What this tool does…

• Provides a simple Excel template for collecting end‑to‑end inventory data on mechanical and electrical equipment, with a focus on thermal systems (e.g., RTUs, air handlers).
• Provides consistent BABA‑relevant fields including materials, manufacturing origin, costs, and transportation details.
• Works seamlessly with the Python “Bill of Materials to Input‑Output Inventory Converter” for fast, automated BOM parsing.

Why use it?

• Provides pathways for consistent, clearly structured data for BABA compliance.
• Eliminates ad‑hoc spreadsheets and reduces errors, missing metadata, and inconsistent units.
• Produces ready to analyze datasets for DOE programs, internal assessments, and supply chain studies.

How it’s used…

• Users either fill in the Excel template directly or load outputs from the Python converter.
• The tool then generates clean, consistent datasets that align with PNNL’s established end‑to‑end inventory framework.
• Provides outputs including BABA compliancy and cost specific evaluations.
