We created a new tool to rapidly reconcile your METRC sales.

Hello Everyone,

We hope you're doing well. We wanted to let you know about an important issue with our software that you need to be aware of.

Here's What Happened: On January 3rd, 2024, we rolled out a big update aimed at improving how our system reports sales to METRC. Unfortunately, we ran into some problems. From January 10th to January 28th, 2024, our system mistakenly sent out the same sales information more than once to METRC for many of our users. This glitch caused some trouble with inventory records, making it seem like there was less stock than there actually was, leading to some numbers dropping into the negative.

We've Fixed It: Don't worry, we've tackled this issue head-on and have already fixed it in our system. To help you adjust any affected sales records, we've prepared a guide on using the "METRC Sale Day Reset" button. You can watch a helpful video about it below. And if you're still stuck or have any questions, give us a call at (971) 276 - 3371. We're here to help.

What Else Is New?

• Smarter METRC Sales Reporting: Now, when you update a sale in our software, the changes are automatically sent to METRC.
• Enhanced Debit/Credit Card Support: We've improved how we handle PIN debit transactions to make things smoother.
• Cash vs. Credit Report: Easily see your cash and credit sales totals at a glance.
• Quick Cash Recommendations: Our POS system now suggests cash amounts when you're wrapping up a sale, making it quicker to give change.
• Heads-Up on Pending Sales: A new alert will pop up in our software to remind you of sales that need to be reported to METRC.

Need a Hand? If you have any questions or need a bit of help, don't hesitate to reach out. Call us at (971) 276 - 3371.

Thanks for your ongoing support. We truly appreciate it and are here to make sure your experience with our software is as smooth and reliable as possible.

Warmest regards, The Marijuana Software Team

Important Update: Improved METRC Integration and Fixes in Marijuana Software

Date: January 3, 2024

We updated our METRC sales reporting system today. This makes it easier to match your Marijuana Software sales with METRC records. Now, when you change a sale that's already in METRC, the METRC receipt will update too.

Noticed Issues & Solutions:

1. Duplicate Sales: Some of you saw double sales in METRC. We've fixed this. To correct past sales, use the METRC Sales Reconciliation tool to check yesterday's sales.
2. Caregiver Sales Upload Issue: There was a problem uploading sales from caregivers. It's fixed now. To fix affected sales, go to the 'upload sales to METRC' page, click the order number, edit the sale, and hit 'Close Sale'. Then you can upload it to METRC.

If you have questions, call us at (971) 276 - 3371.

Thanks,
The Marijuana Software Team

A major update is scheduled for tomorrow Monday November 2nd

• Correction to HEMP & CBD Taxation. OMMPOS has been mistakenly including HEMP and CBD only items in tax reports. This may have resulted in an inflated tax report. This error has been corrected as of 10/1/2020. Quarterly returns filed before this date should be refiled. 
• Correction to the Caregiver Sales Limits. Our understanding of the new OLCC rules was not correct. We set OMMPOS up to limit patients and caregivers to a maximum combined 32 ounces per month. Based on updated OLCC guidance, we have updated this limit to 32oz per month for patients and an additional 32oz per month for caregivers. 
• New Farm Tools BETA available. Our first release of Metrc Farm Tools is publicly available. Manage your Metrc grow compliance directly from OMMPOS
• A recent Windows update has broken FireFox’s ability to print labels. To workaround this issue change your Firefox PDF options to download PDFs instead of opening them in Firefox.

We received reports of extreme system slowness this morning and afternoon. We traced the problem to our online ordering report notification system and have temporarily taken it offline. We will review the cause of the problem and bring the online order indicator back online once the issue has been fixed. In the meantime you can check for new online orders by going to members.ommpos.com/orders/onlineorders.

Thank you to everyone who gave us a heads-up about the issue. Please keep us informed of any additional system slowness. 

Raja (971) 276 - 3371

Over the past few months, the Metrc system has been experiencing sporadic system

performance issues in some states. We recognize that these issues in some cases have grown

more frequent, causing longer load times and error messages then optimal. We

have determined two primary causes behind these issues:

1) Increasingly frequent API calls by third-party integrators. In certain instances, misuse of

the API can cause a slowdown for other users, effectively clogging Metrc with

unnecessary data requests.

2) Large amount of active data in licensee accounts. Active sales receipt, package and

transfer data sets have grown quite large in some states. As these data sets become

larger, day to day functions can be impacted as the system has to work through large

portions of data that is no longer being used. In some cases, users have several years of

data contained in their respective accounts that is no longer being used, but is part of

their active data sets.

Starting July 20, Metrc will begin a series of system updates and production releases to enhance

our software and make the system faster and easier to use. See below for a summary and brief

timeline of these enhancements.

Production Release (7/20)

The upcoming production release is currently in our final testing stages and is primarily focused

on fixes. We release API Bulletin 69 that details the API impacts in the 7/20 release. If the

bulletin was missed by a vendor, please reach out to api-info@metrc.com.

System Maintenance (7/21)

Metrc will be conducting system maintenance in preparation for the upcoming rate limiting and

data optimization efforts. This required maintenance may impact system performance

between 8 to 11 AM CT in all Metrc instances. We encourage vendors to avoid any type of

synchronization/reconciliation jobs during that window. We do not expect Metrc to be 

Metrc API Bulletin unavailable during that window, and if you experience any issues, please reach out to apiinfo@metrc.com.

Rate Limiting (tentatively scheduled for the last week of July)

We will also be implementing an API best practice known as rate limiting later this month. Rate

limiting caps the number of API calls a third-party integrator can make in a given amount of

time to ensure all integrators are given an equal playing field and no single user or company

being able to overwhelm the system.

Data Optimization (tentatively scheduled for the first week of August)

We will begin moving historical data – data that is finalized or finished – to separate locations to

further optimize system performance. Once the optimization is complete, system users and

vendors will still be able to access that data within the UI and API. Users will still be able to unfinalize or un-finish data if necessary.

In order to maximize the benefits of data optimization, users are encouraged to finalize or finish

sales receipts and packages that are no longer active. Metrc has provided users the ability to

finalize sales, finish both packages and harvests. If you have any questions or need help with

this process, please reach out to api-info@metrc.com.

We will send additional communications about these enhancements and of any impacts they

may have on daily operations over the coming weeks.

If you have questions about this bulletin, please contact Metrc support at api-info@metrc.com.

Get notified instantly to your Star Micronics Printer whenever you receive an online order with our OMMPOS Wireless Printer Configuration.

Update: 7/9/2020 The METRC synch and upload issue has been restored by Metrc. If you continue to experience any issues uploading sales or refreshing packages please let us know. - Raja

We are receiving reports that METRC sales uploads and METRC package refreshing are not working properly. We are receiving reports of duplicate METRC uploads posts and errors when trying to refresh METRC packages. This appears to be due to an issue occurring with METRC. Please give your METRC support rep a call to report this issue. We will post more details as they become available. Please give me a call with any questions.
