About this template
Supply Shortage Planner is a material shortage management workspace for supply planners and manufacturing teams balancing component availability against customer deadlines. Bring short quantities, due dates, and value at risk into one queue so the next planning decision starts with the orders that need attention. Search parts and switch between Open, Awaiting, and Resolved shortages to focus the day's review. Select a shortage to see the part, supplier, owner, affected customer order, and required quantity. The coverage breakdown separates stock on hand, supply arriving in time, and the remaining shortfall. A timing view puts purchase-order arrivals alongside the customer deadline, helping planners understand whether incoming supply solves the problem soon enough. Compare stock reallocation, expedited supply, and alternate suppliers by cost, readiness date, and partial or full coverage. Coverage, Orders, and Parts views keep the surrounding planning context close, while Orders and History tabs support a more detailed shortage review. Built with Reflex and Python, this material planning software template can be adapted to your allocation rules, supplier options, and order priorities. It starts with sample planning records that you can replace with your own inventory, purchasing, and order data.
