I’ve been using an excel spreadsheet to track our component bill of  
materials and would like to migrate to a more robust system. Does  
anyone know of a Bill of Material component that supports multiple  
parent / child relationships, costing, etc? I’ve done a lot of looking  
on Google and nothing has come up.
