I agree with the sentiment of "don't make too much more work for
yourself," but OP says he expects to "create another bill of materials
script for another user in the future, and most certainly, while the
concepts might be the same, the specifics will change." So it wouldn't
be unwise, unnecessary, or overdoing it do factor it now, especially
if he has time now.
