# BOM management

> Upload BOMs, health reports, engineering diff, estimated cost, compare, and share

PartGenie treats a BOM as a living engineering document—match lines, flag risks, adopt alternatives, track changes, and estimate cost.

## Create or upload

* Upload **CSV / Excel** (or paste a part list) from the homepage, Projects, or Work mode
* Lines are matched to MPNs with status such as Full Match
* Open the BOM table for editing, filters, and live stock refresh

Projects live under **Projects** (BOM and Design workspaces).

## Health report

After upload, open the health overview for:

* **Component distribution** by category (with risk counts)
* **Risk list** — NRND/EOL, zero stock, no sourcing data, missing manufacturer
* **Bulk alternatives** — scan matched lines and surface functional replacements

## Engineering diff & estimated price

In the BOM toolbar:

* **Changes** — Adopt history and version history (what replaced what, when lines changed)
* **Est. price** — BOM-level cost estimate from live sourcing (e.g. range + how many lines priced)
* **Health** — overall health score

## Compare & chat context

* Select rows → **Compare** for side-by-side sourcing
* Multi-select BOM lines and reference them in agent chat for sourcing decisions

## Share

Share a BOM with teammates by email or link. See [Share](/en-US/share).
