BioTrack Inventory
BioTrack facilities can create and manage Inventory through Canix. These are referred to in Canix’s product as Packages. See the sections below to learn more.
Viewing Inventory
BioTrack Inventory can be viewed by navigating to Inventory > Packages. The following views are available by default, but custom saved views can be created by following the steps below.
- All - View all unsubmitted, current and historical inventory in one view. No actions can be taken on inventory from this view, except for managing non-cannabis and labor costs.
- Active - View all current inventory in all locations. Use the column filters to view inventory by inventory type, rooms (locations), sub types, and more. All actions for managing inventory can be accessed from this view.
- Note: Transferred Packages once active in Canix are currently displayed in this view. To filter out transferred packages, utilize sales orders to change package statuses to Allocated, or use custom package statuses to manage and filter out packages of a custom transferred status.
- Unallocated - View all current inventory not allocated to a Sales Order. All actions for managing inventory can be accessed from this view. This view is recommended to view Current Inventory that is not transferred out, or scheduled for transfer.
- Allocated - View all current inventory allocated to a Sales Order in Canix. No actions can be taken on packages from this view. This view is recommended as a Transferred Packages view to determine orders that should have corresponding transfers in BioTrack.
- Transferred - This view is not currently supported for BioTrack facilities.
- Finished - View all manually deactivated (finished) inventory. Packages are not automatically moved here once 0 quantity is remaining. No actions can be taken on inventory in this view.
- Unsubmitted - This view is populated for non-BioTrack facilities only.
Custom Saved Views allow users to move around or remove columns, and set filters to save reporting views for future use. See more here for creating and managing saved views.
Inventory Availability
Inventory Availability provides a clear view of package quantities available to sell. Easily create Sales Orders directly from Inventory Availability for available packages or by item name. Inventory Availability allows users to create Custom Views for reports specific to business needs or utilize our default views.
To view a summary of available and ordered inventory in your facility, navigate to Inventory > Availability on the Canix Web Application.
To identify the inventory summarized in each column, you can also mouse over the information icon at the top of each column in the report:
- Total: All Active packages, regardless of whether or not they are allocated to a sales order. All packages in the packages > active table are summed in this column.
- Available: The Total quantity minus the Ordered quantity. This is the quantity available to place future orders from, or for use when processing inventory.
- Ordered: Total quantity ordered on sales orders that have a status of Created, Approved or Filled. Packages do not need to be added to a sales order for the quantity to populate in this column. If the sales order status changes to Shipped, Accepted or Archived, or if a transfer is created with an arrival date before today's date, the ordered quantity will be no longer be displayed in this column as an active order.
- Allocated: Packages allocated to a sales order with a status of Created, Approved or Filled, or on a transfer with an arrival time that has not yet passed.
-
Once a transfer date has passed, the allocated package will no longer be displayed in this Total column.
-
If the sales order status is changed to Shipped, Accepted or Archived, the package will be removed from the Allocated column but will remain in your Total Inventory. To remove the package from your total inventory, a transfer must be created.

Alternatively, you can add packages directly to a Sales Order.
