Retail | Adding a Metrc Label in a PO When Receiving Inventory with a Metrc-Compliant Vendor

This guide explains how to add Metrc labels to your products while receiving a shipment, ensuring your compliance and inventory data remain accurate from the moment product hits your shelves.

  • How to Add Metrc Labels During PO Intake

To set package labels during the Purchase Order process, you must first progress the PO into the receiving phase.

  1. Navigate to Inventory > Purchase Orders and select your active Purchase Order.
  2. Advance the PO to the Receive Shipment stage (this occurs after the PO has been submitted and the physical inventory has arrived at your facility).
  3. Once on the Receive Shipment form, verify and enter the actually received quantities for each product.
  4. Click Approve on each row of the sheet to confirm the line items.

  8. Click Save to lock in the batch details.
  9. Once everything is verified and all batches are saved, click Complete at the bottom of the form.

NOTE: Understanding Batch SKUs vs. Metrc Labels > The Batch SKU is a unique internal identifier automatically generated by BLAZE for your barcode labels. If you prefer your internal BLAZE barcodes to match the state compliance tag exactly, simply copy the Metrc tracking label and paste it directly into the Batch SKU field to overwrite the default BLAZE sequence.

Batch Field Description
Sell By Date The vendor-provided sell-by date.
Harvest Date The date the raw material was harvested (critical for flower products).
Expiration Date The date the product expires.
Quantity The physical count of units entering this specific batch.

The Purchase Order is now complete! Metrc batches with the appropriate tracking labels have been successfully created for the received products.
