How Gerber and BOM Enter Online Quotes—and What Humans Must Review
Key takeaways
- Gerber and BOM can prefill an RFQ desk but cannot replace engineering review
- Board outline, layers, side, and refdes matching need humans
- Online prices stay estimates
How do Gerber and BOM enter an online quote? Uploads can prefill outline, layers, point estimates, and sourcing lines, but humans must confirm before those numbers lock. Wrong outline, missing side, or refdes mismatch hurts more than a slow quote. Online prices are estimates pending engineering review. DAJIQUN treats file assist as a desk capability; recognition scope follows the signed SOW.
What can auto-fill
Outline, layer hints, mask color, SMT point estimates, and BOM MPN/qty. Mark each row “pending confirm”. Broken zip files or messy headers should open a ticket, not only an error toast.
What humans must review
- Outline and units, panel and process edge in chargeable area.
- Layer count and special process (impedance, buried vias, heavy copper).
- Side and hard packages that change point fees.
- BOM refdes, alternates, EOL, and customer-forced brands before sourcing.
Walk 5–10 real Gerber+BOM sets: prefill → human fix → estimate → reloadable quote. Do not claim recognition equals a deal or perfect accuracy.
