Aligni’s Material Shortage Report turns inventory gaps into actionable insight—so you can prioritize, purchase, and produce with confidence.
Don’t Let Shortages Derail Good Plans
Your production schedule depends on parts arriving when they’re needed. But with dozens of assemblies and thousands of components in motion, even a single shortage can stall progress.
Traditional MRP systems hide this complexity behind overnight batch runs or outdated static reports. Aligni’s MSR gives you live, granular visibility into what’s missing, when it’s needed, and what action to take next—so your team can move fast and stay in control.

A Unified View of Shortage Intelligence
Aligni’s MSR consolidates filters, forecasts, lead times, safety stock, and build logic into one traceable, real-time workspace
Customize What You See—and What You Solve
The MSR isn’t just a static report. It’s a configurable workspace that adapts to how you plan, buy, and build. These settings give you granular control over what data appears, how it’s sorted, and which signals deserve attention.
Advanced Filtering
Filter your report by build name, manufacturer, or part type to narrow the scope to what’s relevant.
Ideal for honing in on specific suppliers, categories, or builds that need attention.
Save and Reuse Report Settings
Create, name, and revisit custom reports to streamline recurring workflows or share with teammates. No need to start from scratch—build once, reference often.
Multi-Warehouse Support
Specify which facility’s inventory and which builds you want the report to cover. This ensures the MSR reflects real production environments, not generalized data.
Timeline or Calendar Mode
Select Timeline or Calendar mode to match how your team plans—by build sequence or time window. Each mode adapts the MSR to your preferred planning lens.
Define How Far Ahead to Look
Adjust the number of intervals and time span—whether you’re planning weeks out or across quarters. Control how much forward visibility you need for effective planning.
Toggle Signals to Reduce Noise
Hide items already on order, safety stock indicators, or clear-to-build columns as needed.
Customize what’s displayed to focus only on unresolved, high-priority issues.
From Planning to Purchasing
The MSR isn’t a just passive report. It’s built to drive execution with one click.
- Launch RFQs or POs right from the shortage list
