Usable Weight Validation

Why

Flourish Software now helps you create End Product packages with the correct usable weight. During package creation, the system checks the usable weight reported to BioTrack to catch errors early and prevent compliance issues.

How

When creating packages of End Products in BioTrack Florida, Flourish now checks that the usable weight reported to BioTrack matches the unit weight of your output item. If there’s more than a 5% difference, you’ll see a warning before creation. You can adjust the weights or override to proceed, helping you catch errors early and ensure packages reflect the correct usable weight for compliance.

This validation applies across all package creation workflows:

  • Package to Package
  • Manufacturing Run
  • Bill of Materials (BOM)
  • Work Order
Examples of Validation messages

The screenshot shows the Flourish Software package creation screen displaying a usable weight validation warning. An orange alert banner reads "Warning!
