Not to use their template or not to use a BOM in general? If you were thinking the latter,

I'm not sure what BOM .zip file you're referring to, the BOM I've seen used in the past is -

I know we use Google Docs for making sure we inventory parts, and so it's easier for us to use Google Docs. We just ensure that we include all the details that the BOM template has. I would suggest ensuring that you do the same, and make sure you have the same amount of info, but feel free to use any template.
