METRC Inbound Process
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.
