Dear cannabis industry members,

This is a follow up to the message we sent you on Aug. 19, 2025 about recent CCRS enhancements. The CCRS PREproduction environment is now live with the new Harvest.CSV and the updated Manifest.CSV. Updated resources can be found on the CCRS PREProduction page.

The purpose of the Harvest.CSV is to capture harvest event information related to plants and the Harvest Material lots they become. This helps with public safety and provides a data connection between plants and inventory. 

The Manifest.CSV now includes a column called “LabExternalIdentifier,” which is a requirement when sending products to retailers. The PREProduction User Guide has information on where to find this new ID on the COA (lab results) provided by the testing laboratory to a processor licensee. This new requirement ensures an appropriate COA is provided to the retailer.

The new Harvest.CSV and updated Manifest.CSV will be live in the PREProduction environment until Sept. 30, 2025, when it will go live in the CCRS Production environment and will be required.

From Sept. 30 - Oct. 31, 2025, the Enforcement and Education division will have an educational period for the new reports to assist the industry in completing the requirements. All other reporting requirements related to WAC 315-55-083(4) are still in effect.
