What this page is for

The supply grid can hold thousands of products and dozens of possible rows. Two dropdowns in the top bar keep it focused: Filter decides which products appear, and Display decides how they are shown. Your selections persist across reloads, so the grid stays the way you left it.

Filter

Filter narrows the product list. It is grouped into four sections. Product
  • Category — show only products in chosen categories.
  • Group — filter by product group, with a union (in any group) or intersection (in all chosen groups) rule.
  • ABC — filter by ABC class (your A, B, or C movers).
  • Assignee — show only products assigned to you or a colleague.
  • Replenishable — a toggle to show only products you actually reorder.
  • Upcoming supersessions — products about to be replaced by a successor.
Exceptions — toggles that show only rows with a given issue:
  • Stockout risk — projected to run short.
  • Excess stock — projected to overstock.
  • Expiration risk — stock projected to expire.
Network
  • Supplier — filter to products from chosen suppliers.
  • Warehouse — filter to chosen warehouses.
Orders
  • Issue next latest in — choose Next 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, or 3 months to show only products whose next recommended order must be issued within that window. This is your “what has to go out soon” list.
  • Exclude status — leave purchase or work orders of chosen statuses out of the supply figures (for example, to ignore orders you don’t trust yet).

Display

Display controls the layout and the math behind the cells.
OptionWhat it does
Metrics to displayChips that pick which metrics become rows.
AggregationLevel 1 and Level 2 pivots — Product / Supplier / Group — that group rows together. Turning this on disables warehouse breakdown and group-by-category.
GranularityDaily, Weekly, or Monthly buckets.
Time horizonHow far forward the grid runs.
Sort bySKU, last 30/90-day sales, next 30/90-day forecast, or total supply — ascending or descending.
IdentifierShow the Internal SKU or the Vendor SKU.
Display numbers inStock unit, Value (money), or a specific unit when all filtered products share one.
Order dateCount an order in the period it is placed (Issue date) or expected to arrive (ETA).
Warehouse breakdownAdd a row per warehouse.
Group by categoryGroup rows under their category.
Yearly totalsA year total column (monthly view only).
TotalsAdd totals columns.
Show recommendationsInclude Spherecast’s recommended replenishment in the Supply row.
A note on “Display numbers in → Value”: choosing Value (money) makes the Supply and Expiration cells read as currency instead of units — handy when you are talking to finance about dollars, not cases.

Step by step: build a “must order this week” view

  1. Open Filter.
  2. Under Product, turn on Replenishable.
  3. Under Orders, set Issue next latest in → Next 7 days.
  4. Open Display and set Sort by → Last 90-day sales, descending.
  5. Work the list top to bottom — biggest movers that need an order this week come first.

Example

You manage 1,200 SKUs. You filter to Replenishable = on, ABC = A, and Issue next latest in = 14 days. The grid drops to 38 products — exactly the A-class items whose next order must go out inside two weeks.
Tip: Turning on Aggregation disables Warehouse breakdown and Group by category — they are different ways of grouping the same rows, so Spherecast only lets you use one at a time. See the Overview.
