Difference Between Assemblies and Split Packages

  • Split package feature can do what assemblies do, except

    • you can have more than one output

    • and you cannot have more than one input unlike assemblies.

  • When packaging flower or manufacturing goods, we recommend using assemblies.

  • Assemblies allow you to select the unit type of the output package (as long as it is in the same unit type family), whereas the split packages feature doesn't.


How to Split Packages

  • Find the package that needs to be split

  • Select the three dots on the left and choose 'Split Package'

    • the three dots next to the package show up in various places throughout the app, including the Inventory > Packages menu


Splitting Packages in BioTrack

  • Users must decide whether they want to:

    • SPLIT the package quantity into smaller packages of the same product

    • CONVERT the package to packages of other BioTrack inventory types

  • BioTrack does not allow specific package types to be split and/or converted into other packages

    • While Distru presents these known limitations when applicable, some split package creations in Distru may still fail to sync to BioTrack due to updates to BioTrack regulations

    • We recommend reaching out to your BioTrack compliance team to confirm any questions regarding what package types may and may not be split

  • Fields available on the CONVERT (right) option that are not present on the SPLIT (left) option may include:

    • Waste quantity

    • Waste unit

    • Toggle to mark the output packages as production batches (may require retesting output packages)

  1. Fill in the details under 'New Package Template' as well as any Additional Costs

  2. Make sure to select the correct corresponding BioTrack product

  3. Choose the Number of new packages to create and the quantity for each package being split off

  4. Click 'Submit'


Splitting Packages in Metrc

  • On the next window, we can split the parent into multiple packages of equal quantity or create one new package from the parent with a specific quantity

  1. Fill in the details under 'New Package Template'

  2. Make sure to select the correct corresponding Metrc Item

  3. Choose the Number of new packages  to create and the quantity for each package being split off

  4. Next you have to apply an unused Metrc Package Tag for each new package you want to create (please make sure your package tags are uploaded prior to doing this)

  5. Click 'Submit'
