How to Create a Mass Packaging Run

When creating a Packaging Run through the Gun App, Packaging Associates manually package units one by one and log the weight of each individual unit. Through a Mass Packaging Run, however, a Packaging Associate can package units all at once in a single action, and enter the total weight, volume, and discrete units across all units packaged in the run. This is ideal for licence holders who package units, especially oil products, using specialized machinery.

This process describes packaging bulk cannabis into bottles–or EA units. To package EA units into cases, visit a Case SKU's Casing Runs tab and Create a Casing Run.

  3. Open the Mass Packaging Run tab.

  4. In the Destination section, select a SKU for a new Packaging Run, or continue an existing Packaging Run.

    • If creating a new Packaging Run:

      1. In the Mass Packaging Run field, select Create New.

      2. Open the Product drop-down menu, and select a product. The drop-down will filter out products with subclasses that are not compatible with the Bulk Lot's type. For example, if the Bulk Lot's type is Extracts-Ingested and the lot uses discrete units, only products of the Extracts-Ingested (Discrete) type will appear in the drop-down.

      3. Open the SKU drop-down menu, and select a SKU.

    • If continuing an existing Packaging Run:

      1. In the Mass Packaging Run field, select open the drop-down menu and select a Packaging Run listed under the Open Runs heading.

  5. Populate all fields in the Quantity section to indicate the number of EA units and amount of cannabis to package.

    • Total EA Units: The total number of bottles–or EA Units–to package.

    • EA Unit Tare Weight: The bottle tare weight per unit.

    • EA Unit Net Weight: The total weight of cannabis packaged per EA unit, in grams. This value must be within the SKU's acceptable weight range. This range is based off the value entered in the Net Weight field in the SKU's Profile.

    • Total Weight Packaged: The total weight of all units packaged. This field auto-calculates by multiplying the value in the Qty. of EA Units field by the value in the EA Unit Net Weight field, unless the Packaging Associate checks the Set Quantity Totals toggle to enter a custom value. With this setting selected, you can enter a custom total weight packaged, which affects the value in the EA Unit Net Weight field by dividing the Total Weight Packaged by the Total EA Units.

    • EA Unit Net Volume: The total volume of cannabis packaged per EA unit in millilitres. This value must be within the SKU's acceptable volume range, which is based off the value entered in the Net Volume field in the SKU's Profile. This field only appears if the SKU is an Extracts, Topicals, or Edibles - Non Solids product.

    • Total Volume Packaged: The total volume of all units packaged. This field auto-calculates by multiplying the value in the Qty. of EA Units field by the value in the EA Unit Net Volume field, unless the Packaging Associate checks the Set Quantity Totals toggle to enter a custom value. With this setting selected, you can enter a custom total volume packaged, which affects the value in the EA Unit Net Volume field by dividing the Total Volume Packaged by the Total EA Units. This field only appears if the SKU is an Extracts, Topicals, or Edibles - Non Solids product.

    • EA Unit Net Discrete Units: The number of discrete units to package into a single EA unit. This quantity is set in the SKU's settings and cannot be updated. This field only appears if the Bulk Lot measures cannabis in discrete units.

    • Total Discrete Units Packaged: The total number of discrete units packaged across all units in the Mass Packaging Run. This field auto-calculates by multiplying the value in the Total EA Units field by the value in the EA Unit Net Discrete Units field.

  6. Select the Packaged On date in the field provided.

  7. Indicate whether or not the keep the Mass Packaging Run open upon creation. If the run is left open, an associate can resume the run at a later time to add more units.

  8. Click Proceed to Review. This opens a modal summarizing the Mass Packaging Run.

  9. Review the information. If everything is in order, click Confirm & Create to complete the Mass Packaging Run.

To make all EA units in the Packaging Run available for purchase on the Client Portal, visit SKU's Inventory tab in the Products module to Release the Packaging Run.
