PART 5: THE MOST COMMON METRC TRANSITION CHALLENGES ACROSS THE SUPPLY CHAIN

RETAILERS

MAYBE YOU’VE EXPERIENCED POINT OF SALE COMPANIES OVERSELLING BY TELLING YOU THEY WILL AUTOMATE ALL OF METRC FOR YOU.

Please be warned, this is a huge compliance risk. Understanding how your POS impacts METRC is crucial to every retailer’s METRC compliance success.

Often times it’s the bad data entry into the Point-of-Sale that caused the discrepancy in METRC, and no Point-of-Sale will save you from your own mistakes.

Maybe you’ve experienced some of these entry errors yourself:

  • Incorrect unit of measure leading to conversion errors

  • Missed or duplicated sales due to an API error

  • Receiving an error when trying to submit a consumer return resulting in a lack of seed-to-sale tracking

  • Misplaced decimal point leading to over selling or under selling in METRC

  • Errors when submitting sales via CSV upload

To avoid compliance risks:

  1. Verify all the actions you’ve done in METRC.

  2. Brush up on the topic with the course What You Need to Know for A Successful Metrc Transition
