Std BOM file format?
Std BOM file format?
(OP)
I am currently working on a program to import bill of material data into our system. I am wondering if there is any standardized file format for BoM data that I should be accomodating. I couldn't find anything in a google search. Has anyone done anything like this before? I would like to be able to tell our customers to use "ANSI xxx.xxx" file format (or something along that line) for the data they send us. I'm just not sure sure if anything currently exists. Thanks for any help...

RE: Std BOM file format?
I don't think I've ever seen a standard for BOM data, simply because the type of information you need varies, depending on which (if any) ERP/MRP system you have, depth of CAD data, etc.
