ShipBob receiving day clock is not inbound putaway unit-hours
Align bin day against receiving day on one ShipBob FC cut. That distance is SB dock-putaway lag days. Keep units in view so the cut width stays honest.
Pair: Dock-to-putaway lag on Stock. Unit-hour twin: inbound putaway lag. Fullstack twin: Fullstack dock.
FC fields
Receiving day — Day ShipBob stamped when the inbound hit the FC receiving scan.
Bin day — Day those units hit a pickable bin.
Units — ShipBob units on that receiving-to-bin cut.
SB dock-putaway lag days = bin day − receiving day. When SB dock-putaway lag days climb, staff putaway on that ShipBob FC before you buy more inbound — leave blank chips alone.
Stops
Do not invent SB dock-putaway lag days. Do not dump inbound putaway unit-hour exports into receiving/bin day boxes. Do not treat pick-to-ship hours as receiving-to-bin days. Do not blend FCs when one ShipBob building owns the receiving pile.

FAQ
- Is this ShipBob inbound putaway lag?
- Unit-hours vs day clock. [Inbound putaway lag](/manuals/shipbob-inbound-putaway-lag) multiplies lag hours by inbound units. This page aligns bin day against receiving day.
- Is this Fullstack dock-to-putaway lag?
- Different 3PL ledger. [Dock-to-putaway lag](/manuals/fullstack-dock-to-putaway-lag) stays on Fullstack. Receiving / bin days never leave ShipBob here.
- What SB dock-putaway lag days should I invent?
- None. Pull receiving day, bin day, and units from the same ShipBob FC cut.
