It was supposed to be / There was supposed to be

Hi teachers,

Scenario: Our supplier is unloading a set of furniture in the parking lot where we are there to do the inspection with our list on hand.

I say: I'm sorry but it was supposed to have two pieces of ply boards we ordered. They should have been here. (Would there was supposed to...justified there? And please correct the sentence.)

Thanks
