# Dashboard | Compliance Report Tips and Troubleshooting - Ontario Customers

## This document will assist you in the basic troubleshooting and understanding of your Ontario compliance reports.

Did you know that the AGCO has a learning module for compliance reporting?

### Dashboard Inventory Settings

It is highly recommended that you toggle on **Automatic restock for refunded cannabis products** in your dashboard Settings \> Inventory.

This will help resolve issues that cause a **In Related cells: one = "0" & other not "0"** error that will present itself when either a unit value or a wholesale dollar value is missing from the **Returns from Customers** columns of your monthly report.

### Landing Page

If you would like your **CRSA number(s)** and location name(s) to automatically populate on the **Landing Page** and the **Incoming and Outgoing Transfer** sheets of your reporting template, populate the **License ID** field that can be found under **Settings \> Locations \> Click into location \> License ID** in your BLAZE dashboard.

Ensure the format is correct - - **CRSA1212121**

Note that the location names which you see in this section of the dashboard will also appear in the **Incoming and Outgoing Transfer** sheets of your monthly compliance report only if interstore transfers have occurred in the reporting month.

These location names can be edited under **Settings \> Locations \> Click into location \> Location Name.** After making edits, be sure to click **Save** beneath the Phone Number field.

### Worksheet Dependencies

- Every pair of columns (vertical rows) in your **Federal** sheet correspond to the unit value and wholesale dollar value for each of the column headers.
- Cannabis products **CANNOT** be sold for $0.00. The minimum that the monthly reporting template will accept is $0.01 per unit.
- All **$CA** columns in the **Federal** sheet are calculated using the wholesale unit value of the product, *except* for the **Quantity Sold** columns which are calculated based on the retail price at the time of sale.
- Every column (vertical row) in the Federal sheet directly relates to another sheet in the reporting template, *except* for the **Returns from Customer** columns.
- If manual changes are made to any cell on the **Federal** sheet (other than the **Returns from Customer** columns**)** then an equal change would need to be made on the corresponding sheet.

    - For example;

          - A change of 1 to 2 is made to the amount of **Other Additions** on the **Federal** sheet for an individual SKU from. You would also need to adjust the total of all entries of that SKU in the **Inventory Adjustments** sheet to match the new **Other Additions** total in the **Federal** sheet.

### Inventory Adjustments Worksheet

- The **Inventory Adjustments** sheet has a column called **Balance Per Physical Count**. The value of the **Balance Per Physical Count** columncannot be a negative value.

### Destructions Worksheet

- Every column of the **Destructions** sheet needs to be filled in *except* for the **OCS Incident #** if there wasn't one.
- The **Method of Destruction** columns requires a moderately detailed description of how the product was destroyed.

### Troubleshooting

**My report isn't downloading and I keep 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 dashboard **Settings \> Locations \> Click into location \>** **Timezone** to see if all your locations are within the same time zone.
- Note that when a new location is created, BLAZE sets the timezone to PST by default.

**I received an error message that a product is missing a barcode or SKU.**

1. Locate the product(s) in question in your dashboard product list and populate the missing data and save.
2. Re-download your report and the missing data will be populated.

**Why am I seeing an error saying that the SKUs/UPCs are not found in other sheets of the reporting template?**

- BLAZE records the SKU and barcode for all products at the time of inventory movements. If a SKU or barcode was changed during a month, you may see issues between your **Federal** sheet and **Monthly Sales** sheets for example.
- To correct this you will want to edit all sheets containing the affected products in the reporting template to match the SKU and barcode that is on the **Federal** sheet.

**I have a product that has a $CA Value of zero, but there are units in the adjacent cell.**

1. The product likely did not have a wholesale cost assigned to it when the compliance report was generated.
2. Locate the product in your dashboard **Product List** and enter the wholesale unit cost.
3. Re-download your report and the missing data will be populated.

 **I have negative opening and/or closing values, how do I fix this?**

- All negative inventory values should be audited to zero before 11:59 pm on the last day of every month.

**What is the naming convention I need to use when I save my monthly compliance reporting file?**

- **CRSANumber\_CAN\_MMYY**

### Note:

- BLAZE always advises that stores to do a **FULL INVENTORY AUDIT** on all cannabis products during the last week of every month in order to ensure that their reported quantities are correct.
- For security and accountability purposes, BLAZE cannot modify historical inventory values in your dashboard. As a result, it will be up to your store to explain the negative value to the provincial regulator and modify the template file manually before submission.
