Metrc Kentucky
Your Kentucky counts, matched to Metrc
Distru checks every count against Metrc as you go. Catch count gaps before they turn into a notice from the state, and keep batch and waste records in order without extra entry.
Tag, test, ship and log waste from one record
Distru is a cannabis ERP that runs inventory, production, live costing and Metrc sync in one place, with real cost of goods on every batch. Here's how it handles the Kentucky rules your team works under.
Start-up inventory, ready to sync
Record seeds, clones and plants in Distru as they arrive. The start-up count is ready to sync inside the window.
Inventory that matches Metrc at all times
Distru checks your counts against Metrc packages and lists the gaps. Clear them, then sync on your command.
Package tags with a 24-digit UID
Each package in Distru keeps its Metrc tag and UID. New packages link back to the source tag.
Two remediations under 915 KAR 1:110
Distru records each remediation attempt on the batch. The retest result attaches before it goes on an order.
Kentucky buyers order from your live menu
Publish branded wholesale menus that pull live stock straight from your inventory, with pricing set for each buyer. Buyers get COAs, order in a few clicks, and only see what's in stock.
Waste in Metrc and on a separate log
Distru records waste weight, method and the two witnesses. The record matches your Metrc entry and your paper waste log.

Key Kentucky rules, and how Distru handles them
A few of the Kentucky rules operators ask us about most. For the full, current rules, see the Kentucky Office of Medical Cannabis (OMC).
| What Kentucky requires | How Distru handles it | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Start-up inventory goes into the seed-to-sale system within 14 calendar days of OMC approval. New inventory gets 7. 915 KAR 1:020 §4 | Seeds, clones and plants are recorded as they arrive. The count is ready to sync inside the window. | cannabis cultivation software |
| Inventory recorded in Metrc stays accurate at all times. 915 KAR 1:040 §4(3) | Counts are checked against Metrc packages. Gaps show up in a list you clear before you sync. | cannabis inventory management software |
| An inventory discrepancy, theft or loss goes to OMC within 24 hours of discovery. 915 KAR 1:020 §5(2) | The gap shows up on the package record, with the dates you need for the notice. | cannabis compliance software |
| A failed batch can be remediated twice. Fail the retest after that and it's destroyed as waste. 915 KAR 1:110 §5(10) | Each remediation attempt and its method are recorded on the batch. The count is visible before the next sync. | cannabis manufacturing software |
| Certificates of analysis are documented in the state's seed-to-sale system. 915 KAR 1:110 §6(7) | The COA attaches to the batch with its date. A batch without a passing result can't go on an order. | COA management software |
| Every transport carries a Metrc manifest and goes only to another licensed business. 915 KAR 1:080 §1(1) | The manifest builds from the order. Changes happen on the same record before the truck leaves. | order fulfillment |
| Hard edibles carry the state symbol, scored into servings of 10 mg THC or less. Technical Advisory 2026-013 | Serving size and THC per serving stay on the product record. Labels pull from the same record. | cannabis labeling software |
| Waste is recorded in Metrc and on a separate log, with two employees on video. 915 KAR 1:040 §13 | Weight, method and the two witnesses go on one waste record. It matches what you enter in Metrc. | Metrc integration |
| A way to reach 26 open dispensaries across all 11 licensing regions. | Your live inventory becomes a menu buyers order from. An accepted order lands with the price already on it. | cannabis wholesale marketplace |
Rules change. For current requirements, see the OMC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in Kentucky?
Yes. Distru connects to your Kentucky Metrc account. Packages, transfers and manifests sync to Metrc when your team sends them. Operators in 30+ states run Metrc through Distru.
What's the best Metrc software for a Kentucky processor?
Pick software that runs inventory, batches, testing and wholesale orders on the records Metrc tracks. Kentucky listed 16 cultivators and 10 processors on 14 October 2026. That's who Distru is built for. Dispensary POS tools are built for the sales counter.
What if my Kentucky Metrc count doesn't match?
Report it. An inventory discrepancy is a notifiable event under 915 KAR 1:020. Notice is due within 24 hours of discovery. OMC can follow up with a Notice of Corrective Action. Distru shows the gap between your count and Metrc, so you find it first.
Does each piece of a multi-serving gummy need the stamp?
No. Technical Advisory 2026-013, issued 18 August 2026, wants the symbol stamped across each multi-serving hard edible. Score it so a cardholder can break off one 10 mg serving. Distru keeps serving size and THC per serving on the product record.
How long does it take to switch to Distru?
Most teams go live in 3 to 4 weeks. Every account gets a dedicated customer success specialist, who connects Kentucky Metrc and loads your packages with you. After launch, your questions go to that person, not a manual or a ticket queue.
Does Distru report to the Office of Medical Cannabis?
No, and that's on purpose. Distru syncs to Metrc only when you send it. Notifiable events still go to OMC by email or the licensing portal. Your team decides what the state sees.
