Create Outbound METRC Transfers
Outbound shipments are used to record movement of wholesale inventory out of a facility to another destination. These orders may be referred to as a Sales Order, Distribution Order, Transfer Order, etc. In METRC states, regulations require cannabis businesses run all cannabis license-to-license shipments through the METRC system. Outbound shipments are reflected as Outbound Transfers in METRC.
