Hi, I wrote a good sized application for a start up on Colorado, they do proto type assembly and this app is used to manage BOM info and feed pick and place equipment.
See: www.aapcb.com Download BOM Builder at www.indexdesigns.com/files/bbsetup4.zip (22MB) It might be to much of a pain for most circuit designers to use but it is really good if you want to control all aspects of assembly. Someone needs to setup jobs, with automated links to schematic and PCB design tools it because very easy. Be sure to read the manual!

One aspect of Kicad which could be usefully improved would be to add an option for reports which allows the generation of report data in some form of spreadsheet format. The majority of my clients require BOMs to be presented in this way, and I'd find the ability to write direct to an OASIS (or even an Excel!) spreadsheet file very useful. Or have I missed something?? Best wishes Chris Bartram Please read the Kicad FAQ in the group files section before posting your question. Please post your bug reports here.
