ShipBob FC manifest-close clock is not Fullstack manifest board

How to run thisStock / inventory3 steps
CalculatorShipBob manifest-close lag · Calculator lives in the articleOpen

Pull one ShipBob FC outbound cut. Find when the outbound manifest finalized. Subtract when it opened. Keep manifests beside that span so cut width stays honest. That span is SB FC-close days.

Pair: Manifest-close lag on Stock. Fullstack twin: FS manifest-close. Cross-dock twin: SB cross-dock.

FC outbound cut fields

Open day — Day ShipBob opened the outbound FC manifest on that cut.

Close day — Day that FC outbound manifest finalized on the same cut.

Manifests — ShipBob FC outbound rows on that open → close slice.

SB FC-close days = close day − open day. When SB FC-close days stretch, clear the ShipBob FC outbound queue before you pace ads — blank chips stay blank.

Refuse these shortcuts

Refuse inventing SB FC-close days. Refuse dumping cross-dock or pick-to-ship hours into open/close day boxes. Refuse pasting Fullstack / ShipMonk manifest CSVs into ShipBob cuts. Refuse fusing FCs when one ShipBob building owns the outbound pile.

See also: Stock, FS manifest-close, SB cross-dock, pick-to-ship.

Procedure

  1. Type open day, close day, and manifests.
  2. Read SB FC-close days.
  3. Clear the ShipBob FC manifest queue when SB FC-close days stretch.

Failure modes

  • Inventing SB FC-close days.
  • Dumping cross-dock or pick-to-ship into open/close boxes.
  • Pasting Fullstack / ShipMonk manifest CSVs into ShipBob fields.
