Any vendor, wholesale customer, or lab that your organization works with is referred to in MJ Platform as a partner.

When you use the supply chain (Sales Order or Purchase Order) to track the movement of inventory, or when you add test results to a batch, you must select the partner involved to track the interaction.

You must first create a partner profile in order to track your interactions with them, and you must add at least one facility for the partner to select them for Purchase Orders or Sales Orders.

Note: In some jurisdictions, such as Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico, partners are automatically set based on your state integration.
