workflow with Entry of Single Harvest Weight
and Metrc: Harvest Workflow with Entry of Individual Plant Weights

Undo Harvest

You can no longer undo a harvest in GrowFlow if you made a mistake. Instead, you have two choices: either go into your Metrc account and discontinue the harvest or if it's been more than a couple of days you'll need to contact Metrc to request the correction you need.

The discontinue option only works if you haven't yet created waste or packages.

See: Metrc: Undo the Harvest of Plants

Pre Migration Harvests

If any harvests were open at the time you migrated, the wet weight will now be in your inventory as Wet Whole Plant.

See: Metrc: How to Cure from a Fresh Cannabis Package

Cure/Create Packages

You will now use Metrc package tags while you’re creating packages from your harvest.

See: Wholesale: Package Bulk Material into Pre-Packaged Inventory

Lot inventory

The Lot Inventory column will no longer be displayed on the Grow Overview.

BioTrack had two traceability types for bulk flower, Flower and Flower Lot. Metrc only has one type, Flower & Buds (Bulk)
See: NY Metrc: Guide to Traceability Types

Daily plant waste

Metrc requires you to upload a spreadsheet of this waste to the Plants Waste page in Metrc. Use the export tool for Daily Waste from the "Changes" tab in GrowFlow's Dashboard reports menu.

See: Metrc: Reporting Daily Plant Waste

Plant batch waste

Metrc requires you to upload a spreadsheet of this waste to the Immature Plants Waste page in Metrc. Use the export tool for Plant Batch Waste from the "Changes" tab in GrowFlow's Dashboard reports menu

See: Metrc: Destroying Plant Batches

Pack order

When you pack an order you are now using Metrc tags when any of the packages need to be converted or sublotted.

See: Wholesale: How to Create a Sales Order

A new tag will not be used if the quantity being packed is the full quantity left in the ID (To change this setting see: Metrc: Give Line-Items a New ID)

Need to Sync outbound orders to Metrc

To put orders into transit, you will need to go into Metrc, register the manifest "Template" we've sent to your Metrc account, then come back to GrowFlow and click “Register Complete”.

See: Metrc: Register Outbound Transfers in Metrc

Note: Until December 17, you need to create an "External" transfer in Metrc if the receiving party doesn't have a Metrc account yet.

Editing an order after registering the manifest in Metrc

Void the order in Metrc, undo transfer in GF, edit the transfer details in GrowFlow, and re-process delivery in GrowFlow to re-register in Metrc

See: Metrc: Voiding Manifests

Accept inbound order

Accept in Metrc using the "Receive" button on the incoming transfers page, then sync in GrowFlow.

See: Metrc: How to Receive an Inbound Transfer

Reject inbound items

You can only fully reject a line item in Metrc. No partial rejections are allowed by Metrc.

See: Metrc: Processing Rejections

Inventory - Tags

To check your available tags, click Tags on the Inventory page. It’s important to do this often to prevent running out of tags.

See: Wholesale: Inventory Overview

Waste

Entering waste is a 2 part process - use “Dispose Selected” to finish destroying inventory in Metrc. Having two steps allows you to Undo the destruction before you dispose of it.

See: Wholesale: Destroy Inventory

Finish Tags

Once a package has depleted quantity, it must be finished in Metrc. There are a few automated workflows in GrowFlow which do this for you, but it is important to confirm all depleted tags are finished in Metrc regularly.

See: Metrc: Finish & Unfinish Packages

Inventory type

The “Type” names are changing slightly to match the terms used by Metrc but they are functionally the same.

See: NY Metrc: Guide to Traceability Types

Legacy ID

Your old GF ID number will show in yellow below the Metrc ID to allow you to cross-check that you got the right Metrc tags on packages. Anything you make after your transition will just have a METRC ID number.

See: Metrc: How to Tag Physical Plants and Inventory After Migration

Package

Package, Sublot, and Lot now use tags when performed.

Processing Jobs (For Processors)

When beginning a manufacturing process, record the processing job in GrowFlow to report to Metrc.
