New Jersey’s required transport record includes the receiving cannabis business staff member’s signature attesting to receipt. A strong digital workflow adds load context, timestamp, discrepancy handling, and completion state around that signature.
Make the receiver event part of the run
The driver should not leave the receiving event in a separate photo album, email, or paper folder. Acceptance belongs on the same transport timeline as arrival and delivery completion.
Flower Freight captures the signature on the driver’s mobile device so the receiver event is immediately associated with the run.
Handle clean deliveries and exceptions differently
A full acceptance can close the normal delivery path. A partial rejection or discrepancy needs more information: which packages, what reason, what happened to custody, and what follow-up is required.
The software should preserve that distinction instead of forcing every delivery into one “delivered” status.
Do not confuse physical acceptance with inventory-system acceptance
Metrc receiving and the physical handoff are related but distinct events. The physical delivery record can document who took possession and any discrepancies, while Metrc reflects the regulated transfer status.
Flower Freight is designed to reconcile those layers rather than collapse them into one ambiguous checkbox.
Completion should trigger downstream actions deliberately
Payment, reconciliation, notifications, and audit generation should happen at defined workflow boundaries—not merely because a driver arrived near the destination.
That prevents location events from being mistaken for accepted delivery.
Frequently asked questions
Is a receiver signature required in the New Jersey transport record?
Yes. N.J.A.C. 17:30-9.15(j) includes the receiving cannabis business staff member’s signature attesting to receipt.
Can the receiver reject part of a load?
Operational software should support documenting partial rejection or discrepancies so the historical record reflects the actual handoff.
Does arrival equal delivery completion?
No. Geofence arrival is useful evidence, but completion should depend on the delivery workflow, including receiver acceptance and any required final steps.
