Audit the data trail
Confirm every batch, tag, and package has a traceable lineage in METRC and in Harvestry.
- Reconcile plant counts weekly
- Validate tag assignments before harvest
- Confirm manifests match outbound packages
Validate SOP coverage
Ensure your SOPs map to every METRC state action with ownership and review cadence.
Compliance tip
Assign an owner per workflow so exceptions do not stall reporting.
Pre-audit documentation
Maintain a ready-to-export compliance binder with logs, training history, and variance notes.
State requirements vary. Verify effective dates with your regulator before implementing changes.
