Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of creating a BOM from an Eagle design and was wondering what everyone else does for best practices? Is there a better way for me to manager my BOM and better tie it to my design, i.e. so I don't have to update a spreadsheet with additional information if I re-generate the BOM.
Also I'd like to know what additional fields are good to have in the BOM. i.e. manufacture part#, distributor part#, footprint etc
Can this additional BOM meta data information be stored in the SCH or component somehow, so that it can all be be created with the BOM.
Regards,
Stephen...
