Metrc Michigan
Since January 2026, the first wholesale transfer pays 24%
Distru checks every package as your team builds the order, so held, recalled or expired product stays off the truck. You ship without second-guessing, then sync to Metrc on your command.
Check, tag, label and ship 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 Michigan rules your team works under.
Hold and recall check before every transfer
Distru checks each package's Metrc status as the order is built. A held or recalled package stays off it.
Wholesale tax records on every transfer
Distru records category, weight and price on each wholesale transfer. Your tax figure comes from those records.
Expiration dates set before retail
The expiration date is on the package record and prints on the label. It's set before the package leaves you.
Destruction tracked from the day it's flagged
Product marked for destruction carries the date it was flagged. Your team sees the days left on the record.
Michigan 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.
Each package keeps its Metrc category
Each package keeps its Metrc category in Distru, so your wholesale records line up with how the state groups products.

Key Michigan rules, and how Distru handles them
A few of the Michigan rules operators ask us about most. For the full, current rules, see the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA).
| What Michigan requires | How Distru handles it | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| A Metrc check before every sale or transfer. No product on hold, recalled or ordered destroyed. | Each package's Metrc status shows on the order. A held or recalled package can't go on an outbound order. | cannabis compliance software |
| Every package carries its Metrc tag ID. | Packages come in from Metrc with their tag IDs. Each order line follows the tag it ships under. | Metrc integration |
| No sale or transfer after the printed expiration date. | The expiration date is on the package record and prints on the label. | cannabis labeling software |
| Product marked for destruction is destroyed within a set window. | Mark product for destruction in Distru and it counts down the days left, so nothing slips past the window. | cannabis inventory management software |
| A wholesale tax on the first wholesale sale or transfer, with records showing each product's category. | Distru captures category, weight and price on every transfer. The numbers for your wholesale tax return come in one report, not a spreadsheet you build. | cannabis accounting software |

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in Michigan?
Yes. Distru connects to your Michigan 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 Michigan processor?
Pick software that runs inventory, production, wholesale orders and tax records on the packages Metrc tracks. Distru does that for growers, processors and brands. POS tools are built for the sales counter. Ask how they handle affiliate transfers and wholesale tax records.
Why don't my invoices match my Metrc transfers?
Usually they're built in two places. Michigan treats the wholesale tax separately from Metrc, so the tax shows on your invoice and the transfer still goes to Metrc. Distru builds both from the same package, then you sync.
Can Distru handle more than one Michigan license?
Yes. Distru runs every license on the same set of books, so you see inventory, sales and margin across licenses in one account.
How long does a switch to Distru take?
Most teams go live in 3 to 4 weeks. Every account gets a dedicated customer success specialist, who connects Michigan 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 CRA for me?
No, by design. Distru sends data to Metrc only when you sync it, on your command. It doesn't file your wholesale tax return either. What the state and Treasury see stays your call.
