How the material list works

The material list exists on three levels, all connected from the bottom up.

The task list holds what one specific job needs. It is maintained by the worker or the manager.

The stage list is assembled automatically from every task in the stage. Nobody builds it by hand — it appears as soon as items appear in the tasks.

The project gives the overall picture for the object.

Four sections

An item passes through them as it travels from the merchant to the wall:

Purchase — what still needs buying.
Delivery — bought, but not yet accepted at the warehouse or on site.
Warehouse — accepted into storage.
Site — delivered to the object.

Inside each section, items are grouped by stage into expandable lists. A collapsed item shows its name and quantity; tapping it opens the full card.

Why Delivery is the section that matters

It is effectively a goods receipt sheet. More material is lost between the merchant and the site than anywhere else, and Delivery is where that loss becomes visible.

An item sitting in Delivery for a week is either a receipt nobody recorded or material nobody has seen. Every item carries a history, so for any unit you can find out who bought it and who received it.

Who maintains the list

Both managers and workers add items. If a worker built the list, the specification goes to the manager for approval.

The client does not see the specification at all. A worker sees prices on their own tasks and not on anyone else's.
