The Manufacturing tab is the most detailed section of the ODC report. It tracks the inputs and outputs of your extract manufacturing process, including a breakdown of cannabinoid content. This tab is required under the INCB 2021 mandate for cannabinoid reporting.
For an overview of all report sections, see ODC Overview.
📋 How the Tab is Organised
- 12 monthly sections (one per month through the quarter)
- Each month has 5 rows, one for each material type
- Annual summary section at the bottom
- All values in kilograms (kg)
Different Column Layout
The Manufacturing tab uses a different column layout than the Stock and Resin tabs. For example, column C here is Opening Stock, whereas column C on the Stock tabs is Grown Own Cultivation. Always check column headers when comparing across tabs.
🧪 The Five Material Types
Each month contains five rows, one for each material type:
| Material Type | What It Represents |
|---|---|
| Raw Starting Material | The cannabis or resin input used in manufacturing (flower, trim, resin, etc.) |
| Gross Weight Extract | The total weight of the extract produced, including all cannabinoids plus carrier solutions and solvents |
| Delta-9 THC Content | The mass of delta-9 THC within the extract (calculated from the extract weight and THC percentage) |
| Other THC Isomers | The mass of other THC variants (delta-6a, delta-7, delta-8, delta-10, etc.) within the extract |
| CBD Content | The mass of CBD within the extract |
Gross Weight vs Cannabinoid Rows
"Gross Weight Extract" is the entire solution weight, not just the active cannabinoid content. The cannabinoid rows (Delta-9 THC, Other THC Isomers, CBD) break down what is inside that gross weight.
Other THC Isomers is Always Zero
GrowerIQ does not currently track individual THC isomer percentages, so the Other THC Isomers row will always show zero. If your lab reports include other THC isomers, contact support to discuss tracking options.
Raw Starting Material Has No Opening or Closing Stock
Raw Starting Material does not have opening or closing stock values because raw materials (cannabis flower and resin) are tracked on the Cannabis Stock article and Cannabis Resin Stock article tabs until consumed. The Manufacturing tab only records when they enter the manufacturing process.
📝 Field Definitions
Each material type row contains the following columns:
| Field | Column | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Opening Stock | C | Material on hand at start of month |
| Cannabis Low THC Input | D | Low-THC (<=1%) cannabis flower used as manufacturing input. Should match "Used Own Manufacture" on the Cannabis Stock article <=1% THC tab. |
| Cannabis High THC Input | E | High-THC (>1%) cannabis flower used as manufacturing input. Should match "Used Own Manufacture" on the Cannabis Stock article >1% THC tab. |
| Cannabis Resin Input | F | Resin or pure intermediate used as manufacturing input. Should match "Used Own Manufacture" on the Cannabis Resin Stock article tab. |
| Extract Domestic Input | G | Extract received from an Australian supplier |
| Extract Imported Input | H | Extract received from outside Australia |
| Domestic Supply | I | Finished product supplied to Australian buyers |
| Export | J | Finished product shipped outside Australia |
| Testing/Analysis | K | Material sent for lab testing |
| Destroyed/Loss | L | Material formally destroyed, plus weight lost during extract refinement (e.g., if 100 kg crude extract becomes 80 kg distillate, the 20 kg difference appears here) |
| Closing Stock | M | Material on hand at end of month |
⚖️ The Balance Equation
For each material type, the monthly balance must satisfy:
Closing = Opening + Inputs - Outputs
Where:
- Inputs = Cannabis Low THC + Cannabis High THC + Cannabis Resin + Domestic Extract + Imported Extract
- Outputs = Domestic Supply + Export + Testing + Destroyed/Loss
If the balance does not hold, the Pre-Submission Review article tab will flag and classify the variance automatically.
🔬 Cannabinoid Calculations
How Cannabinoid Mass is Calculated
For the Delta-9 THC, Other THC Isomers, and CBD rows, GrowerIQ calculates the cannabinoid mass by multiplying the extract quantity by the cannabinoid percentage from your most recent lab test results. Keep your test results up to date for accurate reporting.
Example: If you have 10 kg of extract with 15% delta-9 THC, the Delta-9 THC row shows 1.5 kg.
❓ Common Questions
Why are the cannabinoid rows (THC, CBD) much smaller than Gross Weight Extract? Gross weight includes the full extract solution (cannabinoids plus carrier oils, solvents, etc.). The cannabinoid rows show only the active ingredient mass.
What if I don't have lab results for cannabinoid percentages? GrowerIQ uses the most recent recorded test results. If no results exist, the cannabinoid rows will show zero. Record your lab results to ensure accurate reporting.
What is the difference between "Raw Starting Material" inputs and the Stock/Resin tabs? The Cannabis Stock article and Cannabis Resin Stock article tabs track inventory of those materials. The Manufacturing tab tracks what happens when those materials enter the manufacturing process. The "Used Own Manufacture" field in Stock/Resin should match the corresponding input column here.
Why does Other THC Isomers always show zero? GrowerIQ does not currently track individual THC isomer percentages separately. If your lab results include these values, contact support to discuss future tracking options.
How do I verify the Manufacturing data is correct? Use the Pre-Submission Review article tab to check for balance variances, or generate a Breakdown Report article to see the individual activities that feed into each field.
