Materials give every stakeholder their own materials list. Orders, Tickets, invoice line items, and accounting exports all reference the same Material.

​
What it is

A Material is the record for what is set on the Order. Each Material has a Name, a Material Type, and an External ID. Pricing lives on separate Material Rate table.

​
How Tread models it

  • Material — Name, Material Type, and Material ID. Owned by your account.
  • Material Type — the category the Material belongs to. Defaults to “Other.”
  • Material ID — your unique ID for the Material. This ID can only be used 1 per material. Use the same ID as your accounting system so exports match.
  • Material Rate — prices a Material: a unit of measure (Ton, Yard, Load) plus buy and sell prices. Set per Customer, per Project, per Site, or globally. See Rates, Add-Ons & Fuel.
  • Bulk import — Materials can be created one at a time or imported from CSV.
