I have been using the following attributes for building BOMs and orders ---

 manufacturer
 manufacturer_part_number
 vendor
 vendor_part_number

all lower case with underscores replacing spaces. The only BOM (or
order) attributes I place in the schematic are manufacturer and
manufacturer_part_number. I join the vendor information to the
manufacturer/manufacturer_part_number when I run my order script.

I use the attribute names as column names in my Postgres tables.
