BOMS Question Doc
Asker | Question | answer |
Peyton McKee | Is manufacturer PIN the same as part number | Should be Manufacturer Part Number / PN |
Peyton McKee | What does add Assembly button go to | Assembly is just a name it would be a popup like adding a vendor |
Peyton McKee | What is the point of the move up and move down functionality | Maybe change to switch assembly button |
Walter | Could we be able to click on subtotal and sort by price | yes |
Peyton McKee | What are the most important / identifiable aspects of each BOM | Manufacturer Part Number, Name |
Reid Chandler | Is there any information that is not necessary to display in the table and would be better to be displayed in a pop up | Links potentially and notes could be moved to a popup and not included in the table |
Peyton McKee | Is there any way to use BOMs to track component use like adding an in use status or something | Delete Put Away and instead just use received |
Peyton McKee | What does editing a BOM look like | In line preferable, notes and link would be editable from the popup like tasks |
Reid Chandler | Do we have a set # of manufacturers | Can make it a model that is very easy to add to (make it an autocomplete that makes a new manufacturer if it doesn’t exist) |
Action Items:
Screenshot all the mockups and put them in confluence, with a little description of each one
Copy paste link to this question doc in confluence
Other Notes:
Electrical Parts: too granular to use a BOM to track (reason for part numbering system in Finishline); attempt to integrate with BOMs on rollout (only used for new components, users can optionally add existing parts). Way to track excess parts purchased in a BOM
Altium has a live BOM as you add components to the board. Export BOM from altium (excel spreadsheet), upload to digikey, autogenerates BOM to buy. New Feature: upload BOM to Finishline from digikey?
Concerns:
Have purchase order pdf (to scrape for the info to create a BOM)
Way to update part numbering if inventory is lost
Feature to check pre-existing stock when making a new board/BOM to give the user a notification
Hard to add in part quantity (bc the exact # of parts is changed after the BOM it exported from Altium)
Enhance Gantt chart to auto-generate change requests/wps/projects
Make edits in a Gantt chart, then walk the user through the change/ have them generate the CRs
