ShipBob FC tote lane dwell is not Fullstack pick-tote rail
Work one ShipBob FC tote lane. Stamp when the tote was filled. Stamp when the tote was emptied. Keep totes beside that span. The difference is SB tote-dwell days — Fullstack pick-tote rails and staging bay waits stay off this lane.
Pair: Tote-dwell lag on Stock. Fullstack twin: FS tote-dwell. Staging twin: SB staging-dwell.
FC tote lane stamps
Tote-fill day — Day ShipBob filled / assigned the tote on the FC tote lane.
Tote-empty day — Day that tote was emptied / cleared on the same lane.
Totes — ShipBob tote rows on that fill → empty cut.
SB tote-dwell days = tote-empty day − tote-fill day. Climbing SB tote-dwell days means clear stuck totes before you pace waves — leave blank chips alone.
Refuse these shortcuts
Refuse inventing SB tote-dwell days. Refuse dumping Fullstack pick-tote or ShipBob staging-dwell exports into tote-fill/empty boxes. Refuse treating pick-to-ship calendar hours as tote-dwell days. Refuse blending FCs when one ShipBob FC tote lane owns the stuck pile.
