Mobile App - Create and Receive Inbound Transfers
Mobile Inbound Transfers enable receiving-dock work: scan, count, and place inventory. For non-compliance facilities. Create transfers, add items, then receive with barcode scanning or manual entry into designated areas.
Create and Receive Inbound Transfers on the Flourish Mobile App
Purpose: This guide is for receiving teams using the Flourish Android app to work inbound transfers at the dock — creating transfers, scanning packages, and receiving inventory into the facility.
Availability by compliance system:
- Non-compliance facilities: create transfers and receive them on mobile.
- BioTrack 2.0 facilities: receive transfers synced from BioTrack on mobile — arrival, check-in, and finalize (creating transfers stays on the web).
- BioTrack 1.0 and Metrc facilities: cannabis transfers are still received through the web app (Metrc transfers are accepted in Metrc and sync into Flourish automatically).
Before you start:
- You'll need mobile access to the Inbound module with the Transfers permission enabled on your user role.
- Optional but recommended: set a Default Area Upon Receiving in your facility configuration on the web app.
Find your transfers:
- From the app home screen, tap Inbound, then open the Transfers tab.
- The list shows your Open transfers with the manifest number, shipper and license, a status pill (such as Pending Receipt, Partially Received, or Received), the package count, and the transfer date.
- Use the Search manifest or shipper… bar to find a specific transfer, or tap Show all to include closed transfers (tap Open only to switch back).
Non-Compliance Facilities: Create and Receive
Create a transfer:
- On the Transfers tab, tap Create Transfer.
- Tap Select a shipper and choose the vendor sending you the inventory.
- Check the Manifest Number — the app fills in a unique number automatically, but you can type your own.
- Tap Proceed, then add lines: tap Add item, pick the item (the app shows whether it's Cannabis · package-level tracking or Non-cannabis · tracked by lot), enter the Qty to Receive and optional Lot Number, and tap Add item. For cannabis you can leave Package ID blank — one is generated on receive.
Receive a transfer:
- Open the transfer and tap Receive (the button shows how many lines are pending).
- Select the destination Area and Location — the whole receipt goes to one destination.
- Receive lines by scanning (Scan matches the barcode to a pending line), by editing a line's Lot and Qty to receive and tapping its Receive button (a lower quantity is a partial receive), or all at once with Receive all.
- The Receipt summary tracks Received vs Pending. Your progress saves if you leave — the transfer shows Partially Received until every line is in. Tap Done when nothing is pending.
BioTrack 2.0 Facilities: Arrival, Check-In, and Finalize
Transfers from BioTrack appear on the Transfers tab automatically. Receiving happens in three steps:
Step 1 — Mark the arrival:
- Open the transfer. If the driver hasn't been marked as arrived, an amber banner shows "Not yet marked as arrived in BioTrack."
- When the delivery reaches your dock, tap Mark as Arrived and confirm — this records the arrival in Flourish and BioTrack. (Tapping Check In first will prompt the arrival for you.)
Step 2 — Check in the packages:
- Tap Check In (the button shows the pending count).
- Select the destination Area and Location at the top.
- Work through the manifest: tap Scan and scan each package's barcode, tap Photo to capture a package ID the scanner can't read, or tap a line to enter it manually.
- Confirm the quantity for each package. Anything under the shipped quantity is rejected and returned to the sender when the receipt is finalized — zero rejects the entire package. Each line shows its state: Checked In, Partial, Reject, or Not checked in.
- The header tracks "Checked in X of Y." Your progress saves as you go — you can pause and resume, even from another device.
- When you've worked every package, tap Complete Check-In.
Step 3 — Finalize the receipt:
- Review the Receive summary — it totals full receives, partials, and rejects, and lists each package's outcome. Packages never checked in will be rejected in full.
- Tap Finalize Receipt and confirm. This submits everything to BioTrack in one step: received packages go into your inventory, rejected quantities are returned to the sender. This can't be undone.
Notes for BioTrack receiving:
- Transfers assigned to a purchase order can be received on mobile.
- If a package's compliance category doesn't match an item automatically, the app asks you to Choose an item to receive it as.
- If the transfer shows as pending or out of sync with BioTrack, finalizing is blocked until the sync completes.
Troubleshooting:
- "No pending package matches the scanned code" — the barcode doesn't match an unreceived line on this transfer.
- "No matching package ID found in the photo" — retake the photo, scan instead, or tap the line to enter the ID manually.
- "Select a receiving area first" — pick the Area at the top before receiving lines.
- "Package already exists" (non-compliance) — a package ID on the transfer already exists in your facility; tap Replace to overwrite or CANCEL to review.
- "Cannot mark as arrived — this transfer has no BioTrack stop number" — refresh the transfer, or check it in the web app.
