Cannabis Batch Flow & Traceability Flowchart Builder

Cannabis production team mapping batch flow and traceability process to support compliance tracking and operational transparency with Aldevra.

Aldevra | Track Every Step of Cannabis Edibles Production

This tool gives operators a structured template for mapping:

Ingredients
Cannabis-in / cannabis-out tracking points
Batch IDs and sub-lots
Testing checkpoints
Waste handling
Packaging & final distribution

You can use this to generate simple, advanced, or regulator-grade flowcharts.

2. Seed-to-Sale Tracking Points (Fill-In Checklist)

At each step below, mark:

Track Required?
Record in Metrc/BioTrack?
COA Needed?
QC Checkpoint?

4. Flowchart Decision Points (Common Regulatory Branches)

Include these optional branches in your batch flowcharts to reflect real-world compliance paths:

Potency Check Failure

Rework batch
- Dilute and retest
- Destroy with video documentation

Packaging Label Error

Reprint labels
Quarantine batch
Correct before release

COA Failure

Investigate root cause
Re-test if allowed by regulation
Destroy batch

Temperature Excursion

Document excursion
Notify QA
Evaluate product safety and disposition

‍

5. Traceability Data Capture Template

Operators can fill this in directly to support inspections, audits, and internal QA reviews.

(Leave the fields and structure exactly as you plan to present them—this section header simply establishes the correct hierarchy and formatting.)

Step	Required Data Fields	Verified By	Logged In	Timestamp	Notes
Raw cannabis intake	Weight, vendor, COA, batch #	______	Metrc	______	______
Infusion prep	Ingredient weights, potency input	______	Internal	______	______
Production	Time/temp, operator initials	______	Internal	______	______
Packaging	Lot #, date code, counts	______	Metrc / ERP	______	______
Storage	Location, quantity	______	Metrc	______	______
