Tradify provides the ability to log two types of material costs on a Purchase Order. The first and most commonly used are Price List Items. These are items that have already been entered into your system with set preferences. You can find out more about Price List Items here.
The alternative to Price List Items is Miscellaneous Costs. These items are stand-alone and are best used in one-off scenarios.
