Description
Turn your Air Supply purchase-order export into a weekly, line-level control view. The Advanced Weekly LOB (Line of Balance) shows the exposed week, traces the PO line behind every gap, and turns it into a supplier follow-up decision.

The ready-to-use weekly Line of Balance — run it on your own Air Supply export and turn every gap into a supplier decision.
The free presentation

See the gap. Trace the line. Act on it.
- See — read one balance line per part and spot the exact week where the need is not covered: late, short or still open.
- Trace — follow the shortage to the PO line behind it; demand and promise sit in the same view.
- Act — chase the supplier, request an earlier shipment, or warn customer support, and record the answer for next week.
Why a raw PO export is not a control tool
- No weekly view — orders and promises stay as raw dates; nobody sees the week a part falls short.
- No balance line — request and promise live in different rows; the real gap is never computed.
- No link to the order line — a shortage never points to the PO line to chase.
From an Air Supply PO export to one weekly view
The tool restructures order-line data into a weekly Line of Balance: the 10 Collab Req row (customer need), the 40 Agreed Prom row (supplier promise) and the 70 LOB Collab balance line (promise minus request, kept until the gap closes).
| Origin_Date | 2026-24 | 2026-25 | 2026-26 | 2026-27 | 2026-28 |
| 10 Collab Req | 74 | ||||
| 40 Agreed Prom | 74 | ||||
| 70 LOB Collab | 0 | -74 | -74 | 0 | 0 |
Colour on the balance line: green = covered, orange = late or short, blue = early. Document rows carry the PO number, so every gap points to the exact order line.
What the weekly LOB reveals
| Situation | What the LOB shows | Review action |
| Covered on time | Need and promise in the same week (balance 0). | Monitor only. |
| Late promise | Promise lands after the required week. | Chase the PO line / request earlier shipment. |
| Open back order | Negative balance stays open, no promise. | Escalate and demand a committed date. |
| Early promise | Promise arrives before the need. | Confirm receipt timing and stock impact. |
| Partial coverage | Part of the quantity covered; gap remains. | Secure covered quantity, chase the residual. |

Frequently asked questions
What is a weekly Line of Balance (LOB)?
A weekly grid comparing, per part, the customer request against the supplier promise, with a running balance. The Advanced Weekly LOB adds the order numbers behind each line, so a gap is not just visible — it is actionable.
What data do I need to get started?
An Air Supply PO export with part numbers, request dates and quantities, and promise dates and quantities. An anonymised extract is enough to build the first view.
Does it replace my ERP or MRP?
No. It sits on top of your data as a focused weekly control view for supplier follow-up; it does not replace your system of record.
Can I use it outside aerospace?
Yes — the request / promise / balance logic applies to any part-level supplier follow-up.
