The Florida MMTC Inventory Lifecycle, Seed to Dispensation

OMMU's required-data document is the clearest public description of Florida's state-visible inventory object model. It defines the chain of objects an MMTC's internal system must report, and knowing that chain is what lets you answer the two questions every reconciliation depends on: where did this package come from, and where can it break?

The chain

A Florida package has a lineage. Each object is created from the one before it, and the traceability holds only if those links are clean:

seed / clone batch
  > individual plant
    > harvest batch  (wet weight + harvest waste > cure / dry)
      > inventory lot
        > processing / conversion  (inputs + ingredients > output + loss)
          > final product inventory
            > lab sample / release status
              > internal transfer to retail or delivery
                > dispensation / void / refund
                  > destruction or other adjustment

Reconciling by lineage means each object should trace cleanly to its parent: a lot to its source harvest batch, a final product to its lot, a dispensation to the package physically decremented. When a count is off, the lineage is usually where the break is hiding.

The reporting clock

Florida does not treat all events with the same urgency. The internal STS must provide required information within 12 hours unless otherwise stated, while certain events, notably dispensations and facility-to-facility transfers, are required in real time. The state also requires location and room-level data, including whether an inventory room is a quarantine room. Room data and timing are part of the record, not metadata you can backfill later.

Where each object tends to break

Object	Common break	Safe first move
Seed / clone batch	Batch not linked cleanly to plant creation	Reconcile batch count to the plant-creation log before plants are promoted
Individual plant	Plants created late or room moves not posted	Reconcile the plant roster to room-move records and the harvest schedule
Harvest batch	Wet weight, dry weight, and waste do not reconcile	Rebuild the harvest math from plant list, wet weight, waste, and cured output
Inventory lot	Lot cannot be matched to source harvest, or was split wrong	Reconcile the root lot against sublot history and source harvest
Processed inventory	Inputs do not equal outputs plus loss; wrong UOM	Reconcile input, output, waste, and ingredients; fix category or UOM before further movement
Final product	Wrong product type, route mapping, or immutable expiry	Freeze the package, confirm product setup, correct via the approved path before sale
Transfer	Sending side posted but receiving side still pending	Match manifest ID, sent, received, and rejected quantities before opening for sale
Dispensation	Wrong route, patient, or package; failed sync	Decide void / refund / reroute first, then verify both inventory and MMUR outcome
Waste / disposal	Product destroyed before the state schedule	Schedule destruction first, wait the required interval, then perform and archive support

Product setup is compliance setup

The retail product master is where lifecycle control meets MMUR control. For usable products and delivery devices, OMMU's unique product ID guidance asks the MMTC to identify a fixed set of fields, including:

Product Type, Route of Administration, and whether it is a Marijuana Delivery Device
Product Name, Product Brand, and Unique Product ID
THC Weight, CBD Weight, Product Weight, and Product Formulation
Cultivar or Strain, Flavor, Approval Date, and the Reference Number from the approval letter

If the catalog master cannot export these fields cleanly, reconciliation is weak before it starts, because there is nothing reliable to compare a dispensation's route and THC weight against.

Inventory is a lineage

Treat inventory as a lineage, not a pile of quantities. Each object should trace to its parent, the reporting clock and room data are part of the record, and the product master has to carry the route and THC fields the MMUR depends on. Get the lifecycle model right and the discrepancy work later becomes a question of which link broke, not a mystery.
