A mix is a concrete design you buy at an agreed rate. A pour is a scheduled delivery of one or more mixes. Set up the mixes first, then schedule pours against them.
Before you start
You need the Admin or Purchaser role by default. Your company can change this per role in Company Settings.
Create and save the tracker first. The mix and pour actions stay disabled until you do.
Add a mix
Open the tracker and go to the Mix List tab.
Click Add Mix.
Enter the mix code, the description, the estimated cubic yards and the cost per CY.
Set a cost code, phase, vendor or notes if you use them.
Save. The mix appears in the Mix List table.
To change a mix later, open it from the same tab and use Edit Mix.
Add a pour
Go to the Pour List tab.
Click New Pour.
Choose the mixes on this pour.
Fill in the pour details and the planned cubic yards for each mix.
Click Create Pour.
A new pour starts at Pending.
Pour statuses
A pour is either Pending or Released. You change it from the Status column on the Pour List tab: click the status, pick the other one, and confirm in the dialog.
Pending: scheduled, with nothing logged against it yet.
Released: confirmed with your supplier. Releasing creates 1 log entry per mix on the pour. You can still edit or delete the pour afterward.
Reverting a released pour to Pending destroys the log entries that releasing created, and takes their delivery tickets, allocations and invoice matches with them. Re-releasing rebuilds the log entries but does not bring the delivery tickets back. To correct a quantity, edit the pour instead.
When a pour cannot be reverted, Pending is greyed out in the list and hovering it tells you why. The usual reason is that the pour has been reconciled against an invoice, and you unmatch the invoice lines first.
Notes and limits
A mix code must be unique within a tracker.
You cannot delete a mix that is used on a pour. Remove it from the pour first. The message names the pours using it.
Deleting a mix or a pour asks you to confirm.
Your company can rename the Mix List column titles, so yours may not match the defaults shown here.
Best practices
To fix a quantity on a released pour, edit the pour. Do not revert it to Pending — that destroys the log entries, and re-releasing does not bring the delivery tickets back.
Check the planned quantities before you release, not after. Reverting is the only way back, and it takes the delivery tickets with it.
Agree mix codes with your supplier before you enter them. A code must be unique within the tracker, and you cannot delete one that a pour is already using.
