What is package genealogy?

Package genealogy is the traceable relationship between source details, harvest or material records, created packages, status changes, and downstream movement.

Why does it matter?

Genealogy helps operators investigate exceptions, protect inventory accuracy, support audit review, and keep downstream teams working from trusted records.

Is package tracking a standalone module?

Package tracking can be evaluated as a focused module or as part of cannabis inventory, WMS, and seed-to-sale ERP workflows.

Workflow

Package tracking starts before movement

Package records should include source details, item identity, quantity, facility, location, status, owner, and review history before the package moves into WMS, retail, transfer, or wholesale workflows.

  • Link packages to harvest, batch, or source material details where applicable.
  • Keep QA, COA, hold, quarantine, and release status visible.
  • Track user, role, time, reason, and facility details for sensitive changes.

Workflow

Genealogy supports investigation

When teams need to explain a variance, hold, return, transfer issue, stale availability question, or product quality question, package genealogy helps them follow the record instead of searching scattered notes.

Workflow

Package records connect to WMS and retail

Package status should travel with the workflow into receiving, putaway, cycle counts, pick/pack/ship, transfer staging, retail availability, wholesale account details, and closeout review.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is the difference between package tracking and inventory counts?

Inventory counts show quantity. Package tracking also preserves package identity, source details, status, movement history, and operational review details.

Does package genealogy replace compliance review?

No. Package genealogy supports audit-friendly operations and readiness review. Operators still need regulator and compliance advisor guidance.

Can package tracking connect to WMS?

Yes. Package tracking should connect directly to WMS receiving, putaway, counts, fulfillment, holds, returns, and transfers.
