Some dispensaries may choose to prepackage their flower from bulk grams. If you have Bulk grams of Flower in your inventory that you will be packing into containers yourself, here's how to convert that inventory into pre-packed units available for sale.
Things to Remember When Packing out Bulk Bud:
Package ID: When packing bud, knowing that the package ID will reflect the originating package is essential. If you have separated this package in METRC with a new tag, you must update the inventory you created in Flowhub with the correct package ID.
Flower that is in bulk grams and pre-packed units on the same METRC package tag will have combined weights when comparing quantity in the METRC tab.
Pack Down Bulk Bud
First, ensure you have a prepacked variant of the Flower Product you wish to convert from Bulk to Packed.
Navigate to Inventory, then Products from the purple bar at the top.
Locate the Product and check the Variants on the right side of the window.
In the example below, Maui Wowie has "Bulk" and "0.5g Preroll" variants. This Product can be converted from Bulk Grams into Joints.
If you need to add another prepacked unit, such as Eighth or Quarter, select Edit on the Product and Add another Variant, then Save the updated Product.
Next, find the bulk flower you want to pack down in your Inventory. Navigate to Inventory, and search or filter for the item.
Once found, select the inventory item. Select "Pack Bulk" on the right side options (note: only Bulk Flower or products with the option "sell by weight" selected can be packed down)
Select the Room and the variant that you would like to pack the Bulk Flower down to.
The "New Regulatory ID" field will allow you to associate this Packed Flower with a new Package ID.
This step is optional unless your dispensary is operating in a state where the entirety of a Metrc package must be in one Room, such as Maryland. This is required for OR.
After inputting an available tag and the quantity you'd like to pack up, clicking save will automatically create the new package in Metrc and decrement the source package.
Enter the quantity of prepacked flower you are creating from this bulk Flower. In this example, we are packing down 0.5g pre rolls and have 250 grams to use, which means we can pack a total of 500, 0.5g pre rolls. We are only going to pack 200, 0.5g pre rolls.
Select the Room the packed flower will be added to, assign a SKU (if needed) and save in the upper right corner.
Find the Inventory item with the new Package ID that was created. You will see the prepacked units on a separate line item from the Bulk grams in your Inventory.
Changing the Category from Flower to Pre-Roll
Some states require (OR) all pre-rolls to be under the pre-roll category, or mabe that is your preference! After completing your packed flower, you can then change the category the item is under. Your dispensary could also pack down the Flower in Metrc first, then import the inventory as pre-rolls. To do this in Flowhub, follow the steps below:
Navigate to Products and find the product that is Flower, that needs to be converted to the Pre-Roll Category
Select Copy in the options on the right side of the screen
Change the category from "Flower" to "Pre-Rolls" and enter a Product Name.
Scroll down and remove all the variations and make sure the remaining fields to match the weight/information of this pre-roll
Save
Navigate to Inventory across the purple bar at the top
Find the pre-roll that was packed down and still under the Flower category, select edit on the right
Select the Magnifying Glass to search for a new product to be associated with this inventory item.
Make sure to find the product that is in the Pre-Rolls category, click select on the right
Click Save in the upper right corner. This inventory is now associated to the Pre-Rolls category instead of the Flower category.
