This Help File Page was last Modified on 12/07/2017

The Inventory Used on a Job will be identified on this Inventory Used sub-tab by using any combination of these two methods:

1.Inventory Items that were used to fulfill a Job Task may be identified on a Work Order that was created specifically for that purpose.  To do so:

a)Use the New Work Order option on the Job Task Tab to create that Work Order.

b)There the Inventory Items that were used are identified in the Inventory/Materials Drop-Down Info Box on that Work Order Form.

c)By doing so, those Inventory Items will automatically be inserted in this Inventory Used sub-tab.

 

2.Inventory Items that were used may also be identified by using the Use Inventory option available on the Inventory Reserved and/or the Item List sub-tabs (which opens the Job Invoice Multi Usage dialog) that will automatically insert those Used Inventory Items into the Inventory Used sub-tab.
