Inventory Operations
Damaged product should move through a documented exception path so the physical item, system record, and authorized disposition stay connected.
Follow the site's safety and quarantine procedure. Record product and package identifiers, observed quantity, location, time, condition, and the person who found it. The dispensary product quarantine log can provide the operational handoff structure. Keep vendor follow-up with the receiving exception log.
Attach permitted photos or source records without altering the original evidence. Distinguish what was observed from the suspected cause. Do not promise a credit, replacement, or disposal outcome before approval.
Assign the authorized reviewer and record the options considered, decision, date, and required system update. Escalate safety, recall, or regulatory questions to the designated owner.
After the decision, compare the physical status, inventory system, quarantine record, and any vendor communication. The FDA cannabis resources are an authoritative starting point for product safety context.
Look for patterns by receiving point, storage area, vendor, or handling step. Use the pattern to inspect the process, not to assign blame without evidence.
