Session 2: Metrc NY Webinar

What Is the Metrc NY Summer Webinar: Processing Workflows, Simplified?

This free virtual session is on June 24, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET, part of the Metrc New York Summer Webinar Series. It's hosted online and open to any licensed New York cannabis operator, with a focus on processing operations, packaging, and production tracking inside Metrc.

Metrc runs the mandatory track-and-trace system for New York cannabis, and this session gets into the specific workflows processors use every day — from creating items and managing jobs to keeping records accurate throughout production.

Why Cannabis Operators Should Care

Processors deal with some of the most complex inventory movements in the cannabis supply chain. Converting inputs to finished goods, managing packaging runs, creating compliant item records — it's a lot of moving parts. A single workflow error can create discrepancies that compound across batches. This session is built to reduce that friction.

If you're a processor, manufacturer, or any operator running production workflows in Metrc, this is the session that's most directly about your daily operations. Not compliance in the abstract. Your actual job.

How to Get the Most Out of It

Come with Your Current Workflow Written Down

Before the session, write out how your team currently handles a processing job from start to finish. Having that in front of you makes it easy to spot where their best practices diverge from yours and what you should change.

Pay Close Attention to Item Creation

Item creation best practices are usually where operators run into downstream problems. A poorly structured item record causes issues at every step after. This section of the session is worth slowing down for.

Bring Your Production Manager

If you have a production or packaging manager, they should be on this call. The session covers packaging and production workflows directly, and it's more valuable for the person actually running those workflows than for someone who just reviews reports.

Revisit Your Records Right After

After the webinar, open a recent processing job in Metrc and walk through it using whatever you just learned. If something doesn't match, you'll find it fast. That's a much better use of the session than filing the notes away.
