Exporting the Bill of Materials

The bill of materials from the planner contains all devices with article numbers, quantities and prices. As a Pioneer you can export it (CSV, JSON) or forward it directly as an order to your wholesaler.

Opening the bill of materials

Once the planner contains devices, the "Bill of Materials" section appears at the bottom. It shows all items with article number, manufacturer, quantity and net price per unit.

The total net value is shown at the bottom of the table. Prices are based on currently maintained list price guidelines, not live prices from the wholesaler system.

Export formats

CSV: Tabular format, opens directly in Excel or LibreOffice. Ideal for quotes or sharing with colleagues.

JSON: Machine-readable format for further processing in your own tools or for transfer to other systems.

Both formats contain: article number, product name, manufacturer, quantity, unit price net, total price net.

Order directly

Instead of exporting, you can prepare the bill of materials directly as an order. Click "Prepare order" at the end of the bill of materials.

Prerequisite: An active wholesaler account and at least one delivery address must be stored in the dashboard. The order is then created as a draft in the Orders section.

Tips

  • Prices in the BOM are guidelines based on manufacturer list prices, your actual conditions may differ
  • CSV export works well as an attachment to quotes for builders
