Metrc Interface

Metrc

Metrc, Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance, is a cloud hosted system for tracking state-legalised cannabis in the USA, including between licensed labs and their licensed clients. It manages and reports supply chain activities as required by state regulations

In Metrc, labs receive Transfers identified by a Manifest ID, for sample batches logged by clients, and report analysis results to Metrc which create the opportunity for a LIMS / Metrc interface to:

  • Download and import Sample information from Metrc
  • Export Test results to Metrc

Track and Trace browser addon

Track and Trace is an Open Source browser extension that enhances the behaviour of Metrc. It helps users with licensing, managing and searching for packages, transfers, plants, and tags right in the Metrc page, viewing and printing manifests and lab COAs

Bika Cannabis imports Track and Trace's spreadsheet exports of Manifests and their Packages to corresponding Bika Batches and Samples

After the Samples have been analysed and their results Published, they can be exported from Bika in the formats corresponding to Track and Trace's import requirements, and uploaded

Bika Batches from Metrc Transfers

Download Metrc Transfers and Packages per spreadsheet, import them to Bika Batches and Samples

Exporting results and COAs to Metrc

Batches and their Samples have a new state, Exported, and attribute Date Exported. Like with their other states Batches can be listed as Exported or not

Bika Metrc setup

Some Sample data that are not available from the Metrc imports are provided from defaults configured for the Client, e.g.

The Contact and Contact CCs to which results have to be returned for the Client. This is set up on the Clients' Preferences tab

Clients are registered at Metrc with their full legal names as Sample Origins. In Bika, and how names will appear on COAs for Clients, are not always the same as Metrc's. Each client therefor gets a Metrc Origin field on their Preference tabs where the Metrc name is kept and used in lookups.

For big uploads from Metrc, the Sample registration form needs to page - set the default number of new Sample columns per page on the Analyses tab in in the Setup, 5 is a good number
