This article provides an overview of actions you can take to ensure purchase limits are correctly enforced in Michigan.
Avoid overriding allotments
Although Dutchie POS allows admins to override standard purchase limits and allotments for individual customers, Michigan operators should avoid overriding an individual customer's allotment because doing so could result in violations and fines.
When viewing a customer profile in the Register, look for the Current Allotment. If a red trash icon appears next to it, this indicates that a Dutchie POS user overrode this customer's allotment.
Click the trash icon to reset the customer's allotment back to standard amounts.
Even if the customer profile has the correct individual allotment, this can only account for one purchase limit category and will not correctly enforce the separate concentrates limit required by Michigan's overlapping purchase limits.
Audit and reset customer allotments
To view all customers whose allotments have been overridden, go to Customers in the Backoffice and click the cog wheel to expose the Allotment Overridden column, which shows a Yes or No for each customer.
You can select Reset customer allotments for an individual customer by clicking the three dots on the right or, you can select multiple profiles and then Bulk actions > Reset customer allotments.
Michigan med-only locations
Michigan Medical licensees use the Metrc patient allotment for purchase limits. Purchase limits should not be set up in Dutchie POS for medical locations. Instead, make sure settings are turned on so all medical purchases are first pulling the patient purchase limit allotment from metrc directly.
The following settings should be turned on to ensure all medical patients are using the patient allotment stores in Metrc:
- Settings > Integrations > Settings > Mode > Real Time
- Settings > Integrations > Settings > Enable Allotment Check > Yes
This does not apply if you are an adult-use location that serves patients. If you are an adult-use location, you must set purchase limits in Dutchie POS. This information only applies to medical-only locations.
The important element can be used also quite loosely for more emphasis.
Check flower equivalency and grams/concentration
If a package has both the Flower equivalency and Grams per concentration fields populated, the system will use the flower equivalency to calculate purchase limits.
If a product is intended to use grams per concentration to calculate purchase limits (like concentrate products), the flower equivalency field should either be left blank or match the grams per concentration field:
