Instructions

Step 1

Designate GSA and pay $480 CTS user fee

• Sign in to your online OMMOS account.
  • If you do not have an OMMOS account, you may create one at: https://ommpsystem.oregon.gov.

• Go to the GSA tab found at the top of the page.

• If no name appears in the “Name” column and the “Payment Needed” button is visible, this means a GSA has not yet been designated for the grow site.

• Click the “Payment Needed” button to begin the process to be designated as the GSA and pay the non-refundable $480 CTS user fee.

• Answer the questions and check the boxes acknowledging you understand and agree to the responsibilities of being a GSA.

• Click the “Pay Now” button to be directed to the payment screen.

• Enter your payment information as instructed. You will be emailed a receipt upon successful completion of the transaction. Please note: It may take up to 48 hours for your payment to process.

• After your payment is processed, sign back in to your online account to verify that your request to be designated as GSA was approved.

Step 2

Set up CTS account and use CTS for daily tracking

• Once a GSA has been approved, the CTS vendor (Metrc®) will send a credentialing email to the GSA. This email will contain your Metrc® username and a link to set up your account. Please note: The email address used to log into your OMMOS account will be the same email address used by Metrc® to contact you about setting up a CTS account.

• Click on the link in the email from the CTS vendor (Metrc®) to log into CTS and set up your CTS account password. For more detailed information on setting up a CTS account, review the CTS checklist (pdf).

• You will have 10 days from the date your CTS account is set up to:
• Order unique identification tags
• Enter all the onsite inventory at the grow site into CTS
  
• Begin using CTS daily
