How ProWorks Materials Tracking Works

Every supplier invoice is saved against the job it was bought for.

  1. Upload the invoice

    Drop in up to 10 supplier invoices, credit notes or photos of receipts at once. AI reads the supplier, date, invoice number, items and totals.

  2. Match it to a job

    ProWorks matches each one to a job from the reference on it, and flags any it couldn't match.

  3. Keep an eye on costs

    Each job shows what you've spent on materials and labour next to what you quoted, so you'll spot it going over before you invoice.

  4. Charge for it

    When you raise the invoice, the job's materials are on it with your usual markup, so nothing gets missed.

Materials Tracking Features

For UK trades buying materials for every job.

Supplier invoices

See the job, supplier, invoice number and total for everything you've bought. Credit notes come off, and anything without a job is flagged.

Job profit

Once a job's invoiced, you'll see what it cost, what you charged, the profit and what it made per hour.

AI invoice scanning

Upload the PDF or a photo and AI fills it in. Check it over and change anything it got wrong.

Reconciliation

Mark each invoice reconciled, queried or not applicable, with a count and total for each, so your accountant can work through the month.

Materials flags

Flag jobs that need materials ordering, are waiting on an order or have something to collect. The flag shows in the diary.

Suppliers

Keep your suppliers' company and account numbers in one place, and filter by supplier and month to see what you've spent.

Materials Tracking FAQs

How does ProWorks read supplier invoices?

Upload up to 10 supplier invoices, credit notes or photos of receipts at once. AI reads the supplier, date, invoice number, items and totals, and matches each one to a job from the reference on it. Check the result and edit it if anything is wrong.

Is my markup added to materials?

Your default markup is filled in for materials on day rate and call-out jobs, and you can change the markup or the charge on any material. On quoted and fixed price jobs the materials are usually in the price already, so no charge is added.

Can I see if a job is going over budget?

Each job shows its materials and labour cost to date next to what you quoted. Once the job is invoiced it shows the profit and what it made per hour.

What happens with credit notes?

Credit notes are recorded as negative amounts on the date of the credit, so they come off the job's materials cost.

Can my accountant reconcile materials?

Yes. Turn on reconciliation and mark each material Reconciled, Unreconciled, Queried or Not applicable. The Reconcile tab shows a count and total for each, and the £10 accounting login can see your material costs.

Can I photograph a receipt instead of uploading a PDF?

Yes. Take a photo of the receipt or supplier invoice on your phone and upload it. ProWorks reads the supplier, date, invoice number and totals from the photo the same way it does from a PDF, and keeps the image with the material so you can look at it later.
