Inherit Package Attributes

Flourish can track package attributes including use by date, production date, moisture percentage, serving size, extraction, cannabinoids, and reference fields. Use this configuration to enable the resulting packages to automatically inherit these attributes when creating new inventory.

Flourish tracks additional essential information about your packages, called Package Attributes. Some states require these attributes when you create, receive or transfer packages.

When you create a new package, you can have it automatically inherit the attributes from the source package.

Configure the Inherited Package Attributes

To configure the attributes you want to inherit, please follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Select Configuration.
  3. Select the facility you need to configure.
  4. Locate Inventory.
  5. Toggle 'On' the attributes you want to inherit.
  6. Scroll up and click

Automatically Calculated Attribute

Additionally, you can have Flourish automatically calculate the "Use By Date" for new packages. This will help ensure that new packages get the expected "Use by Date" information. Learn more here.

Inheriting the "Use By Date" attribute from the source packages supersedes the automatic Use by date calculation.

How Package Attribute Inheritance Works

When Package Attribute Inheritance is enabled, Flourish automatically carries selected attribute values from source packages into newly created packages.

How inheritance works depends on how many source packages are used and whether their attribute values match.

Single input package

  • When you create a new package from a single source package, all enabled attributes inherit from the source package into the new package.
  • This applies across Manufacturing, Work Orders, and Inventory flows.

Multiple input packages

  • When you create a new package using multiple source packages, Flourish compares the attribute values across all inputs.
  • If an attribute value is the same on all input packages, that attribute inherits into the new package • If an attribute value differs between input packages, that attribute does not inherit
For example:
* If all input packages share the same Lot Number, the new package inherits that Lot Number
* If input packages have different Lot Numbers, the new package does not inherit a Lot Number

Package Attribute Inheritance Works Per Module

Manufacturing
  • When creating output packages from Manufacturing Runs, enabled attributes follow the inheritance rules described above.
  • If inheritance is enabled and a common value exists across all input packages, Flourish displays that value automatically in the output package.
  • If no common value exists, the field remains blank and must be entered manually if required.
Work Orders
  • Work Orders include an additional field called Lot Number to Create.
  • When this field is set, the entered Lot Number is used for the output package, regardless of the input packages’ Lot Numbers.
  • Other enabled attributes continue to follow standard inheritance rules.
  • Use Lot Number to Create when you need to assign a new Lot Number that differs from all source packages.
Inventory

Inheritance behavior is consistent across Inventory flows, including:

  • Create Packages from Packages
  • Create from BOM
Single-input packages inherit all enabled attributes. Multiple input packages inherit only attributes that match across all inputs.
Additional notes

The Usable Cannabis per unit field does not inherit from source packages.

This value is determined by the output item configuration and is applied automatically when the package is created.
