[Quoting](https://help.secturafab.com/frequently-asked-questions-faqs?hsLang=en#quoting) # How to Add Purchased Components You might have components or hardware items in your assemblies that you purchase from a supplier. SecturaFAB offers solutions to include these components in your quotes for a complete bill of materials. Let's discover how.    1\. After uploading your file, select the purchased component. Ensure the part type is listed as “Component.” [Find out more about managing assemblies in our resource center.](https://help.secturafab.com/working-with-assemblies-step?hsLang=en)   ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/25989744127131.png)   2\. First, select a hardware price list. [Learn more about price lists in our resource center](https://help.secturafab.com/how-to-create-and-edit-price-lists?hsLang=en). Then, assign a “Unit Cost.” Finally, add a margin for this component.   ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/25989744128923.png)   3\. Next, add a unit weight for this component. Choose to save for future use on the price list you selected. Adjust the quantity as needed and select “Finish.”   ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/25989751902107.png)   4\. You can also add a hardware component to a line item using a secondary operation. Select "Secondary Costs" tab on a line item. In this example, a "PEM Hardware Installation" operation is used. [Find out more about secondary operations in our resource center.](https://help.secturafab.com/set-up-operations?hsLang=en)    ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/25989751906843.png)   5\. Next, select desired price list and search for a specific component in the “Product Field.” Enter a quantity in “# of PEM/Item.”   ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/25989744139803.png)   6\. Input a “Unit Costs” and a “Unit Price” for this component. Add a time per hardware for the operation in the “Time per PEM.” Finally, select “Add” and then “Add Operation” to complete.   ![](https://help.secturafab.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/25989744144795.png)     Next, let's discover how component pricing works in SecturaFAB with a few examples of calculating the price for a component that has a Hardware margin/markup and a Global margin/markup. [Learn more about margins and markups in our resource center.](https://help.secturafab.com/cost-and-margin-settings-in-secturafab?hsLang=en)   Unit Cost = Max(Min Unit Cost, Raw Unit Cost) Unit Adjusted Cost = Unit Cost \* Hardware Markup Unit Price = Round(Unit Adjusted Cost \* Markup)   Example 1 Hardware Margin = 15% Margin = 20% Raw Unit Cost = $1.50 Min Unit Cost = $2.50   Unit Cost = Max($1.50 , $2.50) = $2.50 Unit Adjusted Cost = $2.50 / (1 - 0.15) = $2.50 / 0.85 = $2.94117 Unit Price = Round($2.94117/(1 - 0.2)) = Round($2.94117 / 0.8) = Round($3.67647) = $3.68   Example 2 Hardware Markup = 15% Markup = 25% Raw Unit Cost = $1.50 Min Unit Cost = $2.50   Unit Cost = Max($1.50,$2.50) = $2.50 Unit Adjusted Cost = $2.50 \* (1 + 0.15) = $2.50 \* 1.15 = $2.875 Unit Price = Round($2.875 \* (1 + 0.25)) = Round($2.875 \* 1.25) = Round($3.59375) = $3.59       Congratulations!
