The purpose of OG Kush–Ample Organics' second major release of 2019–is to introduce new initiatives to bridge gaps in Cannabis Act compliance and reporting, as well as implement improvements to customer support and the user experience. This release guide summarizes the changes introduced by OG Kush, which fall into several categories:

OG Kush introduces changes to several retail-related features, including client registration, discounts, and shipping settings.

Ample Organics has added a new registration status: Transferred. This registration status tracks medical client registrations transferred to another licensed cannabis producer.

Ample Organics has also updated the functionality of client refusals. To place a client in the Refused registration status, a Customer Service Representative must select the reason for refusal from one of four options:

Additionally, the Clients index now includes an "Approved" dashboard metric to track the number of clients with an approved, active registration in a licensed producer's Ample Organics environment. The "Active Scripts" dashboard metric has been adjusted to only track clients that have active prescriptions in the system.
​
​

When Creating a Manual Discount, a user can now indicate whether to apply the discount before or after taxes.

Ample Organics has removed the Settings tab from the Shipping module. Instead, shipping customization is now controlled by a menu of configuration options. This allows Ample Organics' customer support team to quickly and independently update a licensed producer's shipping options.

To configure shipping options, contact customer support.

OG Kush also introduces small updates to product & processing-related features, including product strains, Bulk Lot harvests, and select reports. These updates mostly pertain to an improved user experience and convenient navigation between modules.

The Products index includes a new Product Strains column. This allows users to sort the index by product strain.
​
​

The Harvests tab in the Bulk Lot Profile now includes links to each harvest associated with the Bulk Lot. This allows users to quickly navigate between the Productions and Grow modules for improved traceability.
​
​

The Overview tab on the Batch Profile now includes the batch's strain.
​
​

When Creating or Editing a Shipment through the Wholesale Application, a user can now pick specific Case IDs to fulfill the sales order. Previously, creating a shipment would automatically select Case ID numbers sequentially. This allows a licensed producer more control over which Case IDs are shipped out to vendors.

Additionally, Ample Organics has added functionality to prevent shipment errors:

The Forensics tab in the Bulk Lot Profile has been adjusted to have a two-tab structure: Packaging Runs: EA Units and Packaging Runs: CS Units.

OG Kush introduces updates to the monthly reporting templates, along with a handful of new reports.

Ample Organics has added a new Monthly Reports tab in the Reports module to house all monthly reporting templates, including the CTLS Report, Healthcare Practitioners Report, CRA Report, and legacy Health Canada reports–the ACMPR Report and MMPR Report. Previously, the Reports module had a distinct tab for each monthly reporting template.
​
​

Along with the new Monthly Reports tab comes the addition of a new monthly report: The Weight Events Report. The Weight Events Report allows the user to verify all weight events across all Bulk Lots within a month, which allows them to reconcile inventory and verify other monthly reporting templates.

To Generate a Monthly Weight Events Report, select a reporting month and click Download.

Ample Organics has added a new User Admin report, which allows Ample Organics administrators and managers to track changes to their users' accounts. The report tracks each user's name, username, email, security roles, and the time/date at which the user's account was last updated, disabled, or enabled. The report also tracks the last time each user's password was changed. This report is only accessible to users with the new report_user_admin_read permission.

Administrators and managers can Generate a User Admin Report from the User Management tab in the Settings module.

Ample Organics has also added two new custom reports:

Ample Organics has removed the Statistics Canada report. As Ample Organics does not track the pricing of unfinished goods, we determined that this report is outside of the scope of the software's purpose. However, Ample Organics has expanded the functionality of both the CRA and CTLS reports.

Ample Organics has expanded the functionality of the CRA Report so that the report now pulls a wider net of data to auto-populate more cells each reporting period. Visit the CRA Report Data Breakdown for a complete list of cells that currently auto-populate. The report has also been adjusted to generate all values in weight and volume fields to an accuracy of four decimal places. As these reports can be submitted with values to a maximum of three decimal places, users will have to manually review the report each month and adjust the values before submitting the report. This allows for maximum accuracy.

Furthermore, Ample Organics has updated the functionality of lab reports, cannabis forms, and destruction substance types to support CRA reporting requirements.

When Creating a Lab Report, a user must now indicate whether or not the sample has been sent for testing, and the date on which the sample was sent. This contributes to accurate monthly reporting to the CRA, which tracks the total weight and volume of cannabis sent for lab testing.
​
​

Note: When a licensed producer receives the update that includes these new lab report fields, all existing lab reports in their Ample Organics environment will have their Sample Sent field set to blank. If a user updates this field to "Yes", the lab report will remove the weight a second time, which may result in inaccurate reporting.

Users should ignore the Sample Sent field for existing lab reports and only use this function for new lab reports as they're created. If a user accidentally updates the Sample Sent field for an existing lab report, they can reconcile the weight change in the Bulk Lot's Weight Events tab.

When Creating a New Cannabis Form, a user must now select a category to classify the cannabis form as Flowering, Non-Flowering, or Untracked. This contributes to accurate monthly reporting to the CRA, which delineates between Flowering and Non-Flowering material.
​
​Note: When OG Kush goes live in the production environment any existing cannabis forms will be categorized as Untracked by default, so visit the Cannabis Forms sub-tab to reclassify each cannabis form as necessary.

Additionally, the term "Cannabis Form" is now consistent across Ample Organics. Until recently, the terms "Cannabis Form" and "Bulk Lot Form" were used interchangeably. As part of this update, the Bulk Lot Forms sub-tab in the Production Settings tab is now called the Cannabis Forms sub-tab.

When Creating a New Destruction Substance Type, a user must now select a category to classify the destroyed substance as Flowering, Non-Flowering, or Untracked. This contributes to accurate monthly reporting to the CRA, which delineates between Flowering and Non-Flowering material.

Note: When Any existing destruction substance types will be categorized as Untracked by default, so visit the Destruction Substance Types sub-tab in the Destruction Settings tab to reclassify each substance type as necessary.

Ample Organics has expanded the functionality of the CTLS Report so that the report now pulls a wider net of data to auto-populate more columns each reporting period. Visit our article on the CTLS Report Data Breakdown for a complete list of columns that currently auto-populate. The report has also been adjusted to generate all values in weight and volume fields to an accuracy of four decimal places. As these reports can be submitted with values to a maximum of three decimal places, users will have to manually review the report each month and adjust the values before submitting the report. This allows for maximum accuracy.
