Bill of Materials¶
LINKPlanner automatically calculates the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the required components of the switch. The switch BOM contains the list of part numbers, descriptions and associated quantities for the switch. Optional items can be added to the list. The link BOM can be saved as a CSV or Excel file by clicking View in Spreadsheet 
.
P/N: The Cambium part number. If the component is not supplied by Cambium, this is set to ‘(no part number)’.
Description: Description of the components.
Qty: Quantity required.
Notes: By default this displays information about certain items, such as whether they are obsolete. This field can be edited to allow additional information to be added to the item. The default text is returned if the edited text is deleted. When information is displayed in the Notes field, items will only be aggregated at the Project Level BOM if the Notes field contains identical information as well as being the same part number.
