BOM Portal Supplier Data Export

Created: October 15, 2025

Summary: 

Altium 365 Bom Portal allows you to upload or create a Bill of Materials for an existing managed design.  It can also export an Excel BOM that contains the data from multiple suppliers, including prices. 

To begin, create a BOM document, and display some favored suppliers for a part.  Next, open Excel and create a BOM template using the demonstrated special column queries, before saving and uploading the file into the BOM Portal in Altium Designer.   Finally, refresh the page and download the file to view the prices easily for the chosen suppliers and data.

00:00:00:00 - 00:00:17:08
In Altium 365 BOM Portal you can upload your custom BOM, or you can create a BOM of a running project. Let's create a managed BOM.

00:00:17:09 - 00:00:40:12
This creates a BOM document that is living in the cloud, and it's connected to all the components that you store in your Altium 365 Workspace. It brings along all the advantages for the where used and for the information from Octopart or the other part suppliers about the components, stock, the lifecycle, and you can work with these.

00:00:40:13 - 00:01:06:09
One thing that BOM Portal doesn't automatically have is a way to show all the prices of all the suppliers in an overview that you can export. So for parts you can see, this part: DigiKey, Arrow, Arrow, Mouser, Newark are my enabled suppliers and the pricing. But if I want to export it, I can display it in one column.

00:01:06:10 - 00:01:34:13
I do have a way to create it so I can check out my favorite suppliers and I have Mouser, DigiKey for now. Right then, maybe I want to display these three favorite suppliers on an export. I can do that. I can start Excel and make a BOM Template. A BOM Template is created using

00:01:34:14 - 00:02:02:06
special column queries and you say column should be the design item ID, it should be the description, should be the quantity. It's what's needed on a BOM. I probably need a column for that manufacturer. Right, so what is the manufacturer name and the manufacturer part number. I will add some columns for a few suppliers. There's a special syntax for that.

00:02:02:07 - 00:02:23:07
First I need a column. It will be Mouser, and then Mouser part, it's part number, Mouser, and it's unit price, Mouser, and the stock at Mouser for this part. Same for the DigiKey part number unit price. I will save this.

00:02:23:08 - 00:02:34:07
Come back, save. Put it in my documents and it will be

00:02:34:08 - 00:02:38:02
called Multi Supplier.

00:02:38:03 - 00:03:17:04
All right, so let's keep it very simple. To upload my document, I need to use Altium Designer. So I will switch to Altium Designer and go to Preferences> Data Management>Templates, and here I can upload the Bill of Material Template. It is in documents>Multi Supplier, and it has been uploaded, Multi Supplier. All right, I can return to my workspace and refresh the page.

00:03:17:05 - 00:03:38:02
Go to the download section and you can see I can download what I currently have in view here. I can download the BOM for DigiKey, or now for Mouser, or I can use one of the templates. So a few of the templates that I have available in my workspace or Multi Supplier, I just upload it.

00:03:38:03 - 00:04:06:03
Check it out, and you can see that it holds the design item ID, the description, the quantity, manufacturer, and for this manufacturer, well the mouser part number, the mouser unit costs, the mouser stock, DigiKey, and I can extend this for as many favorite suppliers as I have enabled. So this is a way that you can export

00:04:06:04 - 00:04:16:02
well, one Excel sheet from BOM Portal with pricing of multiple suppliers in one. Okay. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Bye bye.

3:20 Component Tracing This video demonstrates how to use the Altium 365 Component Library to see who created or modified a component in the web interface. It also shows users how to create a list of all components a particular user has created or modified and how to export such a list. To begin, the video uses a capacitor component type to view it's lifecycle, parameters, and models. Also shown are the revisions made to the component, it's history, and who created and revised it. This information is available in Altium Designer in the Components Panel and the Explorer Panel, where the creation data for the part is used to create a list of components by a specific user.

Your projects need to contain schematic symbols and PCB footprints in order to be opened on another computer, and the old ways of sharing this data are inefficient. If you have access to a cloud application that integrates with your PCB design tools, sharing data becomes easy, and you won’t be prone to neglecting shared data. Altium 365 Read Article

For PCB designers, this means either sharing entire design projects or sharing individual files with your manufacturer, customers Read Article
1:50 Events Log This video demonstrates navigating within the events log. The events log showcases user events and data within the workspace in a single access point for data governance. To begin, navigate to the admin tab and the events log link once the Organizational Security Package is enabled. Many types of logged events are visible including additions, removals, workspace member group assignments, component and object data, and data sharing. Event log entries can be searched and filtered by object type as well. The list can be refreshed by typing F5, and an API is also available to transfer event log data to a security information and events management system. Watch Video
3:15 Admin Checklists This video demonstrates how to add a checklist to an Altium 365 Platform for use in design reviews. To begin, navigate to the admin button, and select checklists on the right hand side to see current platform checklists. Edit or delete one by selecting the three radial dots, or create a new one by selecting the new button. In the new checklist, type or paste a list of items and a name and select add. This creates a new checklist template which can be applied to a design by opening a design, creating a design review, and adding the template checklist to that design. Watch Video
