Introduction

A complete BOM includes the following for each specified purchase item:

  1. Quantity
  2. Item description. Write down unique identifying properties.
  3. Link - once click to arrive at description, source, or price (whenever available)
  4. AVL - Approved Vendor List - this defines what vendor the item can be purchased from. If a specific Link is provided, the AVL must also be filled out. This specifies what may be substituted. If it doesn't matter, write Open/Any. If a specific manufacturer is required, write down that specific manufacturer or distributor.
  5. AVL PN - Approved Vendor List Part Number - specify the manufacturer's or distributor's part number.
  6. MOQ - Minimum Order Quantity
  7. Lead Time - time to doorstep - or required from the placement or order to arrival of product at your doorstep.
