Metrc New York
Your New York transfers, dispensary-ready
Stop having dispensary transfers bounce back. Distru checks the Retail Item ID, Finished Goods flag and passing test as your team builds the order.
Flag, label, test 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 New York rules your team works under.
Retail Item IDs on every dispensary unit
No one copies IDs by hand. Each unit's QR code comes off the package record in Distru, and your label template pulls it in.
Finished Goods before the distributor ships
The Finished Goods flag is never missing when a load goes out. Set it on the package in Distru, and it follows the package through repackaging.
The monthly inventory audit
Count by package in Distru and see where Metrc disagrees. You fix each gap before anything gets sent.
Retailer payment terms and the COD List
Stop extending credit to accounts that pay late. Distru tracks how long each invoice has gone unpaid since delivery and flags late accounts before the next order ships.
New York 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.
Manifests kept with the invoice
Produce any manifest whenever OCM asks. Distru builds it from the order and keeps it with the invoice.

Key New York rules, and how Distru handles them
A few of the New York rules operators ask us about most. For the full, current rules, see the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM).
| What New York requires | How Distru handles it | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Every unit a distributor transfers to a dispensary needs a Retail Item ID QR code. | No one copies IDs by hand. The QR code prints from the package record in Distru, and your label template pulls it in. | Metrc Retail ID |
| Each package needs a Finished Goods designation before it goes to a dispensary. | The flag is never missing when a load goes out. It sits on the package in Distru and follows it through repackaging. | Metrc integration |
| A unit needs a passing test status in Metrc before it transfers to retail. | Ship with confidence. Lab results attach to each batch, and Distru flags any batch that hasn't passed before it goes on an order. | COA management software |
| Licensees run a monthly inventory audit, plus a full audit every year. | Every audit starts from numbers that match. Distru counts by package against what Metrc holds and lists each gap to clear before you sync. | cannabis inventory management software |
| Each manifest lists both licensees, unique IDs, weights, departure and arrival times, and the vehicle, and stays on file for a set period. | Produce any manifest whenever OCM asks. Distru builds it from the order and keeps it on file with the invoice. | order fulfillment |
Rules change. For current requirements, see the OCM.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in New York?
Yes. Distru connects to your New York Metrc account and runs packages, Retail Item IDs and transfers. Each sync goes when you send it, on your command. Operators in 30+ states run Metrc through Distru.
What's the best Metrc software for a New York brand?
Distru is built for New York brands, distributors and processors. It handles Retail Item IDs, Finished Goods flags and wholesale invoices on Metrc's own records. When you compare options, ask each vendor how it handles wholesale terms.
Why won't Metrc take my transfer to a dispensary?
Usually a unit is missing a required step. Each package going to a dispensary needs the Finished Goods flag, a Retail Item ID and a passing test status. Distru checks the order for all of them before you sync, so the transfer goes through.
What happens when a dispensary pays late?
You report it. Retailers have a set deadline to pay once product arrives, and late accounts go on the COD List in Metrc. A listed retailer buys on cash terms until the bill is paid in full. Distru ages every invoice, so you see a late account before you ship again.
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 New York 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 OCM for me?
No. Distru sends nothing to Metrc until you press sync. Your team picks what goes and when. OCM sees what you approve. COD reports stay yours to file as well.
