The change in METRC California

Starting 6/1/2020, METRC updated its API to require a source package or source plant when creating plant batches in cloning.

Since ‘Mother’ or ‘Veg’ groups are considered immature and their plants are not tagged individually, creating clones from Mother or Veg groups requires you to select a source plant batch and an available package tag. The process creates a package of clones from the immature batch (without decrementing the count of active plants in the batch), then consumes the package when creating the clones.

If you don't already have an in-sync item of category Immature Plants or Clone - Cutting for the relevant strain, Flourish Software creates the item for you in the process. Scroll down to the end of this article to find instructions on creating an item in the category Immature Plants or Clone - Cutting.
If the Flourish user responsible for creating plants does not have permission in METRC to create/update items, and there is not already a valid item for Flourish to use for the clone package, METRC will return an error in this step.
