There are now three main ways to create inventory when manufacturing or processing:

(1) Through a Manufacturing Run, which is commonly used for extraction or machine-driven production

(2) Through the Create Work Order function in the Manufacturing Runs Module.

(3) Through a Bill of Materials which lets you create more repeatable processes for a finished good (e.g. a gummy, filled vape cart, or packaged item). To learn how to create a Bill of Materials, see Creating Bill of Materials or Creating Bill of Materials for Handling Case Quantities.

Create Inventory using BOM

  1. To create Inventory from Bill of Materials, go to Inventory Module.
  2. Click on Inventory dropdown menu at the top of the page. Then select Create Inventory From Bill of Materials.

Tip: METRC users will be prompted to choose a new UID tag number before clicking Review & Confirm.
  1. Enter in the date created and any other optional attributes. Select the Area and Location of your package, if required.
  2. Click Save and you have successfully created a new package using a Bill of Materials.

Create Case Size Quantities

Please see here how to set up a BOM to handle case quantities.

If a BOM is already set up to handle cases, follow steps 1-3 above. From there, you will:

  1. Select the name of the Bill of Materials for the case qty.

  1. Enter the number of cases to create in the "Number of New Pkgs" field, as the 'Qty per pkg (ea)' will auto-populate for you based on how the BOM was set up. In this example, we will make 10 cases.
The screenshot shows the Flourish Software "Create Inventory from Bill of Materials" form configured for a case quantity run, with "Weed We Make - Strawberry Gummies - 10pk"…
  1. If you need to create a package of a partial case, click the The image shows a small green circular button with a white plus sign (+) in the center, which is used within the Create Inventory from Bill of Materials workflow in Flourish…sign to add another package. We will add a partial case of 18 units to this example.
