Weedetect makes it easy to ensure that your Metrc package and inventory records are accurate and up-to-date. Follow this guide to audit your inventory and packages, identify discrepancies, and maintain compliance.

Step 1: Export Your Inventory Data

Before you begin, you'll need to export your inventory and package data from your Seed-to-Sale system. Ensure the export includes all relevant fields, such as package labels, quantities, expiration dates, and locations.

Step 2: Upload Your Data

Log in to Weedetect, find the drop zone labeled "Upload to start a new audit" and upload your exported sales data. We support CSV and Excel formats. Weedetect will create a draft audit and redirect you to the audit dashboard.

Next, select "Package" as the file resource type. This step is necessary so Weedetect knows what data you intend to audit in Metrc for the given file.

Metrc Packages

Click the icon to the far right of the file labeled "Audit fields" and select the column/field in your file that contains the package label. A package label must be included in each row of your uploaded file in order for Weedetect to find the record in Metrc.

Step 4. Run the audit

Once your data is mapped, you can initiate the audit. Weedetect will compare the data in your uploaded file against the records in Metrc, checking for discrepancies in fields like package quantities, expiration dates, and locations.

Step 5. Review the Audit Report

After the audit is complete, review the results in your audit report. Discrepancies will be categorized by priority (Low, Medium, or High) based on their potential impact on compliance. Focus on resolving high-priority issues first to maintain accurate sales records.

Step 6. Correct Discrepancies

Based on the audit report, make the necessary corrections in your Seed-to-Sale system or Metrc to resolve the discrepancy. You should be careful to make the adjustments in the system that's the source of truth for your business. If done correctly, Weedetect will send an email notification informing you the discrepancies have been corrected.

Why Audit Packages and Inventory?

Auditing your Metrc packages and inventory is crucial for maintaining compliance with state regulations. Discrepancies in inventory levels, package data, and expiration dates can lead to fines, audits, and even license suspensions. Regularly auditing your data helps you identify and correct issues before they become compliance risks.
