If the request is only a few lines and you want to type them directly into the site, RFQ Submit is still the faster option.
BOM Upload FAQ
Questions buyers usually ask before submitting the file
These answers focus on practical submission details rather than generic marketing copy.
What file formats can I upload?+
You can upload common BOM and sourcing files such as Excel sheets, CSV exports, PDFs, Word documents, and basic image attachments.
Can I include alternate-part guidance in the same request?+
Yes. Use the notes field to explain approved alternates, preferred manufacturers, cost-down goals, or lines that need a second-source review.
When should I use RFQ Submit instead?+
Use RFQ Submit when you only have a short manual list to type into the site. Use BOM Upload when the request starts from a file or needs broader sourcing context.
