Quick answer

Step-by-step

  1. Open the project. The BOM reflects every component on every visible layer, so toggle off any layers you do not want included.
  2. Choose File → Export → BOM. The BOM dialog opens with database, format, and grouping options.
  3. Pick the supplier database that matches your market: NL for Dutch wholesalers, ES for Spanish, DE for German. Diaz pulls current prices and lead-times from the database for every matched component.
  4. Choose format. CSV for clean import into Excel/accounting tools. XLSX for native Excel with formula columns (quantity × price). PDF for client-ready visual layout.
  5. Optionally add labor-hours per discipline (Settings → Pricing → Labor rates). Diaz multiplies your stored rate × hours and adds a labor-section at the bottom of the BOM.
  6. Click Export. File lands in your project folder. Total at the bottom = component costs + labor + applicable VAT. Re-run any time after changes — the BOM updates automatically.

Watch out

  • Outdated supplier prices: the database auto-refreshes on app start, but if you have been offline for 7+ days, prices may be stale. Force-refresh: Settings → Pricing → Refresh now.
  • Missing labor-hours field: if your BOM shows €0 labor, you have not set hourly rates per discipline. Go to Settings → Pricing → Labor rates — set one rate per discipline and Diaz will use it across all projects.
