Careful. You keep that line of thinking up and you will be creating an MRP package. Therein lies madness. *grin* The CM world could use a good open source MRP system though. > Now, as to BOMs, that's worth discussing too.

You can do pretty much anything with that. .csv "Comma seperated values" Its eactly what you are talking about. tabs, commas. spaces Excel and OO both don't care which. In a lot of cases though the output from your sechematic capture program isn't quite up to snuff. An Example would be substitutes which most schematic captures don't know about. Just make sure you BOM is as clear and as detailed as possible and that all parts on the bom match up with designators on the board. And that the build notes are clear. Then you have a much better chance of your CM getting it right. -- Richard A.
