Hello Oliver, One option that I would like is to have a column with package names, rather than (or in addition to) footprint names. So that Capacitor_SMD:0805_Handsoldering becomes simply 0805. That is easier for the stock management and ordering process.
And as others have already observed: a BOM tools sits in the middle of workflow. The software to prepare our pick & place machine has a BOM editor. Our ordering/inventory system has a BOM editor too. So what I think is important is flexible export *and* flexible import. So that changes made to the BOM can be imported into KiCad and back-annotated in the schematic.
