A single product may break down into several SKUs–or Stock Keeping Units–if the license holder offers the product in several options. For example, a dried cannabis product may be available in multiple sizes–5g, 10g, 20g, etc. Follow the steps below to create a new SKU.

Required permission(s): product_read, product_create, product_update

  • Basic Information

    • SKU Name: The SKU's internal name. This may be different than the SKU's retail name.

    • Market: Indicates whether the SKU is intended for the recreational, medical, or international market, or if it is market agnostic. This field is for internal use only and will not affect a SKU's availability. For example, if a SKU's market is set to Recreational, the SKU will still be available for purchase to medical clients in the Client Portal.

    • SKU Description (En.): A brief description of the SKU, in English.

    • SKU Description (FR.): A brief description of the SKU, in French.

  • Content
    Note: The fields in this section vary depending on the SKU's product subclass, and SKUs of the Other class–Plants, Seeds, and Accessories–will not have a Content section at all. If the SKU's Profile is missing necessary fields, visit the product's Edit tab to change the product's type.

    • Net Weight: The net weight, in grams, of cannabis in a single EA unit. When packaging units through a Packaging Run, the value in the Net Weight field determines each bottle's weight allowance.

    • Net Volume: The net volume, in milliliters, of cannabis in a single EA unit. When packaging units through a Packaging Run, the value in the Net Volume field determines each bottle's volume allowance.

      • This field will only appear if the product's type is Extracts, Topicals, or Edibles - Non-Solids.

    • Dried Gram Equivalent: Each EA unit's approximate equivalent to a dried gram product, in grams. This provides consumers with a single unit of measurement that they can use to compare different cannabis product potencies.

      • This field will only appear if the product's type is not Dried.

    • Shipment Weight: The weight per unit, including the weight of the bottle and packaging.

    • Discrete Unit per EA Unit: The number of discrete units in a single EA unit.

      • This field only appears if the product type is measured in discrete units. This applies to products like pre-rolls, capsules, and cookies–cannabis in a form that can be counted at the unit level.

    • Net Weight per Discrete Unit: The net weight, in grams, of a single discrete unit.

      • This field only appears if the product type is measured in discrete units.

    • Net Volume per Discrete Unit: The net volume, in milliliters, of a single discrete unit.

      • This field will only appear if the product's type is Extracts, Topicals, or Edibles - Non-Solids AND the product is measured in discrete units.

  • Pricing

    • Wholesale Price: The SKU's wholesale price.

      • This is a mandatory field, as this price is used to calculate closing inventory values on monthly reports.

    • MSRP: The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the SKU.

    • Min. Price: The SKU's lowest possible price.

    • Max. Price: The SKU's highest possible price.

  • Barcode Data

    • GTIN-14: The SKU's 14-digit Global Trade Item Number. This field must be unique; no two SKUs can have the same GTIN-14 number.

    • UPC: The SKU's 12-digit Universal Product Code. This field must be unique; no two SKUs can have the same UPC number.

      • Note: A SKU will usually require one of these numbers, but not both.

  • Integration

    • External Code: A mapping field to use when integrating with external systems.

If the SKU will be available for purchase on the Client Portal, visit the Client Sales Setup tab to Set Up the SKU for Client Sales. If the SKU will be available for wholesale purchases, visit the Cases tab to Create a Case SKU.

You can also Create Combo SKUs to group multiple SKUs into a single, saleable product.
