METRC Inbound Process

Updated 1 month ago by NIr Malchy

General

The inbound workflow is the following:

  • Use Purchase Order to record what you wish to purchase from the vendor.
  • Use Transfers to record and receive the inventory into the Purchase Orders.
  • Update the Purchase Order according to what you received.

With the new ability to receive packages from transfers on Inbound Purchase Orders, you can now do the following:

  • Create a purchase order and send it to the vendor before inbounding the transfer in METRC.
  • Receive the inventory on the transfer 'against' the purchase order.
  • Update your purchase orders according to the actual quantity on the transfers.
  • Receive packages from multiple METRC transfers on one Inbound Purchase Order. 
  • Receive packages on a METRC transfer on various Inbound Purchase Orders. 

If you want to use this workflow, please reach out to us to enable this workflow for you.

  2. Verify the packages and quantities on hand.

  4. Click on ‘Receive’ to transfer packages to your license.
