OMMPOS Blog - METRC

Hello Everyone,

We hope you're doing well. We wanted to let you know about an important issue with our software that you need to be aware of.

Here's What Happened: On January 3rd, 2024, we rolled out a big update aimed at improving how our system reports sales to METRC. Unfortunately, we ran into some problems. From January 10th to January 28th, 2024, our system mistakenly sent out the same sales information more than once to METRC for many of our users. This glitch caused some trouble with inventory records, making it seem like there was less stock than there actually was, leading to some numbers dropping into the negative.

We've Fixed It: Don't worry, we've tackled this issue head-on and have already fixed it in our system. To help you adjust any affected sales records, we've prepared a guide on using the "METRC Sale Day Reset" button. You can watch a helpful video about it below. And if you're still stuck or have any questions, give us a call at (971) 276 - 3371. We're here to help.

What Else Is New?

• Smarter METRC Sales Reporting: Now, when you update a sale in our software, the changes are automatically sent to METRC.
• Enhanced Debit/Credit Card Support: We've improved how we handle PIN debit transactions to make things smoother.
• Cash vs. Credit Report: Easily see your cash and credit sales totals at a glance.
• Quick Cash Recommendations: Our POS system now suggests cash amounts when you're wrapping up a sale, making it quicker to give change.
• Heads-Up on Pending Sales: A new alert will pop up in our software to remind you of sales that need to be reported to METRC.

Need a Hand? If you have any questions or need a bit of help, don't hesitate to reach out. Call us at (971) 276 - 3371.

Thanks for your ongoing support. We truly appreciate it and are here to make sure your experience with our software is as smooth and reliable as possible.

Warmest regards, The Marijuana Software Team

Beginning on December 19th we began to receive reports that the OMMPOS Metrc Sales Upload tool and the OMMPOS Metrc Sales Reconciliation tools were returning errors .

We confirmed that sales were being posted to METRC multiple times from the upload page. We posted a fix to this issue on 12/19/19, 12/20/19 and today 12/24/19.

We have tested both uploading sales to METRC and using the Metrc Sales Reconciliation tool's ability to correct discrepancies. Both tools now appear to be working correctly.

Both regular OMMPOS customers and Private Cloud customers have received the update. OMMPOS Backup Server customers should call to schedule updates.

Recommended actions for correcting any discrepancies

• Archive sales on the Upload Sales to METRC page
• Use the METRC Sales Reconciliation Tool to reconcile daily sales from 12/19/19 - 12/23/19
• Use the View Unmatched Sales button on this page to pair any remaining sales and then void outstanding METRC sales to fully reconcile METRC sales and inventory

Please call me with any questions on this process.

Thank you for your business,

OMMPOS customers who signed up in 2016, 2017 & 2018 may have paid too much tax.

ISSUE: When OMMPOS first began reporting sales numbers to METRC we reported GROSS sales values, this includes the tax.

The Oregon Department of Revenue may have taxed these stores on their GROSS receipts; in effect a double tax.

Use the new METRC Sales Reconciliation tool to check your OMMPOS and METRC sales figures and make sure they match. Learn more...

We have created a new report. The Metrc Sales Reconcilliation tool allows to you rapidly make changes to past Metrc sales receipts. Find the new report under Reports > METRC Sales Reconcilliation. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! Raja (971) 276 - 3371

We have increased system speed to prepare for 4/20.

The system is now faster to handle the increased 4/20 traffic.

Are you haveing trouble with the new labels. Please give us a call at the office. We can help most folks in minutes. 

The New Pre-Roll button DOES NOT work right now.

We received notice from METRC that a change that METRC made to its own system broke the ability of every POS system in Oregon to create new packages, including pre-rolls. We will update you as soon as this changes. Please see attached METRC notice below.

Please give us a call with any questions or concerns. We are on call for 4/20!

Thank you and Happy 420!
