Split Packages

  • Updated

After creating bulk Packages, you may need to split 1 Package into new ones. This may be used to split a bulk Package into smaller Packages of specific weights that are ready for sale, or to split a bulk Package from a Harvest into smaller specific Packages, such as A Buds, B Buds, and Shake/Trim. This may also be used to create Testing Packages.

In this article, we'll cover:

  1. Split Packages
    1. On the Web Application
    2. On the Mobile Application
  2. View Packages
  3. Track Submissions

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

Split Packages

On the Web Application:

  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.

    • 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
