As part of the POS Data Reporting Platform, which automatically receives data for your required provincial and federal regulatory reporting from your POS system, you may receive data reconciliation error notifications.
This is in preparation for the new AGCO standards relating to regulatory reporting requirements, the Registrar’s Standards for Cannabis Retail Stores using the Point-of-Sale Data Reporting Platform, which come fully into effect for all cannabis operators and retailers on July 1, 2024.
These notifications show all data reconciliation errors that may require resolution for your store. We encourage you to review the data reconciliation errors you receive and make any necessary adjustments as soon as possible to help ensure the accuracy of your data.
If you have any questions about specific error messages, please reach out to your POS Provider. For questions about regulatory requirements, please refer to the standards at the location online indicated above or reach out to the AGCO at cannabisreporting@agco.ca. If you would like to update your primary contact for receiving data reconciliation error emails, please reach out to the OCS Customer Care Team by calling 1-877-627-1627 or contact us through chat.
