Generate inverse BOM?

Schematic
1

Basic question:

  • I used “Exclude from bill of materials” to exclude some components from the exported BOM, so to use this BOM to order PCBA (assembly) from the provider, leaving some components out (the ones we didn’t want to have soldered by the supplier).

  • Now, any way I can generate a complimentary BOM (only excluded parts) or a complete BOM (including previously excluded parts) for us to locally manage the other parts? (The ones we didn’t want to be soldered by the supplier).

Thanks!

That “new” feature for excluding a part from the BOM is 3 years old. You are better off starting a new topic for better visibility, what’s more not in the Developer Announcement category.

Thanks, just new to the forum and getting acquainted :slight_smile:

In the meantime, i tried to use a custom version of the BOM python generator, calling a custom version of the python netlist reader (where I disabled exclusions) but the excluded components don’t pass through (while I checked they are in the netlist). Looks like the exclusion is happening before that?
