PCBA Costing Requirements
To cost a PCBA, aPriori requires these inputs:
• A Bill of Materials (BOM) spreadsheet from your PCBA design tool in a standardized, .csv format.
• Standard prices for purchased components. You can provide the pricing data as part of the BOM file if you obtain it from the aPriori Electronics Data Collection service or collect it independently. Alternatively, you can provide the pricing data in the form of a Component Library that maps your Customer Part Numbers to Manufacturer Part Numbers.
If you choose to provide the data in the form of a Component Library, work with aPriori Professional Services to develop the initial configuration. After the initial construction, an aPriori administrator at your company must maintain your Component Library.
• User inputs in the form of values provided via the PCBA Costing dialog box that appears when you click the PCBA button (or later as individual PSO settings).
