Please can you make the bom and designators match the format that JLCPCB specifies? #532

Describe the bug Add the plugin to KiCad 8 Run it on a PCB Examine the bom and designators files and compare to the formats that JLCPCB require: https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/How-to-generate-the-BOM-and-Centroid-file-from-KiCAD https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/bill-of-materials-for-pcb-assembly

Tye column order and naming differs from the order and naming emitted by the plugin. It's a pain to have to edit the files everytime and reorder them :-)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

Expected behavior csv files are produced according to the JLCPCB specification.

Are you sure you generated the BOM ans CPL with this plugin?

This is a BOM from the plugin:

grafik

And this the CPL:

grafik

The only difference I can spot is that the Plugin names the last column of the BOM "LCSC" instead of "LCSC Part Number" but the header doesn't matter, only the order of the columns.

I'll close this. Re-open if the problem is still around
