1. What is a materials report

A material report is a summary of all materials listed in your techpacks for product development.  This helps keep a tab on the material lists and vendors along with respective milestone dates and stages of sourcing.

Techpack - The report will be generated for the selected techpack.

Folder - The report will contain all the techpacks in the selected folder.

Keyword - The report will contain all the techpacks with your provided keywords.
