Navigating to a Material
Click any row in the Inventory table to open its detail page.
The page has a back button (← Resources) in the header to return to the Inventory tab.
Budget Fields
The two fields at the top of the page are the material's budget:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Unit Rate | Budgeted cost per unit (₹) — editable |
| Planned Quantity | Total expected need — editable |
Change either value in place — a Save button appears in the page header as soon as you do. Click it to keep the change.
Info Panel (Material Info)
The Info panel on the right shows the material's core information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Material name from the submittal |
| Spec / Grade | Grade or spec (e.g., M30 Grade, Fe500D) |
| Category | Material category |
| Unit | Measurement unit |
| Added | When the material was added to inventory |
| Approved Vendors | The suppliers named on the approved submittal |
Stats Cards
Four summary cards show key metrics:
| Card | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Current Stock | Total delivered − total consumed ± adjustments |
| Total Delivered | Sum of the delivery quantities recorded against this material |
| Total Consumed | Sum of all usage log quantities |
| Total Cost | Sum of the delivery costs recorded against this material (₹) |
Budget Progress
When a planned quantity is set, a Budget Progress bar below the stats shows how much of it has been consumed, with the budget and the actual cost underneath:
Budget Calculation
Budget = Unit Rate × Planned Quantity
If costs exceed the budget, an amber Over budget by ₹X line appears under the bar.

Questions
Why didn't my budget change save?
Unit Rate must be more than 0. If it isn't, the page says “Enter a unit rate above 0 to save.” and nothing is saved. To remove a Planned Quantity, empty the field and save.
Can I change a QC test result after saving it?
No. Record Result is offered only while a test is pending, and a test with a result can't be deleted: it stays on the material's record. To test the batch again, schedule a new test.
Who is told when a QC test result is recorded?
The person who scheduled the test gets a notification, unless they recorded the result themselves. Nobody else is told.
Can I delete a material that has QC tests?
No. A material with any QC test, delivery, usage entry or stock adjustment on record can't be deleted, and the message says what is on record. Its tests and certificates stay with it. To correct its stock, record a stock adjustment.
