Add hardware & items
Discrete parts like fixings, LEDs and standoffs, priced each.
What this is for
Items are the countable parts that go into a job — fixings, standoffs, LED modules, power supplies. Unlike materials (bought by the sheet or roll), items are priced each, so recipes can add exactly the number a job needs.
