Distro | How do I Convert a Package from Pounds to Grams Upon Intake?

When you intake a Metrc package into BLAZE, and the package in Metrc is in Pounds while the BLAZE product profile for this item is in grams, BLAZE will convert this for you.

First, you will need to manage your Weight Tolerances under settings to ensure the conversation is calculating correctly. Then you will receive the inventory in your Metrc account and intake to BLAZE.

Confirm the Conversion in BLAZE

In the example below, note the Metrc Quantity and Metrc Unit of Measure; this is the package detail from Metrc and will not be changed by converting in BLAZE.

The product you see here has a custom weight for the Product Unit of Measurement so we will need to check the product profile to find out exactly how much one unit weighs.

Select Products under the Inventory section of the menu and navigate to the product profile. Scroll down and you will find the Custom Weight Value.Annotation_2020-08-03_135135.png

Now you will select the Batches tab from the top right of the product profile to find the Available Quantity in BLAZE. Annotation_2020-08-03_135135.png

To check the accuracy of the conversion you will take the Default Value for Pounds and multiply this by the Metrc Quantity, 2 Pounds. This gets you 907.18 grams and when divided by 3.5, the Custom Weight Value, you will get 259.19. If your result matches the Avalible Quantity the conversion is correct.  

Note: The example above is assuming that the Default Value for Pounds has been set to 453.59 grams.
