ASSORTMENT PACKS CONFUSION

Some distributors are experiencing confusion about what labs can and cannot test. For example, the lab says, “We cannot do tests on this assortment pack configuration in METRC.”

It might be hard to see the problem, but if the assortment pack (5 flavors of a specific product packaged in one unit) is sent under one METRC Package Tag the lab still needs to, but is unable, to send 5 results through the METRC API and UI. However, when the Assortment Packs are split up as one SKU under one Package Tag (a total of 5 Package Tags), the lab is not receiving the product in their “final form”.

To try for consistency with labs, send alike items in final form units per tag for testing. After you get your test results then you may repackage and combine the packages into the Assortment Pack unit that is now in final form.
