We design our PCBs but do not manufacturer them. Our PCB BOMs are under document control. Sometimes, once orders for PCBs are placed with the board house, they call and say a component is obsolete or has a long lead time and they located an alternate. We approve the alternate part. My question is what is the best way to manage the change to the documentation of the PCB files? Should we add the alternate to the BOM and revise the BOM? The engineering department is suggesting that they should only have to add the part to the database and not touch the BOM.
