MultiSIM - How To Order PDF

MultiSIM BLUE allows users to order parts for their circuit design with a simple process. The user first generates a bill of materials (BOM) from their design in MultiSIM BLUE. This BOM contains details of the components used including manufacturer, footprint, and orderable part numbers. The user can then view the updated BOM in the BOM Viewer, which shows pricing and availability. Finally, the user transfers the BOM to Mouser's online cart to complete the ordering process.

MultiSIM BLUE How to Order

Introduction
Once you have your design complete, you can order parts for your design with a few simple steps starting with a BOM representing the parts list for your project. By managing your design with
MultiSIM BLUE through the View Project BOM feature, you can readily access part information,
obtain accurate component costs and availability and utilize the links between MultiSIM BLUE and
Mouser Electronics online cart to facilitate a quick and efficient ordering process.
What is a BOM?
A BOM (or Bill of Materials) is a specially formated parts list which contains a variety of details about
the components in your design. In MultiSIM BLUE this information includes, among others,
manufacturer information, footprint information, part designators (refdes) and most importantly
from a procurement standpoint, the orderable Mouser part numbers. The BOM is organized into
rows and if you use a single part type multiple times in your design, that component will be group
and will show the overall quantity and all asssociated reference designator information for that part
will be shown.
Ordering Steps
In this guide, it is assumed that youve completed the design process in MultiSIM BLUE and all
component choices have been made using the Mouser database.
1. To generate the BOM from your design from within the MultiSIM BLUE schematic capture
environment, go to Reports -> Bill of Materials from the menu system.
2. Select the file icon ( ) and save the BOM as a formatted text file to a selected location. Note
if the save location is a folder that is identified in the main MultiSIM BLUE application
(selected in settings), the BOM file for the project will automatically populate if the MultiSIM
BLUE tool is refreshed.
3. From within main MultiSIM BLUE window, navigate to the BOM you saved for your project (or
simply select the BOM if it appears in the dropdown) and press the View Project BOM button
to open the BOM Viewer.

Once the BOM Viewer window opens, the parts list will automatically refresh with up-to-date
component availability and show localized pricing based on the user preferences NOTE: You
must have an internet connection in order to complete this step.

4. If there are any warnings (due to part lifecycle, insufficient part quantities or other conditions,
a yellow icon will appear next to the row of the parts generating the warning and a message

will appear at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on these icons will show additional details
for the affected parts about the circumstances causing the warning.
5. You can choose to increase the quantity multiplier (Qty. Multiplier x) to determine pricing
levels if you wanted to purchase components for quantity 2 or more projects. Note that the
pricing reflected is for components only and does not show all charges (such as shipping) that
may be required for the purchase.
6. To accurately price the parts for your project, transfer the BOM to the Mouser online cart
using the Add BOM to Cart button.

7. Complete your order from mouser.com using the Mouser Electronics online cart.
