Setting up your material catalog
Setting up your material catalog
The material catalog lets you define the materials, supplies, and services your business uses — with categories and pricing. Materials from the catalog can be added to jobs for accurate cost tracking.
Open the materials settings
Navigate to SettingsMaterials. This is where you manage your material categories and individual materials.
Create categories
Click Add Category and enter a name — for example, "Packing Supplies," "Labour," or "Equipment Hire." Categories help you organise materials and make them easier to find when adding to jobs.
Add materials
Within each category, click Add Material and enter the details:
- Name — e.g. "Large moving box," "Bubble wrap roll," "Additional mover (per hour)"
- Unit price — the cost per unit
- Type — the unit of measurement (each, per hour, per metre, etc.)
Review and save
Your catalog is now ready to use. Materials can be added to any job from the job detail page.
Set up your most commonly used materials first. You can always add more later as your business needs change.
Changes to material pricing only affect new jobs. Existing jobs retain the price that was set when the material was added.
