What this page is for

The Supply Planning page is a time-phased planning grid. It answers one question, period by period: is each product covered, about to run short, or overstocked - and it lets you act right there. Each product (SKU) is a row-group, each time bucket (day, week, or month) is a column, and under every product sit the metric rows you choose to see. Spherecast also generates replenishment recommendations - suggested orders that appear in the Supply row - so you can turn a gap into a real order without leaving the grid.

​
What you see

The grid has a sticky left column showing each product’s SKU and title, then one cell per period stretching out to your time horizon. Above each product is a header row that can show status pills: The grid is paginated - use Load more at the bottom to pull in the next batch. The default sort is Last 90 days sales, so your biggest movers surface first. Across the top bar you have search, Filter, Display, and an Export button.

How it works

Out of the box the grid opens with Monthly granularity, a 1-year horizon, the metrics DOS - start and Supply shown, and Show recommendations turned on. You change any of this from Filter & display, and your choices persist across reloads. The grid respects the currently selected scenario. When a scenario is active, demand cells become editable so you can run what-if changes and watch supply respond. See Scenarios.

​
The eight metrics

Each metric can be added as its own row. The pages below define them in depth:
  • DOS - Days of Supply: how many days your stock covers.
  • WOS - Weeks of Supply: the same coverage read in weeks.
  • Available - projected on-hand stock at the end of each period.
  • Demand - expected outflow (sales and production draw).
  • Supply - incoming stock, including recommendations.
  • Transfers - stock moving between your warehouses.
  • Expiration risk - stock likely to expire unused.
  • Shortage - projected unmet demand.

Where to go next

Tip: If a product’s numbers look stale right after you edit, watch for the Refreshing supply plan… pill - recommendations are recomputing in the background and will settle in a moment.
