Split Packages

Sophie
  • Updated

In Canix, similar to other seed to sale systems, splitting a package means one of two things. First, breaking a package down into smaller package(s) of the same item as the source. This is used when, for example, taking a package of bulk flower and splitting it up into one or multiple, smaller packages of that same item, bulk flower. 

 

The second is taking the source package and changing it into a different item(s) with a new package tag. This function has a ton of flexibility to create multiple new packages with the same new item as well as creating multiple new packages all with different items.

A simple example of this would be taking a package of bulk flower and splitting it into your A’s, B’s, smalls and trim packages. You could then use the same function to split your package of A buds into your final packed 8ths.  

 

We’ll go through each example step by step below. 

 

In this article, we'll cover:

  1. Split Packages
  2. Split Packages into New Package Items
  3. View Packages
  4. Non-Cannabis Inputs Tab
  5. Track Submissions

To combine multiple Packages into 1 or more new Packages, see Combine Packages.

 

Split Packages

  1. Navigate to Inventory > Packages > View: Active
  2. Use the filters to narrow down your search (by Tag, Item Name, Item Type, Strain, Location, etc.)
  3. Once filtered, select the Source Package(s) you want to split into new Package(s)
    Note: See our article on Continuous Scanning for Package and Plant Inventory to find out how to scan the tags you'd like to take action on.
  4. Select Actions > Split Package(s)mceclip0.png
  5. Complete all required fields:
    • Source Package will auto-fill showing Source Package details
    • Start Tag: This will auto-populate with the next available tag, you can always manually enter or scan a different tag
    • Packaged Date
    • Expiration Date: Optional date the new Package(s) must be sold/used by
    • Package Locations: Apply the same location/room for the new Package(s)
    • Finish Source Package: Select this option if you are depleting the entire contents of the Source Package, leaving a remaining weight of zero, and wish to Finish Package once completed; this option can only be selected after all new Package details are completed in the next set of steps
  6. On the right side of the screen, click on the blue hyperlink of the Item Name
  7. Complete all required fields: 
    • Tag: If different from what is prefilled, scan or manually edit the last few numbers for a new tag.
    • Use Same Item (as source package): Check this box to use the same Item and Strain as the Source Package
      • To use a different Item, uncheck this box and search for the new Item to be used - this workflow is covered in the section below.
    • Production Batch: Optional and for Metrc facilities only, you must leave this field blank to inherit the same Production Batch as the Source Package
      • To change it, a new production Batch number can be entered
    • Location: This will auto-populate with the Package Location that has been applied to all packages or if each package will be in a different location select a new loation.
    • Testing Package: Select this option if this Package is solely created to submit for testing
      • Do not select this option if this Package is not being submitted for testing, or it will no longer be able to be transferred for sale
    • Packaged Weight and Units: The weight and unit being pulled from the Source Package to create the new Package(s); this will be the amount of each new Package, not the total Pulled
    • Number of Packages: Enter the number of new Package(s) each being created with the Packaged Weight
      • The line below this text box will provide a breakdown of the max number of packages that can be created from the Source Package with the weight specified
    • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) per package: Optional Cost of Goods for Reporting
    • Internal Lot ID: Optional Lot ID (Canix only) to track process from seed to sale in Reporting

  8. Verify everything looks correct
  9. Select Update
  10. If your new Package(s) will deplete the total contents of the Source Package and leave it with a quantity of zero, you can now select Finish Source Package
    • If selected, enter a Finish Date
  11. The new Package's details will be displayed under the line item; if you would like to add an additional new Package to split the Source Package into, select Add Item in the top right corner
  12. If you'd like to simultaneously split an additional Source Package into new Packages, select + Add Package from the top right corner of the page and repeat the same steps
  13. Once finished, verify everything looks correct
  14. Select Submit

Split Package into a Different Item

  1. From the split package page > select the blue Item Name text
  2. Deselect “Use Same Item” option
    • If unchecked, Canix defaults to searching for items with strains that match the item on the source package. You can toggle to “All Items” and to search across all of your active items in Canix.
  3. Start typing the item you are creating and select it from the drop down


  4. Fill in all of the required and desired optional fields as the instructions explain above
  5. You will now see a pulled weight field available when changing the item. Allowing you to account for changes in the Unit of Measurement when splitting into a different item type.
    • Pulled Weight is the amount you are taking out for the source package
      • This is an optional field if the source package unit is the same as the child package unit (i.e. Grams)
      • If left blank, Canix pulls the same weight out of the source package that is entered in the packaged weight field
    • Generally these weight match when working within similar item types
      • Example: Packaging 8ths from Bulk Flower - We pulled the same weight/amount out of the source package that is going to be packaged into the new child package(s)
    • This weight may be different than the packaged weight when changing item types
      • Example: Splitting Bulk Flower into Bulk Concentrate - The weight of the flower we used for the extraction process is different from the weight of the Bulk Concentrate package we are creating. 
      • The new package might also be a different unit of measurement. Canix will restrict the UOM to either weight, volume, or count-based- depending on what UOM is assigned to the item.
  6. Verify everything looks correct
  7. Select Update

You now have the opportunity to create additional packages from the source. These additional packages can either match the item we just created, the source package or a completely new item.

Be sure you are not pulling more weight than what’s available in the source package.

 

If you pull all of the weight out of the source package, be sure to click finish package to save yourself a step.

View Packages

  • Navigate to Inventory > Packages > View: Active

Non-Cannabis Inputs Tab

The Split Package page also gives visibility into any non-cannabis inputs from Bills of Materials that will be used on the output packages being created. When any non-cannabis inputs are pulled during a package split, the "Non-Cannabis Inputs" tab will be enabled and will show the quantity required, and the quantity that will be applied.
