Facility Area and Location Management

Areas and Locations

Each Flourish facility must have at least one area designated for the storage or management of inventory and plants. Areas represent high-level spaces within your facility, such as rooms or operational zones.

You can create locations under each area to track inventory with greater precision. Locations allow you to organize products and plants within a specific room or space for more accurate internal tracking.

Flourish submits the Area to the state system (BioTrack or METRC) to support compliance reporting and regulatory tracking.

The Area Type defines how the area functions for state reporting. For cultivation, the Area Type identifies the plant stage, such as propagation, vegetative, or flowering.

Required Area Types

These can be used for reporting, but they all function the same as inventory.

Locations and METRC Sub-Locations

In METRC facilities, Locations sync to METRC as SubLocations. When you create or update a Location in Flourish, the system syncs it to METRC automatically. When a plant's Location changes, Flourish includes the SubLocation in all relevant METRC payloads — moves, phase changes, harvests, and destructions.

If a SubLocation exists in METRC but not yet in Flourish, it is imported automatically the first time a plant referencing that SubLocation is synced. Locations that are not referenced by any plant in METRC will not appear in Flourish automatically. You can always create Locations manually in Flourish under any Area.

Locate Plants

Use the Locate Plants action to assign one or more plants to a specific Location within their current Area. This is available in METRC facilities only.

When you locate a plant, Flourish updates the plant's current Location and includes the corresponding METRC SubLocation in all subsequent METRC payloads for that plant.

All plants selected for a single Locate action must be in the same Area. The Location dropdown shows only Locations belonging to that Area.

Assign Plants to a Location

1. Navigate to Grow.
2. Select All Plants.
3. Select the plants you want to assign. All selected plants must be in the same Area.
4. Click Locate in the action menu.
5. Select a Location from the dropdown.
6. Click Locate.

Flourish updates each plant's Location and syncs the change to METRC. The Location column in the plant grid reflects the updated assignment.
