I will often add "extra" items that do not appear on teh panel but I want them in the BOM.
On my panel layout, I set aside a space that is outside the printed area and put a box there. Inside the box, I place all the extra stuff I want to be on the BOM.
As far as sorting it out for your reviewing engineer, you can give these extra items their own location code and create a report based on that.
