High-Level Excel Arena BOMControl Details
BOM Management Poor Excellent
Excel BOMs can be exported from a CAD or ERP system, but cannot be shared in a controlled
environment. When complex or multiple linked BOMs must be managed and shared, control is easily
lost. Arena is designed to help manufacturers capture product data and share accurate up-to-date bill
of materials with partners, suppliers and contract manufacturers.
BOM Where-Used Poor Excellent
It can be difficult to tie multiple product BOM spreadsheets together to analyze and understand
assembly relationships, and making repetitive and tedious data entries wastes time. With Arena, it
takes no time at all to view immediate and top-level assembly relationships for an item or assembly.
BOM Redlining Poor Excellent
With Excel it's difficult to track changes and determine the overall impact a change has on other
assemblies. Arena provides manufacturers with a way to view differences between adjacent or
discontinuous revisions of a specific assembly, and track changes to quantity, name, number,
reference designators and more.
BOM Comparison Poor Excellent
Comparing multiple Excel BOMs can be a challenging and time-consuming process. Because Arena is
built on a relational database, it's easy to compare differences like quantity, reference designator, and
substitute items between an items BOM and any number of other items BOM.
Costed BOM Poor Excellent
Pulling cost data from an Excel BOM spreadsheet is a laborious and frustrating process. Arena provides
a way to track your fully costed BOM and/or product for prototype and production costs on
assemblies and products. Manufacturers can use quotes or estimates to calculate the percentage costs
of various components or assemblies for complete products within Arena as well as view price, target
cost and standard cost for each item.
Versioning Poor Excellent
With Excel BOMs, it's difficult to identify which spreadsheet file is the latest version and whether the
revision is correct. In Arena, manufacturers can visually track item, assembly and product status as it
moves from concept to design to production.
BOM Views Poor Excellent
When BOMs are built in a spreadsheet, there are limited ways to manipulate the data, and it can be
difficult to create personalized views for everyone who needs access. Arena offers role-based views of
the product structure (e.g., indented, flat, sourcing, custom) based on a user's specific business needs.
BOM History Poor Excellent
With Excel, product revisions are tracked with spreadsheets and controlled file shares. BOM
management capabilities in Arena help manufacturers retain product history with redline comparisons
between current and previous revisions. This allows complex product history and changes to be
viewed quickly and easily.
Security Poor Excellent
Spreadsheets can be locked and password protected, but the data can be edited and re-saved easily,
putting intellectual property at risk. With Arena, you can control who has access to the product data,
as well as how much access and interaction each user has.
Are Excel BOM templates right for YOU?
We've done our best to create a useful BOM template that you can start using today. But rememberwhile Excel BOM templates are a good place to start, they can ultimately work AGAINST
business goals and not for them. Check out the chart below to see how Excel BOMs stack up against a BOM and change management solution.

Content Description
This example shows a multi-level BOM for a GPS product. Each subassembly is listed along with the
components that make up that subassembly. Ann individual part may be listed in the BOM multiple times
if it is included in more than one subassembly.
BOM Level shows the hierarchy of the parts and assemblies in the BOM. Level 0 (zero) is the top assembly
being described.
Part number lists the unique company part number. Do not place manufacturers part numbers here.
Part Name is the unique part name.
Revision is the revision of the part used in this assembly.
Phase describes where this part is in the lifecycle. For products in production, this will generally be 'In
Production', however for new parts which have not been approved these may be listed as 'Unreleased' or
'In Design'.
A detailed description of the part.
Commonly, the number of parts needed in the assembly or subassembly. However, when used with the
unit of measure, it can describe the amount of something needed- like 2 inches or 3 pints.
Unit of measure describes how you use or buy the part. Most commonly UOM is each, but it can also be
standard measures like feet, inches, pints, drops, box
Describes how the part is bought/made. OTS - Off-the-Shelf or MTS - Made-to-Specification
Used with PCBAs, this lists the location on the board of the part on the BOM.
This is an open note field to describe part information which is specific to this BOM.
