Leaf Data Systems will be implemented as Washington’s traceability system in less than a week. As we approach the transition, there are some important things to know:

• The best place to find information about the upcoming changes is at the Getting Started with Leaf Data Systems page on the LCB website. This page will continually be updated with the latest information.
• To begin using Leaf Data Systems, you will need to upload your current inventory into Leaf Data Systems. This is the only system you should use for traceability reporting activities after your upload is complete. You can learn how to upload your inventory at the Getting Started with Leaf Data Systems page, and will be able to complete this task after the system goes live. If you have a third party software provider, check to see if your inventory uploads will be completed for you.
• Weekly Contingency Reporting ends when Leaf Data Systems goes live at 12:01 a.m. February 1, 2018, however there will be a 15-day grace period where Contingency Manifest and Destruction reporting forms will be accepted as you shift to the new system.
• If you use a third party software system, you will need to provide them with an API key. API keys are used as identifying credentials necessary for system integration. More information and directions about initial access to Leaf Data Systems and API key retrieval will come Wednesday, January 31. Be sure to check your email and the LCB website for updates.
• Once Leaf Data Systems goes live, support will be available seven days a week, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. by calling 888-420-5813. You can also email Leaf Support at any time.
