I am working on a standalone tool which extracts component field values from 
schematics 
and looks-up the component, footprints and BOM-values in a database:

Component fields can be composed by macros:

and be based on a component-kind-template:

MSEkicadBOM can be used to produce the various production and documentation 
files:
