BOM's should be generated by the schematic capture software... avoids
missing something.

Makes it a bitchkitty to specify mechanical parts though, doesn't it?


Well, you have to add that stuff. Or put all the hardware on the
schematic!

I don't have that problem in the I/C world ;-)

You make a BOM for an IC? Transistors, resistors, capacitors, wirebond
leads, pins, epoxy... all have to be pulled from stock?

Just to count devices... for chip area estimation. With all the
hierarchical structuring it's hard to just eyeball such stuff. The
schematic capture spits it right out.
