Meet GrowerIQ version 3.2.0! In this version, we've overhauled core inventory functions and introduced powerful new tools to give you unparalleled control, flexibility, and traceability from bulk material to finished goods.

Here's what's in this release:


✨New Features ✨

Introducing 'Package Runs'

In this version, individual Lot Items have been replaced with intuitive and powerful Package Runs. This is a workflow game-changer, simplifying the packaging process, consolidating packaging data into a single comprehensive page.

Note: Lot Items will no longer have individual pages, or activity logs; these now reside on the corresponding Package Run page. This change does not compromise traceability, but rather consolidates activity data, and improves performance of the application.

As shown below, the new Package Run page will display the available units (lot items), source lot information, audit trail, as well as THC/CBD potency.


Multi-Lot Package Runs

You asked, and we answered! We've now added the ability to create multi-lot package runs. Unlike before, where SKUs could only be packaged from a single lot source, users are able to create package runs from multiple source lots!

From the Lots grid page, simply select 2 or more lots of the same end-type and variety, and a new button will be available called Create Multi Lot Package Run.

This will open a new modal, enabling the creation of Package Run. From this modal, users can select how much material from each lot should be used for the run, as well as the THC/CBD potency of that run.


Splitting Lots

In this version, users can now split lots into multiple distinct lots, rather than the previous process, requiring material to be sent back to a batch to be split. This feature enables quick management of bulk material, creating a clear audit trail.


Customizable 'Colour Grades' for Lots

We've introduced a new colour grading system, allowing users to create their own product grading system, and assign these grades at the lot level. This powerful QA tool provides a granular and visual mechanism to sort and manage bulk lot inventory.

Colour grades are user definable, and may be configured by the users. Reach out to Support for assistance creating and managing Colour Grades!

Once colour grades have been enabled, users can assign grades to lot inventory either in bulk from the lots grid page, or from the individual lot page.


Revert, Edit, Recycle Package Runs

We've now added improved flexibility when managing packaged items. On the Package Run page, you will notice 3 new buttons.

  • Revert Package Run: Use this option if a package run was created by mistake. Reverting a package run returns the material to the source lot(s), as if it never happened. An audit log will be created for this change.

  • Edit Package Run: Use this option if the quantity for the package run was entered by mistake. Editing a package run allows users to increase or decrease the quantity, based on the original date of the package run. If editing the quantity down, the material will be returned to the source lot; if editing the quantity up, material will be taken from the source lot. Note, Edit Package Run is only available for single-lot package runs, not multi-lot package runs.

  • Recycle Items: Use this option to unpackage material in a packaging run. Unlike Revert and Edit Package run functions, Recycle Items does not revert or change the original package run activity; instead, this feature is used for reclaiming material already packaged to it's original lot.

When using the Revert or Edit Package Run features, if your package run was created in the past (in a previous month), this will impact regulatory reports as this will change the amount of packaged units in that period. In these scenarios, please reach out to Support for assistance.
