Inventory Availability

To view a summary of active, available to sell, and ordered inventory in your facility, navigate to Inventory > Availability on the Canix Web Application. The following columns are available on all reports, and are saved as default reports by function. The column definitions are also available as a tool tip at the top of each column in the report.

Inventory Quantity Summary Columns:

• Total: All Active packages, regardless of the package status. This value represents the packages displayed in the Inventory > Packages > Active table.
• Total for Sale: Active Packages with a Canix status of Available to Sell + custom statuses allowing sale of the package + Allocated packages on Created, Approved and Filled Sales Orders
• Ordered: Line item quantities on Sales Orders with 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, and this value does not disappear once packages are added to the order.
  • If the sales order status changes to Shipped, Accepted or Archived, the ordered quantity will no longer be displayed in this column because the order is no longer considered Active. Do not move the sales order to one of these statuses unless the packages have left your facility, as this will overstate the quantity available to sell.
  • Unavailable Quantity - This is a calculated value in the Ordered column that will appear if there is not enough quantity to cover the current orders. Unavailable = Ordered - Total for Sale
• Available: A calculated column = Total - Ordered
• Unordered: A calculated column = Total for Sale - Ordered
      *This column was previously labeled Available to Sell*
• Allocated: Active packages allocated to a sales order, regardless of sales order status.

  • Once an outgoing transfer is in transit, the packages are no longer considered active, and are no longer included in this allocated column as a result.

  • 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.

• Unfilled: A calculated column = Ordered - Allocated

Item Details Columns:

• Item: The package's item name. Item names will have an (inactive) notation next to the name if the item was populated from packages received on an incoming transfer. 
  The items displayed in the table depend on the view:
  • All: All facility data > active items, as well as items on packages received from an incoming transfer.
  • Active Inventory: Items on active packages, whether created in the facility or received from an incoming transfer
  • Available to Sell: Items on active packages with a Canix status of Available to Sell, on packages with a custom statuses allowing sale of the package, or on packages with the allocated status.
  • Orders to Fill: Line items on sales orders with a status of Created, Approved or Filled, and line items on sales orders with a status of Shipped, Approved or Archived where the allocated package is still active in the facility (has not left on a transfer).
• Strain: The item's strain name
• Item Type: The item type associated with the item
• Brand: The Canix brand associated with the item in facility data > items. This is not populated for items with (inactive) notations next to them as items received from incoming transfers are not currently managed with Canix fields. 
• Sub-Type: The Canix sub type field associated with the item in facility data > items. This is not populated for items with (inactive) notations next to them as items received from incoming transfers are not currently managed with Canix fields. 
• Accounting Type: The Canix accounting inventory type field associated with the item in facility data > items. This is not populated for items with (inactive) notations next to them as items received from incoming transfers are not currently managed with Canix fields. 

Package Details Columns:

Select the arrow next to each item to view active packages in a sub table. The following columns are available in this view.

• Tag: The package tag number found in the packages table for active inventory. Packages are filtered by default in the Status column based on the Inventory Availability view, but can view additional packages with the status filter.
• Quantity: The active package quantity - This does not take into account reservations on manufacturing runs.
• Status: The Canix package status
• Production Batch: The production batch on the package record
  Note: Metrc packages may populate the Source Production Batch depending on the package record.
• Source Production Batch: The source package's production batch
• Preferred THC Result: By default, this is the THC % test result associated with the package. This can be configured to use a different THC result, such as Total THC, in the Lab Tests > Lab Test Configuration page. See here for more information on managing Preferred THC Results.
• Preferred CBD Result: By default, this is the CBD % test result associated with the package. This can be configured to use a different CBD result, such as Total CBD, in the Lab Tests > Lab Test Configuration page. See here for more information on managing Preferred CBD Results.
• Location: The location associated with the package, or Room in BioTrack facilities. If your Metrc facility does not have access to Locations, these are Canix locations managed in facility data > locations.
