Rush Material Request — Tips

Rush Material Request — Tips & Tricks

What this screen is for. Send an urgent, ad-hoc material request straight to Logistics when you can't wait for normal ordering.

What you do here

• Tap the Rush Material Request tile and type or speak the job, at least three characters.
• Tap the matching job from the list, or confirm the auto-filled guess.
• Tap Next: what do you need? to move to item entry.
• Enter Description and Qty for each item; add a Vendor hint if known.
• Tap a suggested stock match, or tap Non-stock — use my own words if nothing fits.
• Tap + Add another line for more items, or Remove to drop one, then tap Review request.
• Add any note for Logistics, then check the read-back screen for guessed items.
• Tap ← Edit to fix any wrong guesses, then tap Send Rush request and note the RO number.

Watch out

• BuilderTrend jobs don't search — type the job name as-is and it will still go through.
• Items marked guessed (job, stock number) need checking; confirmed items won't be touched again.
• If the alert to the office fails, the request still saves — call or text purchasing to confirm.
• This screen never shows price, places an order, or touches QuickBooks — ordering happens in Logistics.
