Re: Musings from a FIRST Inspector
My understanding is ALL parts need to be listed. (Including KOP items that are used) Just put KOP in the source column and leave the cost column blank.
The cost of a manufactured frame rail for example, would be exactly as you say, the total cost of a 1 x 1 alum angle, 10 ft long divided by 120 gives the cost per inch. The frame rail is 17 inches long times cost per inch equals cost of the frame rail. Plate stock, I figure out per square inch, same for plywood, lexan etc...
Think of the BOM as a training aid for your team accountant to talk to and interface with your dir of engineering student. They have to understand how a buisness works and a product is costed before going ot market.
