BOM Common Mistakes

Generic descriptions without MPN — e.g., ’10K resistor’ is not buildable
Truncated MPNs — missing suffix characters change the part entirely
Multiple parts in one row — split into separate line items
Conflicting MPNs between BOM and assembly drawing — BOM governs; note the discrepancy
Programmed devices listed without firmware revision — specify firmware version and source
Missing DNP callouts — components listed on BOM assumed to be populated
