Hello, is there a way to import a new BOM with updated quantities, products, etc rather than making the changes manually in the web UI? 

Our BOMs come from mechanical CAD software, Solid Works in our case, and would like to use PLM to manage the BOM versions. However, it seems like the only way to make BOM changes within an ECO is by manually updating the BOM in the web UI.

To give you some context, our top level assembly is made up of over 600 individual parts, with multiple nested sub-assemblies. Managing all the changes manually is not desirable and would be error prone. Instead I would love it if I could take the BOM export from CAD, and stage it in the ECO (archived) BOM directly.

Is this something that's possible in Odoo online, v19?

Thank you

Hello,

You’re absolutely right—manually managing large BOM changes (especially with 600+ components and nested assemblies) inside an ECO can become quite time-consuming and error-prone.

In standard Odoo (including Odoo Online v19), there is no native feature to directly import BOM changes into an ECO from a CSV/Excel file. While BOMs themselves can be imported, the PLM/ECO workflow requires changes to be applied through the UI for proper version tracking and validation.

That said, your use case (CAD → BOM → ECO) is quite common in manufacturing environments. Typically, this is handled through:

  • Custom import functionality to push BOM lines into an ECO

  • Or a CAD–Odoo integration (e.g., SolidWorks connector or middleware) to sync BOM structures automatically

This ensures both automation and proper change control within PLM.

Hope this works for you! Feel free to reach out for further discussion.
