How do I scrub my BOM? (Accuris partnership)

A BOM can slow down quoting before pricing even begins. Manufacturer names may be outdated, compliance fields may be missing, lifecycle risk may be hard to spot, and approved alternates may not be visible when sourcing decisions need to happen.

In this session, Mike Turner and Tammy Max show how CalcuQuote helps teams clean, enrich, and review BOM data before pricing, so sourcing decisions can happen with fewer surprises.

Key Takeaways

Scrub the BOM before pricing decisions depend on it

BOM scrubbing is not just about finding a price. It is about making sure the data behind the quote is clean, enriched, and ready for sourcing decisions. 

  • Review messy BOM data earlier
  • Catch missing or outdated information
  • Reduce sourcing friction before pricing begins

Enrich BOM lines with the information teams need to act

CalcuQuote helps bring procurement-relevant context into the BOM review process, so teams can make better decisions from the data they already have. 

  • Compliance fields and lifecycle indicators
  • Manufacturer context and taxonomy data
  • Part change and sourcing signals

 

Choose which data source should win by field

The redesigned workflow lets teams decide which source should take priority for different fields, instead of treating every data point the same way. 

  • Prioritise partner data where it adds value
  • Preserve internal classifications and part numbers
  • Mix data sources by field and workflow

Spot lifecycle and change risk earlier

Set your refresh interval and CalcuQuote pushes alerts back to your BOM whenever Accuris detects a change.

  • Choose a one, two, or three week refresh cadence
  • End-of-life alerts include recommended alternates plus last-time-buy and last-time-delivery dates
  • Plan the buy or warn the customer before the part disappears

Use validated alternates to support better customer conversations

When alternates are available, the workflow can surface form-fit-function options from validated sources, helping teams communicate next steps with more confidence.

  • Manufacturer-backed alternate data
  • Parametrics confirm the fit before the alternate appears in your quote
  • Better options when parts are unavailable

Compliance and inventory signal at your fingertips

Everything you need to scrub a line, in one place.

  • RoHS status, compliance flags, and manufacturer taxonomy (capacitors, resistors, microcontrollers)
  • Book pricing from Arrow, DigiKey, Mouser, TTI, Avnet, Newark, and Farnell
  • Obsolete parts covered by partners like Rochester and FLIP
