Make the BOM stable enough to review line by line
Use a controlled revision and stable line IDs. Preserve the distinction between a manufacturer part number, an internal drawing number and a descriptive placeholder. Mark unresolved details openly instead of selecting a convenient but unapproved substitute.
Request preparation checklist
| Area | Include or confirm |
|---|---|
| Identity | Line ID, manufacturer, complete MPN or drawing revision, description and unit of measure. |
| Quantity and schedule | Sample or build quantity, split-delivery needs, target dates and whether substitutions need approval. |
| Configuration and evidence | Options, labeling, packaging, condition, date-code restrictions and traceability documents when required. |
| Review result | Keep confirmed, proposed-alternative and unresolved lines distinct; retain the rationale for any change. |
Review and acceptance boundary
Mixed availability should remain visible at line level. Review partial shipment, consolidation, acceptance and return conditions explicitly rather than assuming one commercial term fits every line. BOM-only submission is currently unavailable; preparing a list does not submit a request.
