You can now harvest in multiple stages, and make self-adjustments like backdating and reverting a destruction.

Main Highlights

🌟 Exciting New Features

  1. Streamline error correction: Revert Destruction and Dequeue material from the destruction queue

  2. More flexibility: Backdate activities that have already been created

  3. Blend products in the way that suits your business! Merge lots with different end types

  4. Harvest in stages, and allow for Multiple Harvesting events on the same batch

🚀 That’s not all…

  1. Quickly locate information thanks to incorporating batch and lot names on the destruction report

  2. Avoid quantity errors by choosing "Kg" and "L" as units when receiving supplies

  3. Simplified end type names without units

  4. Simpler sampling: Send all remaining material from a batch or lot to the lab


✨This release 2.1.5 positively impacts how your operations work by improving usability and flexibility when using the software. For that reason, it will stay in UAT longer. We want to make sure that you have enough time to test it out and share your feedback with us.✨

Would you like to request a training session for these updates?


🌟 New Exciting Features

Streamline error correction:

1. REVERT DESTRUCTION and DEQUEUE material from destruction the queue

  • A single page for all destructions
    To make navigation more intuitive, we have combined all destruction related pages into a single page named "Destruction" with three tabs: "Queue", "History" and "Reports".

1.a. DEQUEUE

  • Removing material from the "Queue for Destruction"
    If you want to reverse material queued for destruction go to the "Destruction Queue" page under the "Queue" tab and click on the "dequeue" button. The amount selected will be automatically removed from the queue and will be reversed to the original batch.

  • You can also remove a batch from the Destruction Queue by clicking on the "Dequeue" button directly in the Activity Log.

  • You will see all "Dequeue From Destruction" activities listed in the Activity Log section:

1.b. REVERT DESTRUCTION

  • Did you destroy material by mistake and would like to undo the destruction event? No problem! You can now revert material that was sent to destruction.

  • Go to the "Destruction" page under the "History" tab. Click on the new "Revert Destruction" button and the material destroyed will be sent back to the destruction queue.

  • Confirming Revert Destruction and Dequeue
    For each activity, Dequeue or Revert Destruction you will need to provide a reason for the modification and collect the signatures.


More flexibility:

2. BACKDATE activities that have already been created

  • Did you log an activity on a different day then it was actually done? The date can now easily be adjusted!

  • In the Activity log tab click on the switch button to see the "backdate view". This is a more complete view than the default one. It will list not only the main activities performed on the batch or lot but also the related activities that happen automatically in the system.

  • Select the activity you want to backdate and make sure you also select all related activities that are automatically added by the system so that they can be backdated all together. For example, a "Split Batch" can be followed by a "Batch Plan Update" and an "Update Stage".

  • When you click on the "Backdate" button you will see a modal listing all selected activities and a date picker where you can select another previous date.

  • After confirming, the dates will be updated and the activities backdated will be tagged as "edited". The user who made the modification and the time of the modification will also be displayed:


Blend products in the way that suits your business

3. Merge lots with different end types

Creating blended products is now as simple as other functions in GrowerIQ! You can merge different end types at the lot level such as "g wet" or "g dry" with extracts, pure intermediates and edibles.

A new lot will then be created with the new mixed end type.

Transferring lot to a batch

You can also send the blended lot to a batch to perform additional activities on it. Just click on the "Send Lot to Batch" button and a new batch will be created with the material. It will have two stages: "Final Extraction" and "QA".

  • Merging batches with different end types is queued for the next release. For the time being, if you need to merge them, you can always send batches to a lot, merge them at the lot level, and then transfer them back to a new batch.


Harvest in stages:

4. MULTIPLE HARVESTING

Do you need to harvest a batch in multiple stages? How about harvesting first just the top of the plant? With the new multiple harvesting feature you will be able to log the harvest weight of each stage until you finalize your total harvest.

  • In the "Record Harvest Weight" modal, enter the number of plants to be reduced and the total harvest weight.

  • Single Harvest
    Enter the total number of plants to be reduced. If you harvested all plants at once (single harvest) you will stay in the same batch and the units will be converted to the entered harvest weight.

  • Multiple Harvesting
    If after the harvest, there are still plants remaining in the batch, enter the total number of plants to be reduced. The system will then let you know that a multiple harvest process has started.

  • You can harvest the source batch as many times as you need. For each harvest stage a new child batch will be created with the harvest weight entered so that you can process it separately.

  • Simplify your process: keep the same source batch ID
    In the next release ⌛, you will be able to merge back child batches with their source batch. In that way, even after a multiple harvest process you may keep only one source batch and keep the same batch ID.


🚀 More things we have improved

1. Quickly locate information: batch and lot names displayed in the destruction report

We know that seeing the Inventory names and types (Batch/ Mother/ Mother Batch/ Lot) can be useful information to you. That is why we have included them in the Destruction Reports header.

2. Avoid quantity errors by choosing "Kg" and "L" as units when receiving supplies

Avoid mistakes when inputting large numbers in the "Receive Supply" page. We have added two more units to it. Now you can choose between "g" or "Kg'' and "ml" or "L" units.

Go under the Administration/ Supply Type to set the units for each supply:

  • Make sure you set the right unit on the "Supply Type". In the "Receive Supply" page when you click on "Receive Supply" and select one thes unit you had set for it will be displayed.

3. Simplified end type names without units

End type names used to display the unit in front of their names like "g (wet)" or "un seeds". To make it easier to read and avoid confusion in case the unit is Kg instead of grams, we have removed the unit from the name. For example, "g (wet)" and "un seeds" will be displayed just as "Wet" and "Seeds". Don't worry, the units will still be visible on the batch and lot pages.

4. More samples: Send all remaining material from a batch or lot to the lab

  • For any inventory type that allows you to create samples (Batch/ Mother/ Mother Batch/ Lot), we have removed the restriction that was preventing you from sending the entire amount in either a single sample or as a set of multiple samples (to test multiple characteristics).

  • In this example we are creating a sample with the remaining 10g of wet material available in the batch. No error message will be displayed.

  • You can also use the remaining amount to create multiple samples:
