A METRC-licensed cultivator notices that a harvest batch shows a yield significantly lower than expected. What QC-related action should be taken in METRC?
Answer: Record the actual harvested weight accurately and investigate the discrepancy through internal QC processes
Accurate weight recording is mandatory; the licensee should enter the true yield and address the discrepancy through documented QC investigation.
Which METRC feature allows a licensee to track the movement of a specific package through multiple quality control checkpoints?
Answer: The package's audit history and transfer log
METRC's package audit history and transfer log provide a complete, timestamped record of every action taken on a package, supporting QC traceability.
When a lab uploads a passing test result in METRC, which identifying number links the result to the correct package?
Answer: The package tag UID (RFID tag number)
The package tag UID is the unique identifier that links test results, transfers, and inventory records to the specific package in METRC.
A manufacturer produces a new batch of edibles and submits a sample for testing. The lab result shows a pesticide exceedance. Which METRC status should the batch packages carry?
Answer: Failed — packages placed on hold awaiting remediation or destruction decision
A failed pesticide test results in failed package status and hold, preventing distribution while the licensee determines the next remediation or destruction step.
Under METRC QC traceability requirements, what information must be accurately recorded when destroying a failed cannabis package?
Answer: Package UID, quantity destroyed, destruction method, reason, date, and witness information as required by state rules
METRC destruction entries must capture all required fields — UID, quantity, method, reason, and date — to fully account for the removed product.
A compliance officer reviews METRC data and finds a package was transferred to retail before a required QC test was completed. This is an example of:
Answer: A serious compliance violation — products must not enter retail without required testing
Transferring untested products to retail is a significant violation because it bypasses consumer safety protections built into the mandatory testing framework.
A state cannabis regulator uses METRC data to perform a QC audit. Which report type would best show all packages currently failing or awaiting test results across all licensees?
Answer: The statewide packages report filtered by testing status (Failed or Testing)
Filtering the packages report by testing status allows regulators to identify all packages in a failed or pending-test state across the supply chain.
