Field crews use service trucks as mobile warehouses on the job site. You can pull material directly from a truck when starting work, and return unused or leftover material back to the same truck when the job is done. All truck inventory activity is tracked in Inventory HQ just like warehouse transfers.

Pull material from a truck on a job

When logging material usage for a job, select the service truck as the source location instead of a warehouse. The pull reduces the truck’s stock and records the material against the job. For the full pull process, including bulk pull and batch selection, see Pull material.

Return material to a truck

After a job, return unused material to the service truck it came from. The return flow runs through the Select Batches screen so Inventory HQ matches the return to the FIFO batch the material was originally pulled from. For the complete return steps, see Return material.
