Retail | Accepting Transfers in Metrc and Receiving Inventory
Before you can intake your product into BLAZE, you will need to accept the transfer manifest in your Metrc account. State compliance dictates that you need to accept incoming transfers within 7 days. This guide explains the process for accepting the incoming manifest in Metrc, preparing to go live in Metrc, assigning the products to a BLAZE batch, and reconciling any inventory that may have been sold prior to accepting the transfer.
Prerequisites
-
App: BLAZE Web Dashboard
-
Requirement: Metrc Account Access

Assigning Transfers to a BLAZE Batch
Reconciling Previously Sold Products
-
Receiving Inventory in Metrc
To begin the intake process, you must first accept the transfer manifest directly within your Metrc account.
-
Log into Metrc using your email and password.
-
Select Transfers from the black ribbon at the top of the page.
-
Click the Incoming tab to display all incoming transfers.
-
Click on the transfer you want to intake to select it, and then click Receive.
-
Review the incoming transfer manifest for accuracy. Confirm that the package tag, Metrc item, quantity received, unit of measure, and the Metrc category are correct.
-
If you do not want to accept one of the packages, click the Reject checkbox for that specific package.
-
Once all SKUs are verified, click the Receive Transfer button at the bottom of the window. This package will now move to the available packages section within Metrc and will be available within BLAZE to be checked in.
NOTE: Non-cannabis products (like lighters, hoodies, accessories, etc.) do not need to be listed on the transfer nor the manifest.
NOTE: If you are utilizing Metrc training videos, please keep in mind they may not be specific to California and may include features only available in other states. The general flow will be the same, but expect to see different transfer types or workflows not necessarily compliant in CA.

Assigning Transfers to a BLAZE Batch
Once the transfer is successfully accepted in Metrc, the items need to be assigned to a BLAZE Batch. You can complete this using one of the following three methods:
-
-
Through the Compliance Transfers intake process.
-
During the Receive Shipment phase of a Purchase Order (PO).
-
By manually assigning the UID/Metrc Label within each specific Product Batch page.
-
-
Reconciling Previously Sold Products
If you have already sold products associated with a specific UID/batch prior to accepting the Incoming Transfer into Metrc, you will need to reconcile the difference.
-
Receive and reconcile the package within Metrc to match the current total of the batch in BLAZE.
-
When you perform the package adjustment within Metrc, you will be prompted to provide a reason code for the adjustment. It is recommended to use "Metrc transition period" as the reason.
-
Once the manual adjustments on those packages are complete, your BLAZE inventory and Metrc inventory will match.
-
Repeat this process until all packages are caught up and accurate.
-
As a final step, navigate to the specific batch profile in BLAZE and click the Get Quantity button to refresh and sync the quantity in BLAZE.
