Session 4: Metrc NY Webinar

What Is the Metrc NY Summer Webinar: Everything Dispensary?

This free virtual session is on July 22, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET, part of the Metrc New York Summer Webinar Series. It's hosted online and designed specifically for dispensary operators, covering the day-to-day Metrc workflows that keep a retail cannabis operation running cleanly and compliantly.

Metrc is New York's state-required track-and-trace system, and this session goes deep on the retailer side of things — inventory management, receiving transfers, POS integrations, and audit prep.

Why Cannabis Operators Should Care

Dispensaries deal with more moving parts than most license types. You're syncing inventory with a POS system, accepting transfers from multiple vendors, managing discrepancies, and doing it all while serving customers and staying compliant. When any one of those pieces breaks down, it shows up fast.

This session is built around exactly those workflows. It's not general compliance advice — it's dispensary-specific, covering how to align inventory between your third-party POS and Metrc, how to return inventory to distributors correctly, and how to use Metrc's reporting tools to actually be ready when an auditor shows up.

How to Get the Most Out of It

Bring Your POS Questions

The session covers POS integration and inventory synchronization directly. If your system has ever gone out of sync with Metrc, write down exactly when and how it happened. That's your question for the session.

Have Your Store Manager and Compliance Lead Both Attend

This session covers both operational workflows (receiving, transfers) and compliance workflows (audits, discrepancies). Those are usually two different people's jobs at a dispensary. Get them both on the call.

Pay Attention to the Transfer Receiving Section

Transfer receiving errors are one of the most common sources of inventory discrepancies for dispensaries. The session covers best practices for accepting transfers and flagging variances. That's worth your full attention.

Run a Reporting Audit the Week After

Metrc has reporting tools that most dispensaries underuse. After this session, pull a compliance report for the last 30 days and see what it tells you. You'll have the context to actually read it correctly.
