Users can add material in ELM. If multiple work orders are selected, the material is divided between them.

1. Click Standard.

2. Select a crew from the Crew drop-down list to populate the Material panel with that crew's information.

The Material panel is automatically populated with the material assigned to the crew you selected.

3. If the same number of material was used, enter the number in the units field at the top of the panel. To adjust the units for a particular material, or to enter units for an individual material, enter the units in the units field for that material.

4. To add a material that is not part of the selected crew, click the Add Material drop-down list and either select the material or begin typing the first few letters of the material to filter the list.

TIP: You can also add material by clicking Hierarchy and selecting it. This adds the material to the work orders selected, not the crew.

NOTE: Material can only be added if the storeroom contains it.

5. Click Save.

If a material has assembly parts, they need to be added.

6. Click Add assembly parts.

7. Enter the number of units in the Units field. You can add the same number of units to all parts of the assembly by entering a number in the Unit Multiplier field. If the quantity for a part is more than one, the number you put in the Unit Multiplier is multiplied by the quantity.

EXAMPLE If you used two hydrant repair kits each of which contains two 2-inch brass valves and one hydrant valve, enter 2 in the Unit Multiplier field and the Units change to 4 for the brass valves and 2 for the hydrant valve.

8. Click Add to Material List to add the assembly parts to the material list.

9. Click Save.

Labor, material, and equipment can be added for contractors in ELM. If multiple work orders are open in ELM, contractor information is not divided between them. Each work order receives the full amount entered.

NOTE: When adding labor, equipment, and material provided by a contractor, enter the total cost in the Cost field. The system does not calculate the cost by the number of Hours and/or Units entered.

1. Click Contractor.

2. In the Material panel, select the contractor from the Contractor drop-down list.
3. Add material in one of two ways:

• Click the Add Material drop-down list and either select the material or begin typing the first few letters of the material to filter the list. The Id, Material, and Cost fields automatically populate when the material is selected. Enter the number of units used for the material.
• Type the material information in the Id, Material, Units, and Cost fields.

IMPORTANT: Information entered in the Cost field must be the total cost of all units. Cityworks does not calculate the cost of the units.

4. Click Save.
