The Material Management program allows you to add, update, delete, and clone Material Codes for use with the MainTrac module. Materials are expendable resources that are used in jobs. Examples include, but are not limited to, fuel, oil, seeds, fertilizer, pesticides and paint. Materials are distinct from Equipment by virtue of the fact that Equipment can be re-used, and in some cases, needs maintenance. Materials become exhausted through use and must be replaced when depleted from inventory.
