Use the Convert option to convert weight-based inventory to quantity-based in the Dutchie Backoffice.
Things to consider
- This action requires the convert inventory user permission.
- If you're integrated with Metrc, converting a package in Dutchie POS also creates a new package in Metrc and requires new barcode stickers.
- If you're integrated with Biotrack, the new package ID is auto-generated and not editable.
- You can also use the convert tool to correct a mistake if a package was assigned to the wrong catalog product. For this use case, choose the Bypass state system option.
- If you mistakenly enter the wrong product type or unit of measure you can follow this process to make the correct.
Change unit of measurement type and default unit field of a product
Before converting a product’s unit of measurement, you’ll first need to change the measurement type and default unit field in the Catalog.

- Select the Catalog entry of the product you would like to change into a Quantity-based product.
- In the Type dropdown, select Quantity.
- In the Default Unit field, select Quantity.
- Click Save.
Convert unit of measurement
- Go to Products > Inventory.
- Click the three dots … next to the product you want to convert.
- Select Convert from the list of actions.
- In the Products dropdown, choose the edited product catalog entry. Complete the fields in the Convert packages window as applicable.
Note: The From section is filled out with existing product info. - In the From section, enter the entire quantity from the original package.
- In the To section, enter the same quantity.
Note: This may auto populate when entered in the From field. - Click Generate to create a new package ID, or copy and paste your original Metrc tag into this field.
- Check the Bypass State system box. This allows you to convert without the changes being synced to Metrc.
- If you're integrated with BioTrack, check the box for No modification to product only if the new product will not require a new lab test. This option carries over the lab test results from the original package to the new package.
- Click Convert to finish converting the unit of measurement.
Note: A warning message may appear noting, "If the output quantity is not calculated based on the input quantity grams/concentration, there will be a discrepancy with your traceability system." Ensure all fields are complete and proceed with converting the package.
