In this article we show you how to customize your Material List templates with ABC Supply products and place material orders directly with ABC Supply without ever having to leave the HOVER platform.
For best results, we recommend completing the set-up steps in this order:
Click the expand arrows to reveal more or collapse information.
Before getting started
First, fill out this Supplier Default Branch form, if you haven't already done so.
The HOVER Customer Support team will use the submitted information to connect to your preferred branch and notify you by email once completed.
This typically occurs within (1) business day
Then, make sure you've connected your ABC and HOVER accounts as illustrated in this article.
You can also access this form in your account by following these steps:
You can also access this form in your account by following these steps:
Log-in to your HOVER account from a desktop browser (hover.to)
Click Material List from the property details page
Click Order Materials
This will initiate a prompt to connect a supplier account
Click Get started
Create a custom material list
Once Customer Support has confirmed that your org is connected to ABC Supply, the product search functionality for your material lists will display products exclusively from ABC Supply and its available branches.
When you create a material list for a job, it will load with a generic list of items. To customize your material list:
Update each line item to the specific ABC Supply product
Click into the line item
Search for products by name or by the ABC SKU item. If you're uncertain about either of these, you can also search using the manufacturer's name.
Select a product color or variation and edit any additional details, such as the material line item coverage, waste, UoM, etc.
For additional information on customizing your material list, refer here.
Are you not seeing the ABC Supply product SKUs?
Are you not seeing the ABC Supply product SKUs?
If you're not seeing ABC's products when searching by name or by the SKU number, it's likely that you either skipped filling out the form or haven't finished connecting your HOVER account to your supplier, as shown in this article.
Note: You can save your customized template for future use so you don't need to map line items to your supplier's products every time!
Review and submit your material order
Once all your line items of the material list are mapped with the ABC Supply catalog, you are then able to order directly from your branch by submitting the order digitally.
Click Order Materials at the bottom of the page
Review and edit line items from the Order Details page
Click Continue to billing and delivery
Enter your purchase order number
Choose the delivery method
Click Submit Order
Within the material list, a purchase order # will appear for each item you’ve previously ordered. By clicking on the purchase order number link, you can access the order confirmation details page.
Your order will show as "pending" until ABC Supply approves it.
Once the PO is approved, clicking the order ID number will redirect you to the purchase order in the ABC Supply order portals page.

Contact your ABC Supply OSR for that information
