ShipMonk inbound day clock is not unit-hour putaway

How to run thisStock / inventory3 steps
CalculatorShipMonk dock-to-putaway lag · Calculator lives in the articleOpen

Open one ShipMonk FC cut. Take the shelf stamp. Subtract the inbound stamp. That day gap is SM dock-putaway lag days. Keep units beside the gap so the cut width stays honest.

Pair: Dock-to-putaway lag on Stock. Unit-hour twin: inbound putaway lag. ShipBob twin: ShipBob dock.

Stamp math

Inbound stamp — Calendar day ShipMonk wrote when the ASN hit FC receiving.

Shelf stamp — Calendar day those units landed on a pickable shelf.

Units — ShipMonk units on that inbound-to-shelf cut.

SM dock-putaway lag days = shelf stamp − inbound stamp. When SM dock-putaway lag days climb, staff putaway on that ShipMonk FC before you buy more inbound — leave blank chips alone.

Guardrails

Do not invent SM dock-putaway lag days. Do not dump inbound putaway unit-hour exports into stamp boxes. Do not treat pick-to-ship hours as inbound-to-shelf days. Do not blend FCs when one ShipMonk building owns the inbound pile.

Failure modes

  • Dumping inbound putaway unit-hour exports into inbound/shelf day boxes.
  • Folding ShipBob receiving/bin days into ShipMonk boxes.

Is this ShipBob dock-to-putaway lag?
ShipMonk FC book vs ShipBob FC book. [Dock-to-putaway lag](/manuals/shipbob-dock-to-putaway-lag) stays on ShipBob. Inbound / shelf stamps never leave ShipMonk here.
