Break down a package into smaller packages using the Create Package inventory management action in Dutchie POS.
With Dutchie POS Backoffice, you can break down a package into smaller packages by using the Create Package inventory management function. Possible reasons for creating packages include:
- Returning defective items to the vendor.
- Breaking a large package into smaller packages to distribute to other facilities.
Things to know
- Creating packages may also be called splitting a package.
- This feature is for Metrc-integrated locations. In BioTrack environments, use the sublot option instead.
- Verify the Grams/concentration value of quantity-based products before creating packages.
Create packages
- Go to Products > Inventory.
- Click the three dots … next to the package you want to use as your source package.
- Select Create packages.
- Select the Product that the new package(s) will be assigned to.
- Enter the Total quantity to package, or the number of units of the selected product you want to create.
- Enter the Number of packages you want to create. Dutchie POS automatically divides the total quantity to package across the number of packages as evenly as possible. For example, if your total quantity is 30 and the number of packages is 3, the system allocates 10 units per package. The weight of one unit is based on the grams/concentration value of the selected product.
- Enter or generate a Package ID:
- If you’re integrated with Metrc, paste a new Metrc tag number into this field.
- Or, if you only want to create a new package in Dutchie POS that is linked to the source package's tag number in Metrc, you can select Bypass state system and instead of using a new Metrc tag click Generate or manually enter your own package ID, which will only exist in Dutchie POS. Learn more.
- If you’re not integrated with Metrc or BioTrack, click Generate or manually enter your own package ID.
- Select the Room the package will be assigned to and the Type of package.
