This is the first step in the harvesting workflow. When you harvest plants, MJ Platform generates a trackable batch number for the harvest, which is based on the date and strain.

Before you can complete this procedure, you must have the following prerequisites set up:

Harvesting Plants

  1. Open the App Drawer, expand the Plants menu and click Plants (Flowering). This displays all plants in the Flowering phase.

  2. Select the plants to be harvested in one of the following ways:

    1. To pick from the list, select the checkboxes in the list for the each plant you want to harvest, then click Harvest Plants.

      • You can use the Search bar to filter the list by entering any property of the plants you're looking for, such as strain or batch.

      • To search for all plants in a specific location, go to the Location Setup page on the Advanced Settings page, then click Print next to the location to get its unique ID. You can then paste the ID into the search bar.

    2. To scan the plants in, click Harvest Plants, then scan each plant. Press Enter on the keyboard when you're done. If your scanner is set to automatically insert a newline character, you might only be able to scan in one plant.

  3. Enter the information about the harvest in the fields provided:

    1. Enter the wet weights and quality ratings in the fields provided.

      • If you need to track these values per plant, select the Use Individual Values checkbox to display fields for each plant.

    2. If you want to add the plants to an existing harvest of the same strain, click the Select Harvest Batch drop-down menu and select the harvest. Otherwise, leave this field blank to have the system generate a new harvest batch number.

    3. Select the storage area and harvest date.

  4. Create the harvest batch to remove the plants from the Plant Listing page and add the harvest to the Harvests page:

    • Click Save And Print Label to create the harvest batch and display the Print screen.

    • Click Save to create the harvest batch. You can view the batch number after saving.

  5. If you have a state integrator, check the API log to make sure the plant harvest was successfully pushed. If a call failed, then the synchronization didn't work. Use the API log to investigate the reason.

    Puerto Rico: Multiple API calls to check

    Check the following API calls MJ Platform sends to Biotrack. You may need to view multiple pages of the API log to ensure every API call for this harvest was successful.
    If any of the API calls failed, contact support and reference the failed API calls.

    1. POST plant_harvest_schedule: This single call marks the all the plants in your harvest as ready for harvesting in Biotrack. If this is successful, the next call is triggered for each plant in the harvest.

    2. POST plant_harvest: Biotrack records harvests as plants moving from the "growing phase" to the "drying phase", but the entities are still tracked as plants, so MJ Platform sends this API call for each plant you are harvesting to put them into the drying phase in Biotrack.

    3. POST inventory_destroy_schedule: This destroys the amount of inventory in Biotrack equal to the amount marked as waste in MJ Platform. The total weight of the waste is distributed across each plant record in BioTrack.
