Some individuals/businesses have encountered an unforeseen struggle while attempting
to cut over their current plants and current inventory into the new Leaf traceability system.
Licensees have raised concern about products not being physically labeled with the new Leaf
ID numbers.
You don't need to relabel your entire physical inventory. When product is electronically entered into the Leaf system, it will have the old
contingency number, or possibly even the legacy system identification number physically on
it. We do not expect licensees to relabel all of their product/plants
with new numbers. Instead, it expected that new numbers are physically attached as soon as actions such as conversions, harvest, or lotting are made.
Licensees may transfer and receive product
with the contingency or historic numbers still physically attached to the
product. For example, retailers do not need to
physically relabel their inventory, and processors sending packaged end product to retailers do not need to physically relabel
all their product prior to sending it.
It is expected that the historic IDs are linked to the new
Leaf IDs by the third party software system or licensee entering the Contingency ID or Old Traceability ID into the “Contingency / Old Traceability” field into Leaf Data Systems when inventory is uploaded.
Because
this only applies to product that is being uploaded as initial Leaf inventory,
this exception will only apply to those items that existed prior to implementation of Leaf Data Systems.
