Materials on jobs
Link inventory items to jobs so the team knows what is ordered and on site.
Steps
- Open the job (drawer or full page) and check Quotes if you need to approve a variant.
- Open the Materials panel and click Add material (or use the prompt after accepting a job with no materials yet).
- If the approved quote name matches stock (for example material and thickness), use the Suggested from quote chips — they fill the catalog item and set source to in house.
- Choose In house to reserve stock or a free slab/remnant (picker shows size and photo when available), or Need for job when you still need to order.
- For need-order lines, click Raise PO to create a purchase order for a supplier. Sending the PO marks materials On order; receiving the PO brings them in house.
- When fabrication is done, Mark used. If a slab was allocated, you can create one or two leftover remnants (size + optional photo) in the same step, or skip leftovers and consume only.
- Material status also appears on kanban cards.
You can also add or photograph remnants later under Stock → Slabs.
