Once your product is ready for testing, you'll create Testing Packages to send to the Lab. This uses Split Packages but requires carefully marking the new Package as a "Testing Package" during creation; this step is required in order for your Testing Packages to be added to a Lab Transfer.

In this article, we'll cover:

1. Create Testing Packages
2. View Testing Packages
3. Track Submissions

Create Testing 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 will be using to create new Testing Package
   • You can also select multiple Source Packages to create multiple Testing Packages at once
4. Select Actions > Split Package(s)
5. First, on the left side of the screen, complete all required fields:
   • Source Package: This will auto-fill showing Source Package details
   • Start Tag: This will auto-populate with the next available tag
   • Packaged Date: Typically today's date
   • Expiration Date: Optional
   • Location: Current location of the new Package
   • Finish Source Package: This option typically does not apply when creating Testing Packages
6. On the right side of the screen, click on the blue hyperlink of the Item Name
7. Complete all required fields: 
   • Tag: This will auto-populate with the next available tag
     
   • Use Same Item (as source package): Keep this box checked to use the same Item and Strain as the Source Package
   • Production Batch: Optional and for Metrc facilities only, you must leave this field blank to inherit the same Production Batch as the Source Package
   • Testing Package: Check the box to enable this option and mark this as a Testing Package
     • This option must be enabled to allow the Package to be added to a Lab Transfer
       • For MI, OK, MO, and NV, you must select a testing option from the Required Tests dropdown menu.             
   • 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: Typically a single Testing Package is created from each Source Package, but regulations may vary by state
   • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) per package: Optional
   • Internal Lot ID: Optional Lot ID (Canix only)
     
     
8. Confirm the Testing Package box is checked to ensure the new Package is marked for Testing
9. Verify everything looks correct
10. Select Update
11. The new Package's details will be displayed under the line item
    • If you need to create an additional new Package to split the same Source Package into, select Add Item in the top right corner
12. If you'd like to simultaneously split another different Source Package into new Packages, select + Add Package from the top right corner of the page and repeat the same steps
13. If you are splitting multiple Packages, be sure to scroll down to complete the steps for each one
14. Once finished, verify everything looks correct
15. Select Submit
