The ladder plan that fills itself

What to make and when for a retailer's house-brand basics: inventory by size, month by month, against what the retailer says it will sell. It pulls from the ERP every weekday morning and flags any size heading below safety stock.

Replaced: a hand-kept Excel ladder, in two copies that never matched.

Months before Nov 2026 are closed and show actuals. The layout copies the planners' own spreadsheet, so nobody had to learn a new screen.
