Abstract

A generating system of automatically generating electrical type product bill of materials of the present invention comprises a stock number grouping database, a stock number ranking database, and a bill of materials automatically generating processing program. The stock number grouping database comprises at least one material group records comprising at least a product group with the same electrical specification and at least one stock number group component supplier/vendor code. The stock number ranking database comprises at least one stock number ranking record, each stock number ranking record corresponds to one of the stock number group records and is used to record an evaluating rate after evaluating with the stock number group records according to a ranking critical factor. The bill of materials automatically generating processing program is used to generate a bill of materials of the corresponding electrical circuit design according to the bill of materials outline of the input electrical circuit design diagram, stock number grouping database, stock number ranking database, and a material choosing critical factor.

Claims

1. A generating system for automatically generating a bill of materials of electrical products comprising:

a stock number grouping database comprising at least one stock number group record, wherein every stock number group record comprises at least a product group with the same electrical specification and at least a material group component supplier/vendor codes;

a stock number ranking database comprising at least one stock number ranking record, wherein each stock number ranking record corresponds to one of the stock number ranking records and is used to record an evaluating value after evaluating with the stock number group record according to a ranking critical factor;

a bill of materials automatically generating a processing program used to generate a bill of materials corresponding to the bill of materials of a design diagram of an electrical circuit according to the input design diagram of electrical circuit, said stock number grouping database, said stock number ranking database, a material choosing critical factor.

2. The generating system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said generating system further comprises:

an electrical component database used to record at least the electrical specification of each electrical component, wherein the electrical specification of each electrical component respectively corresponds to said product group with the same electrical specification of one of said stock number group records.

3. The generating system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said stock number group component supplier/vendor codes are used to respectively represent all electrical component suppliers of the electrical components defined by the product group supplying the same electrical specification according to a value of the codes.

4. The generating system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ranking critical factor is selected from a reducing cost, a quality guarantee, and an unleaded process.
