Use BOM Tool to Order Components

Use Bill of Materials (BOM) Tool to Order Components

The Bill of Materials (BOM) tool is a feature that allows you to order components by uploading a BOM file. The BOM tool will automatically searches the components in your BOM file and adds them to your cart. This will save you time and effort in searching for components and adding them to your cart manually.

This feature is available for all users, including those who are not logged in.

The BOM tool is a new feature and is still in beta. We are working on improving the tool to make it more user-friendly and efficient. If you encounter any issues or have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know.
