Metrc tag (package label)
The unique identifier Metrc assigns to a package; printed as an RFID/barcode label. Every ledger event in BudAlly is keyed by license and tag.
Why it matters for reconciliation: the tag is the key every comparison hangs on. A physical count is a scan of tags, a sales receipt lists the tags sold, and a manifest lists the tags moved. When two systems disagree about a package, the tag is how you find every record that touched it.
Example: an invoice arrives carrying a tag that is not on the manifest. The right response is to hold that line and ask the sender for a corrected invoice, not to edit the tag. Because the tag identifies one physical package, a wrong tag is a wrong document, and only the sender can correct it.
