Use the Lot tool to easily lot bulk harvest materials into designated package quantities with their own Metrc tags in preparation for QA testing.

There are two areas in GrowFlow to locate the Lot tool:


Option 1: From the Grow Overview, hover your cursor on a strain in the Bulk Inventory column and click the green arrow:

Option 2: From the Inventory Overview, click Lot

Both options will open the Lotting window, where lotting bulk material into bulk packages based on quantity limits applicable to QA testing in your region takes place.

  • Use Multi Lot Mode in Part One below to create many packages from one bulk package

  • Use Combine Lot Mode in Part Two of this article here to combine multiple packages of the same strain into a single package

Part One: Multi Lot Mode

1. The default setting in the Lotting tool is Multi Lot Mode, which will lot your bulk material into multiple packages of a given or max weight.

2. Select the bulk inventory type to create

Note: Material types shown depend on your jurisdiction.

3. Optionally, select a room

  • Lotted inventory will head into the Bulk Inventory room by default if a preferred room is not selected

4. Select a product template to use a particular template
