Facing the same issue here. Any updates on this?

You can link the Project inside the items row in the material request as shown below:

Once this is done, check the Project and you will find the Material Request linked to it in the dashboard.

Hope this helps.

That seems a bit inconvenient. In a project where there will be more than 20 items requested, individually selecting each item and assigning a project to it will be tedious.

Is there a way where a default project value can be taken at the beginning of the material request. Like how it is done for Required By Date, and upon filling this value, the default project is populated for all items in the list? Can be requested as a feature for future builds.

@vinit320 currently projects can be linked to each item line only. There is no default project at present that will be copied to all the items. However, you can create a feature request for the same here.

Hope this helps.

Yes. I have done that. People interested can track it here.

In an R&D scenario, work orders or sales orders cannot be created since its a de…velopment job. In such a case, it is required to order raw material for development. As of now, when a material request is made from the project page, each individual item needs to be told what project its been requested for. This becomes quite tedious since if there are more than 10 materials requested, each item needs to be told individually for what project its been requested for. I am aware that you can fill in the item list, download the list, fill up the required fields, and then re-upload the list. But this again is time consuming, and the user may also forget to do the above. A solution that I propose is to have a default Project field near the Required by Date field. The functionality would be similar to Required By Date field, as in when the user enters the required date, it is automatically populated for all items in the list. The user then has the freedom to enter different dates for certain items. A similar approach can be done for the Project field as well.
