Material Order

Note: Material Orders must be enabled through settings.

    • Any additional line items will need to be manually entered. Changes made to the newly created Material Order will not automatically update the Work Order from which it was converted, and changes made to the original Work Order will not automatically update your Material Order.
  • Make sure to hit Save material order before exiting. The number of the Work Order that was converted will appear at the top of the new Material Order.
