Control Bill Of Materials of different revision

Filo221
Filo221 9 days ago

I'm looking for some advice on BOM management and revision control.

I use a multi-sheet Excel file, where each worksheet represents a different variant in the CIS. For every modification, I update the revision and date of the corresponding worksheet.

We are talking about BOMs with approximately 1,500 components. Once the BOM has been exported from the CIS, what checks do you typically perform?

Is there a tool available that can compare two BOMs and provide a detailed report of the differences?

Thanks

    Hi Filo221 ,

    Could you provide a bit more detail on your workflow? Are these worksheets representing different design revisions or different assembly variants, and what specific differences are you typically looking to verify after exporting the BOM (added/removed parts, quantity changes, MPN/value changes, DNI/DNP status, etc.)?

    Also, if you are comparing different design revisions, have you tried Tools > Compare Design? It can help identify schematic-level differences such as added or deleted parts, property changes, connectivity changes, and net differences between design revisions.
