Verifying Weight Per Unit & Product Setup

WARNING: EACH is only to be used for Non-Cannabis products. Setting Cannabis products to "EACH" will NOT track limits correctly.

WARNING: Non-concentrate does not trigger cannabis limits. Please do not use this type.

Product profiles must reflect correct weight per units and cannabis types to ensure limit calculations function properly and accurately.

Navigate to Inventory > All > Select Product (or click Add Product).

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: A customer is at checkout and the purchase limit warning isn't triggering — why?

A: The most common cause is a misconfigured Cannabis Type and/or Weight Per Unit on the product profile. Check the following:

  • Navigate to Inventory > All > Product and confirm the Cannabis Type matches the New York mapping shown in Global Settings > Limits and referenced in the screenshot above.
  • Navigate to Inventory > All > Product and confirm the Weight Per Unit is set correctly based on cannabis type using the examples above.
  • Confirm the product's Category is assigned a Category Type of Cannabis (not Non-Cannabis) in Retail > Inventory > Manage Categories.
  • Confirm Non-Concentrate is not selected as the Cannabis Type, as this type bypasses purchase limits.

Q: Limits seem off for a flower product — the system isn't counting the weight correctly.

A: Limit calculations prioritize product-level Weight Per Unit. If a product's Weight Per Unit is 0, EACH or left blank, Blaze will not track purchase limits correctly for this product.

  • Navigate to the product profile and ensure the product's Weight Per Unit is correctly configured (e.g., 3.5g for an eighth, Custom, Whole Gram Unit, Half Gram Unit) so the purchase limit calculation remains accurate.

Q: We sell a hybrid product that contributes to both a flower and an concentrate limit — only one type is being tracked.

A: BLAZE supports multi-limit tracking for individual products that cross categories.

  • Navigate to Inventory > All > Product.
  • Locate the Product Purchase Limits section to add multiple limit entries.
  • Assign each required entry its own distinct Cannabis Type, Value, and Unit of Measure (e.g., grams, mg).

Q: We've double-checked the Cannabis Type and Category setup — limits still aren't working.

A: If basic settings are correct, look into these variables:

  • Confirm the shop's location State is accurately saved as New York in Global Settings > Current Shop Settings.
  • Confirm Global Settings > Shop Information Settings pertaining to purchase limits for medical and adult use patients are configured correctly:  
    • User Cannabis Limit
    • Override Member Levels
    • Enable Recreational Age Limit
    • Recreational Use Age Limit
    • Enable Medicinal Age Limit
    • Medicinal Use Age Limit
  • If your store recently migrated configurations, some products may hold legacy values. Run a bulk update using the Mass Edit utility in Inventory > All to realign products simultaneously.
