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. Packages with test results from Confident Cannabis or Metrc will also now reflect in the side panel when selecting an item name.
Inventory Availability
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.

Lab Results
Confident Cannabis and Metrc lab results are now displayed per package in the side panel when selecting an item name. If Metrc lab results are available, these will be displayed instead of Confident Cannabis results.
Marked Available for Sale
Packages in Metrc Facilities that have passed testing, will now automatically be "Marked Available for Sale". This is an optional feature and can be disabled in Facility Management, requiring users to manually mark packages as available for sale.
This is a setting that can be controlled on each facility under Admin > Facility Management > select a facility > scroll to the bottom for the option labeled “Mark Tested Packages as Sellable". If this option is disabled, packages will not be marked available to sell automatically, and can be managed manually.
