Creating a Commodity record in the Commodity Detail screen

A Commodity Schedule records several different instances of use of a commodity in a Job or Project. This is useful if you build up a cost of a job from material usage lists or employee worksheets, for example. Commodity Schedules can be entered from the Commodity Detail screen or during job/project management from the Job or Project Detail screen. Commodity schedules can be used for all types of commodity inputs into job a projects, including labour and materials.
