Metrc requires a Lab Test Batch (LTB) "Required Testing" selection or "LTB Option" when creating a lab sample package in specific states such as Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New York, Ohio, and Washington DC.

What is the Lab Test Batch (LTB) Required Testing?

This attribute is defined by Metrc and configured by the state administrator. This indicates what type of testing the lab should perform on the product.

The required testing is category-specific. Flourish makes a best effort to pre-check the required LTBs when creating a sample; however, the data configured within Metrc is inconsistent from state to state. The list of options is pulled directly from Metrc.

How do I create a Lab Test and Declare the Required Testing (LTB)?

  1. Create the package either within Inventory or from the Order Allocation Screen.
  2. Toggle on "Lab Sample" when creating the package
  3. If required by your state, a "Required Testing" section is available on the Package Confirmation screen. Select the required tests.
