Hi

I have a design question regarding BOM management in Altium Designer.I want to have these components on hand too.

**Situation:**
- I have a 10A fuse (F) in my schematic/PCB design
- After manufacturing, we might need to populate it with a 15A fuse instead (I have to check peak currents)
- Both fuses share the same footprint 1206 IMP
- I want BOTH components to appear in a SINGLE BOM list (not separate variants)


Has anyone dealt with this scenario?

create is as a symbol, but with no pins, type: mechanical

then add that into your schematic
