Most of the BOM is covered. Two ICs and a few passive components are still unconfirmed. That short list can become the part of the job that takes the most follow-up.

WOMAiELEC accepts multi-line BOMs and shortage lists for component sourcing review. A clear list helps us check the requirement and discuss suitable supply options with fewer clarification emails.

Separate per-board usage from the purchase quantity

A board uses two ICs. A build of 500 boards needs 1,000 ICs before any allowance for production loss or spares. Label per-board usage, board quantity and final RFQ quantity separately. Your team should set any additional allowance. A supplier should not have to guess whether 2 means two pieces in total or two per board.

Keep original line numbers and complete ordering codes

Include the manufacturer, complete part number, required quantity and notes for each shortage line. Keep suffixes intact. An internal stock code can be included, but it should not replace the manufacturer ordering code. Mark purchased lines as no quote required.

Tell us which lines matter first

If you need 1,000 pieces overall but 200 would release a pilot build, state both quantities and their required arrival dates. Supply, pricing and freight for split deliveries need confirmation. Include the destination so the requested delivery date has context.

List approved alternatives separately

Identify any engineering-approved alternatives clearly. If you want candidate replacements reviewed, provide the original part and the relevant package, pinout, performance and software constraints. Similar names do not establish compatibility. Your engineering team must approve substitutions for the design.

Put packaging and document requirements in the RFQ

Single-lot supply, date-code limits, unopened packaging and inspection documents can affect which offers are suitable. Raise these requirements before accepting a quote. Confirm what packaging, records and inspection scope are available for the offered material.

How WOMAiELEC helps

Submit the missing lines together for matching and quotation review. We can clarify incomplete entries and review sourcing enquiries against your quantities and priorities. Compare the offered part numbers, packaging, quantities and terms with your approved BOM before ordering.

A quotation does not mean every line has been reserved. Confirm final quantity, price and lead time for the specific order. Identify revisions clearly so both sides use the same list.

You can send only the shortage lines; there is no need to wait until every other line is settled. Include complete ordering codes, manufacturers, final quantities, priorities, dates and destinations, plus packaging requirements and approved alternatives where relevant.
