Once a Task has been created materials can be added. Materials are tangible goods that can be assigned to a Task.
QicTip
Assigned - is allocating materials to a job without committing their costs.
Think of this as you have picked all the materials you need for this job and they are sitting on a pallet in your laydown yard.
Booked - is used when you 'physically' use the materials and want to commit the cost to your job.
You can book assigned materials ie 5 tins of paint are assigned and you booked (or used) 2 tins on Monday.
Assigned material DO NOT appear in your job costs.
