ShipBob QA hold clock to sellable release
Open one ShipBob quarantine cut. Read the sellable stamp. Subtract the quarantine stamp. That day gap is SB hold-release lag days. Keep units beside the gap so cut width stays honest.
Pair: Hold-to-release lag on Stock. Fullstack twin: Fullstack hold-release. ASN twin: receipt-to-available.
Quarantine columns
Quarantine stamp — Calendar day ShipBob parked the units in quarantine / QC hold.
Sellable stamp — Calendar day those units flipped pickable / ads-available off quarantine.
Units — ShipBob units on that quarantine-to-sellable cut.
SB hold-release lag days = sellable stamp − quarantine stamp. Climbing SB hold-release lag days means staff QC on that FC before you buy more inbound — leave blank chips alone.
Stops
Never invent SB hold-release lag days. Never dump receipt-to-available or dock-to-putaway day CSVs into quarantine/sellable columns. Never treat lot-hold demand-$ days as quarantine calendar days. Never fuse FCs when one ShipBob building owns the quarantine pile.
