🚨 AVOID CRITICAL METRC ERRORS 🚨

Learn how to correctly handle package adjustments, display samples, trade samples and more within Meadow to avoid Metrc discrepancies.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Once a package is in Meadow,

DO NOT adjust, split, combine or finish it directly in Metrc.

You can search for a package tag here to see if a package is already in Meadow.

πŸ’‘ You may search by the last 4 digits of the Package ID in Metrc tab. Check each tab to confirm it's not it's not in a different status (ready, received, finished, etc.)

Otherwise manually enter the entire ID or copy and paste the ID directly from Metrc by right-clicking the tag, select "copy to clipboard," then select "tag."

Follow these steps to correctly handle packages adjustments within Meadow

Trade Samples πŸ’Ό

Β§15041.2. Trade Samples.
(b) Cannabis or cannabis products that have been designated as trade samples may be provided from one licensee to another licensee for the purpose of providing the recipient licensee with product information to aid in making purchasing decisions about new or existing cannabis or cannabis products.

Trade samples are a way for producers and distributors to let retailers and their staff try a product at no cost.

If a package is flagged as a trade sample in Metrc, it will be flagged when it comes into Meadow.

  • According to regulations, trade samples can’t be sold, so those packages can only be removed from Meadow using a reconciliation or voiding.

  • View your trade samples by using the filter on the receive packages tab.


Administrative Hold Packages

Packages marked as on Administrative Hold in Metrc by the regulator can't be sold, and must be reconciled or transferred in Metrc.

  • This is most commonly used for product recalls, for example when a batch is found to have failed a lab test.

  • These packages will be flagged in Meadow and can't be sold, only reconciled.

  • View any admin hold packages by using the filter on the receive packages tab.

Voiding a Package

Void a package to resolve a purchase order, product intake mistake, or to remove the package from Meadow entirely.

  • Void a Package with Recreate as Ready? Set to Yes = The package will become "ready" in Meadow again, allowing you to receive it to a product

  • Void a Package with Recreate as Ready? Set to NO = Removing the package from Meadow entirely, and it will only exist in Metrc. The only way to bring the package back is with a self-transfer.

How to Void a Package

Finish/Unfinish Packages

When a package reaches 0 units in Meadow, it will be automatically finished in Meadow and Metrc over-night.

How to Finish a Package:

There is rarely a circumstance that requires you to finish packages in Meadow manually. Should you find that reason, then to finish a package in Meadow, find the received package, click "view," select the 3 dots, and select "finish package."

Unfinish Packages:

If you want to re-open that package to sell from, you must unfinish it in Meadow first, before reconciling. If you are trying to reconcile a product in, and there is no package to select from, it's likely that the package needs to be unfinished first.

How to Unfinish a Package

  1. To reconcile in inventory for a finished package, find the package you need in the "finished" packages list and view it.

  2. Click the three buttons in the top right corner and select "unfinish package"

  3. The package will be unfinished in both Meadow and Metrc.

  4. Create the reconciliation for the now unfinished package to the correct quantity.

  5. These changes will report to Metrc and will be updated in Meadow immediately.
