This article will teach you how to manage the Material Types, Tools and Suppliers in the Admin Portal Settings Tab.
Creating New Material Types
"Material Type" is a button in the Service Twin App (R) when you use "Add Materials” on a procedure with that feature enabled.
By default, your Organization comes with the following types but these can be edited, or new ones created: PO, Tools, Truck Stock, 3rd Party, or Other.
Navigate to the Materials tab: Go to the Settings Tab on the Left Navigation Menu and click on Materials. To add new material, click on the + Material Type button.
Fill out the form presented to you and click on the green checkmark when done. Red asterisks (*) denote required fields. Each field is explained in more detail below.

A - Title
Enter the Title for the Material Types.
B - Markup
Enter the Markup percentage (e.g. '20').
For example, a technical bought a motor for $100. The markup is 20%. The invoice will show $120 to the client.
C - Sales Tax
Enter the Sales Tax percentage (e.g. 5%).
For example, the sales tax will be calculated on the final invoice amount. It means 5% will be calculated on $120 which is $6. It will be shown separately as a line item.
D - Button Colour
Button Colour will allow you to set the button colour. Pick a medium-dark colour from the colour picker as that will be more prominently visible.
To delete a Material Type, click on the title of the item you wish to delete. In the slide-out, you can click the red trash sign to delete.
