Marking materials as bought or delivered

If you are doing the buying, record everything on the spot — standing in the shop and standing at the van while it is unloaded. Filling it in that evening from memory is where it all falls apart.

At the shop

Open the item in the Purchase section and choose one of three buttons:

All — bought in full. Enter the price.
Part — bought part of it. Enter quantity and price. The remainder stays on the list.
Ordered — ordered for delivery. Enter quantity, price, date and a comment.

The price is required in every case. Enter what is on the receipt, not what was planned.

At unloading

What you bought sits in the Delivery section. While it is there, nobody has formally accepted the material.

Record where it arrived:

To site — enter the quantity.
To the warehouse — enter the quantity and choose the warehouse.

If part was unloaded on site and part taken to storage, record it as two actions.

Check before confirming

Quantity, condition of the packaging, article number. For finishes, the batch and the shade.

If the wrong thing arrived, record a return rather than a receipt.

When material goes into the work

Move the item to the Site section. That records the material as consumed on the object.

If only part was used, move only that part.

Why this matters to you

The item history shows who bought and who received each unit. When something turns out to be missing at the end of a stage, your records protect you: they show what you brought and what you handed over.

Items left open are sorted out by hand, and that means going through the people who handled them.
