| Understand the difference between the weight of a whole package and the weight of each sellable unit. Setting the correct Unit Weight, Package Weight, Order Quantity and Unit of Measure (UoM) ensures accurate pricing, inventory counts and METRC compliance. |
| 1 • Key Definitions |
| a. |
Package Weight — total weight of the entire package, including product and materials. |
| b. |
Unit Weight — weight of one sellable unit (e.g., 3.5 g per eighth, 1.0 g pre‑roll, 0.5 g cart). |
| c. |
Order Quantity — number of units created from a bulk package. |
| d. |
Unit of Measure (UoM) — measurement units (Grams vs Units) used to track sales. |
| 2 • Why This Matters |
| a. |
Pricing — correct Unit Weight ensures the right price is applied per sale. |
| b. |
Inventory — correct UoM and Order Quantity keep inventory counts accurate. |
| c. |
Compliance — METRC validations depend on matching UoM and unit weights. |
| 3 • Common Scenarios |
| a. |
Bulk Flower sold by weight — set UoM to Grams; leave Unit Weight blank; Package Weight counts down with each sale. |
| b. |
Bulk Flower → pre‑packs — change UoM to Units; set Unit Weight to the weight per pre‑pack (e.g., 3.5 g for an eighth); set Order Quantity to the number of pre‑packs; Package Weight decreases by Unit Weight × quantity. |
| c. |
Pre‑rolls — set UoM to Units; set Unit Weight equal to grams per pre‑roll (e.g., 1.0 g); ensures each sale reduces the package correctly. |
| d. |
Cartridges/Edibles — set UoM to Units; Unit Weight holds the net weight per item (e.g., 0.5 g oil or 10 mg piece); follow state rules. |
| 4 • Edit Settings & POS Behavior |
| a. |
Package Details — in the Products list, click the arrow next to the Batch # and choose Edit Package; adjust the UoM (Grams or Units), Unit Weight and Order Quantity as needed; save your changes. |
| b. |
POS Behavior — with UoM = Grams the product sells by scale/weight; with UoM = Units each scan removes one unit using the defined Unit Weight. |
| 5 • Worked Examples |
| a. |
1 oz → eighths — start with a 28.0 g package; set UoM to Units, Unit Weight to 3.5 g and Order Quantity to 8; result: 8 pre‑packed units and package weight drops from 28.0 g to 0 g. |
| b. |
100 × 1 g pre‑rolls — start with a 100 g package; set UoM to Units, Unit Weight to 1.0 g and Order Quantity to 100; result: 100 units and package weight drops from 100 g to 0 g. |
| 6 • Avoiding Mistakes |
| a. |
UoM mismatch — METRC may expect Units; change UoM to Units and set Unit Weight. |
| b. |
Wrong Unit Weight — if the unit weight is wrong (e.g., 3.0 g instead of 3.5 g), edit it to the correct weight. |
| c. |
Forgetting Order Quantity — when converting to units, always enter the Order Quantity; without it no units are created. |
