Product Feature
Drop a raw BOM in any format and Part Risk Manager labels your columns, resolves every MPN, and populates lifecycle, compliance, and sourcing data across all lines.
Overview
Part Risk Manager ingests your bill of materials exactly as it comes out of your PLM, ERP, or spreadsheet. Z2 auto-detects the MPN, manufacturer, and quantity columns, matches each line against a database of 1B+ components, and returns enriched risk data in one pass. The reformatting and field-mapping that usually introduces human error is gone: supply an MPN column and supplier names, and Z2 handles the rest at any file size.
Most BOM tools force a fixed template, so engineers spend hours reorganizing columns and stripping headers before they can run an analysis. Drop a CSV, an Excel workbook, or a direct export from SAP, Agile, Arena, or another PLM/ERP system, and Z2 reads it as-is regardless of size or layout. The upload engine auto-labels your columns without manual mapping: supply MPNs and supplier names, and Z2 infers manufacturer, quantity, and reference designators where present. A procurement engineer moves from raw export to fully scored BOM in a single pass.
Every line is matched against the Z2 component database the moment it lands. Validated MPNs resolve instantly to lifecycle stage, manufacturer, compliance status, and sourcing footprint, so the BOM carries current intelligence rather than the static attributes captured at design time. When an MPN is unrecognized, mistyped, or formatted inconsistently, Part Risk Manager flags the line and surfaces the closest validated match. You confirm or correct it in place, so a messy BOM never blocks the whole analysis.
Once parts resolve, Part Risk Manager returns a composite risk score from 0 to 100 per line, weighting lifecycle stage, inventory depth, lead-time trajectory, and sourcing concentration into one number, so a manager can scan a multi-thousand-line BOM and see which parts demand attention. The lifecycle forecasting behind the score is validated to 90%+ accuracy using the CALCE methodology, so the risk reflects where a part is headed, and you can drill into any line for the underlying lifecycle, PCN, compliance, and alternate-source detail.
Uploaded BOMs are saved in organized folders, so a one-time upload becomes a living document. Teams retrieve a stored BOM, edit lines in the tool, and rerun analysis as conditions change instead of re-uploading a fresh file each cycle. Because the BOM persists, its data stays connected to live monitoring: as lifecycle status shifts, PCNs publish, or lead times move, the stored BOM reflects the change, turning a static parts list into a continuously updated risk picture.

Upload BOMs & Populate Data is one capability inside Z2 Part Risk Manager, the industry's largest component intelligence platform. Search and score 1B+ parts across obsolescence, compliance, sourcing, and supplier risk, all in one view.
Common Questions
It accepts CSV and Excel files plus direct exports from PLM and ERP systems including SAP, Agile, and Arena. There is no fixed template and no file-size constraint; Z2 reads the BOM in its existing layout and auto-detects the columns it needs.
No. Z2 automatically labels and analyzes your columns on upload, so there is no manual field mapping. Supply an MPN column and supplier names, and the platform infers the remaining fields where they exist, removing the reformatting step that typically introduces human error.
Unrecognized, mistyped, or inconsistently formatted MPNs are flagged rather than dropped. Part Risk Manager surfaces the closest validated match so you can confirm or correct the part in place, and a messy or partial BOM does not block the rest of the analysis.
