In METRC, what is the difference between 'on-hold' and 'quarantine' package statuses?
Answer: On-hold is a METRC system status preventing transfers; quarantine is a physical separation practice, often not a distinct METRC status
In METRC, 'on-hold' is a system-level status that restricts package movement, while 'quarantine' typically refers to a physical practice of separating product, which may not be a separate METRC status in all jurisdictions.
A processor wants to create a tincture using cannabis oil from two different source packages. How should this be recorded in METRC?
Answer: Use the production batch feature to record multiple input packages yielding one or more output packages
METRC's production batch functionality is designed to handle multi-input manufacturing processes, allowing a processor to record multiple source packages combined into new output packages.
A METRC package tag is affixed to a package that was then destroyed. Can the tag be reused on a new package?
Answer: No, METRC package tags are single-use and cannot be reassigned once used
METRC package tags are unique identifiers that are permanently retired once assigned to a package — they cannot be reused under any circumstances.
What is the purpose of the 'note' field when making a package adjustment in METRC?
Answer: It provides a mandatory reason or explanation for the quantity change to support audit trails
The note field in a METRC package adjustment records the reason for the quantity change, creating an audit trail that inspectors can review during compliance checks.
Under METRC rules, which of the following is an example of an activity that would require creating a new package rather than adjusting an existing one?
Answer: Splitting a bulk package into smaller retail units
Splitting a bulk package into smaller retail units requires creating new packages with new tags, as each distinct retail package must be separately tracked in METRC.
How does METRC handle the concept of 'remediation' for a package that has failed pesticide testing?
Answer: The licensee may create a remediation package from the failed lot, apply an approved remediation method, and resubmit for testing
In jurisdictions that allow remediation, licensees can create a remediation package in METRC, apply an approved method (e.g., CO2 washing), and submit the new package for retesting before it can enter the retail supply chain.
A METRC licensee is closing their business. What is the required final step in METRC regarding their remaining inventory?
Answer: Transfer all remaining inventory to another licensed facility or record it as destroyed, ensuring METRC reflects zero active inventory
Upon license surrender or closure, all remaining inventory must be lawfully disposed of — either transferred to another licensee or destroyed and documented in METRC — so that active inventory reaches zero.
