Why to use Allegro System Capture – Live BOM

Bill of Materials (BOM) refers to a report that lists the components used in the design. This helps you place an order for the required components. Typically, a BOM lists all components used in a design along with the part numbers and values of the different properties for each component.

System Capture has an enhanced BOM feature called Live BOM, which represents an always up-to-date view of the design BOM with a minimal configuration.

Live BOM is updated:

• As soon as you place a part on the schematic canvas.
• Use the Add to BOM option from Unified Search.
• Modify the quantity of a component in the Live BOM tab in System Capture.

In the Pulse environment, Live BOM can also be accessed and updated from a web dashboard.

Click on the Settings icon and select the Live BOM option to include it in the Project viewer.

Double-click on Live BOM to open it in a new tab.
