Multiple Line BOM

[rcastle1]

We should really consider adding a multiple line BOM entry and the ability to copy/paste from an excel document. A lot of purchases have numerous lines, and entering things individually can take a long time. Plus copying info like supplier or subteam or sub project that's the same across multiple line items can really start to take up time.

For example, PCB BOMs are one of the most complicated BOM we have. Sometimes, we can get into the hundreds of unique components. The nominal workflow is to export a BOM from Altium, import it into Digikey, link to actual part numbers, then export a digikey BOM with links, and then just copy paste into the purchasing spreadsheet. With individual lines, that would mean hundreds of individual purchases, which would be really difficult to approve and purchase.

Also, adding copy/paste ability would be great.

Most of the time, you would build a BOM separately (in excel or sheets) and when you are ready to purchase, copy and pasting over is the way to go.
