Ontario Customers: One-click compliance report (Recommended)

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission (AGCO) requires all reports (Federal, Monthly Sales, Inventory Adjustments, etc.) to be documented within one template called the "AGCO Integrated Reporting Template".

BLAZE enables customers to download all the required compliance reports into the AGCO template with just one click. Each report will be generated into one template that can be submitted via the AGCO portal.

Note: Customers are still able to download individual reports. Both of these options are available when you reach Step 4 as shown below.

One-Click Report (Recommended)

BLAZE customers can click on the "Download Integrated Report" button in Step 4 (Reports > Compliance) to download one excel file with all the required reports into the AGCO template.

Note: Any data that is available and relevant will be generated. I.e. If you did not transfer products, the feature will not put information into the Inter-Store Transfer- Incoming or Inter-Store Transfer-Outgoing reports within the template.

When customers download the report, a progress status will appear. If you try to refresh/reload or close/leave the web browser, a warning will appear.

Individual Reports (Optional)

Note: Please read through this entire article prior to manually downloading the individual reports. For more information, go to Ontario Customers: Manually documenting the compliance report (Optional)

Customers also have the option to download and paste individual reports into the AGCO template. To download individual reports, click on the "Individual Reports" button in Step 4 (Reports > Compliance).

FAQs

My report isn't downloading and I kept getting a "Status Fail: Please select location(s) in one time zone at a time" error.

You can only select and report on locations if they are set to the same time zone.
Check your Settings > Locations to see if all your locations are within the same time zone.

Why am I seeing a discrepancy saying that the SKUs/UPCs are not found in other sheets?

Ensure your current federal report's SKUs/UPCs are up-to-date and match your previous month's federal report.
Did you change the product's SKU/UPC during the reporting month?

Why are some of my opening and closing inventory quantities not matching?

All SKUs on both must match exactly. (Check spacing and underscores)
All SKUs on last month’s report with closing inventory units appear in the new month (Check to see if you renamed the product's SKU during the reporting month)
