Very hard to help without some more info... What scenario, turn, side, are you playing? What have you done?

If you are Allies, and have just invaded, have you left the Amphibs in place to support the temporary ports? All the 'real' ports will be damaged and wont provide sensible supply until repaired.

As HMSWarspite said, leave some of the Amphibious TFs in place to keep your beachheads open while you repair ports. Set the larger ports on priority repair status.

Place a save file in a zip and upload to the bug report forum - I'll move the post to the main area. The community will solve it pretty quick I believe once we can see what's going on.

Alright seems to have worked left the fleets by the invasions beaches had to change a few things but now supplies seem to be going to units. Mind you finding it hard to kill/rout enemy units assaulting palermo with 147k troops V 6k and cant seem to budge em

The troop numbers are only a very approximate guide to strength. You need to look at CV. You will find that units, with supply, in cities have a huge defense value. You need to isolate them. For Palermo (or other ports) this means blocking sea supply. You can do this with naval patrols (a naval AD), or by parking an amphib unit next to the port. This has an added bonus of giving naval gunfire support. However it will result in damage to the amphib. Once you have isolated the port, you then have the problem that it might have quite large stocks in depot there - isolate the port and let it use up supply for a while. Meanwhile, attack from the air. Make sure when you do attack the units are in the same corps, and there is lots of artillery in that HQ. Attach engineers to the attacking units. You will get there eventually, but dont keep attacking if you are not achieving good odds (better than 1:1) as you will tire fast. In this case wait for next turn.

Oh, and make sure you have air superiority so they can't fly supply in...
