If you're reading this, you've hopefully created your account on [Carbon Report](/). If not, we'll be showing you how easy it is to add your first part or material to your product library.

## 1. Open the Products page in your Carbon Report Dashboard

Select **Add New Material**, **Add New Part**, or **Request Carbon Report** to **Add New Assembled Part** from your supplier's material or part. Materials are used to make Parts; Parts are assembled into Assembled Parts and ultimately tell the full story of the product's carbon emissions.

## 2. Fill out the form and select Create New Product

A Product is a SKU in our system, so input all of the important variables for each individual SKU as a Product.

## 3. Your new Part or Material now appears on your Products page

On the left, you'll see that you can continue to add additional products to your library as you need to. We encourage our customers to add all of their SKUs into Products to see a full picture of their company's carbon emissions, but we understand if you use it specifically for new bids. That's what we built it for.

## 4. Select and view the product from your library — you're ready to create your first Carbon Report

Learn how to create your first Carbon Report [here](/news/creating-your-first-carbon-report). A Carbon Report is specifically for a customer that buys that SKU of Product. This is important because how you package and ship, along with the distance to your customer's factory, is an important indicator of how much emissions are tied to that Product. We never ask for customer information during this process.

Thanks for using Carbon Report! You can view additional resources on our [Articles page](/articles).
