Seed-to-Sale Tracking and Reconciliation

Michigan licensees report inventory activity in the statewide monitoring system. Treating it as an accounting subledger as well as a compliance obligation is what keeps the two records consistent.

What the System Records

Plant tags, package identifiers, transfers, adjustments, waste events, and sales form a continuous quantity record from propagation to final sale.

Reconciling to the Ledger

Compare package quantities to the inventory subledger, match manifests to receipts and shipments, and trace adjustments to authorization and to a corresponding ledger entry.

  • Quantity comparison at package level
  • Manifest-to-receipt matching
  • Adjustment authorization trail

Common Variance Causes

Timing differences, untagged repackaging, unrecorded samples, and manual adjustments made in one system only account for most differences operators encounter.

Cadence and Recordkeeping

Retail reconciles daily; production sites reconcile at defined milestones. Each reconciliation is retained with supporting detail so the history can be reviewed later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should hold adjustment permissions?
A limited set of designated staff, separate from whoever performs reconciliation.
What tolerance is reasonable?
Set a documented threshold appropriate to product form and license type, and investigate anything above it consistently.
Does the monitoring system replace inventory accounting?
No. It tracks quantities; the accounting records carry cost. Both are required.
