Usually what I'll do is export the BOM to Excel grouped by component value and footprint, then find the parts I want to use, fill in the manufacturer and part number to the columns in my spreadsheet (I have MFG and MPN parameters for each component), and then send that along with the gerber files.īut I'd rather have the part numbers in Altium, so I don't have to redo it or copy-paste a bunch of data if I make some minor change, both of which make mistakes easy. I don't care whose 0805 22kΩ resistor I use, so there's no reason to pick one until I'm sending the board out for assembly. My normal process is to design the schematic and layout the board before worrying about part numbers. I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or if BOM management is just really cumbersome.
