BOM and PCB only "components"

#1 Post by mpaalanen » 10 Sep 2021, 00:58

Do you think it might be a good idea to somehow be able to indicate that a "component" should not actually be present in the BOM? I am thinking of test points, wire termination pads, solder bridges - basically anything that exist solely on the PCB and there is no corresponding component as such.
This is not a critical issue but IMO it would be less confusing if the BOM and PnP files did not have these ghost components listed. Plus those "components" add unnecessary clutter to the BOM and PnP.
