Material Lead Times helps construction project managers minimize the time and effort required to determine lead time for materials on the job. This feature allows you to improve planning, reduce delays, and keep projects on track.
How to create a Material Lead Time?
To create a Material Lead Time, first, hover over a task bar and click the Track Material icon.
Next, you have the option to enter a
Required on Job (ROJ) date. This is the date that all materials are required to be on the job. If you do not enter an ROJ date, the lead times will be based on the start date of the task. 
Now, you can add your materials by clicking + Add material. A material will have a name, a lead time, an option to upload any purchase orders, assign a purchaser, and select a status. Days left will be automatically populated based on the ROJ date.
Note: Lead time can be entered in the format of 0m 0w 0d.
Once materials are added, they will display on the Gantt chart as colored triangles on the same line as the task. The ROJ will be represented by a hexagon.
How do I know if a material has been ordered?
When a material has been ordered, the material icon (triangle) will be shaded. If a material has not been ordered, the material icon will not be shaded.
How to tell if a material is past due to be ordered?
If a material is past due to be ordered, an exclamation mark will appear in the middle of the material icon.
What happens to my Material Lead Times if I reschedule a task?
If you reschedule a task, your materials and ROJ (if necessary) will automatically be rescheduled. A notification will appear informing you that the materials have been rescheduled.
