ShipMonk inventory freeze clock is not ShipBob quarantine

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

Pull one ShipMonk inventory-freeze export. Take release day. Subtract freeze day. That gap is SM hold-release lag days. Keep units on the export so volume stays honest.

Pair: Hold-to-release lag on Stock. ShipBob twin: ShipBob hold-release. ASN twin: receipt-to-available.

Freeze-export math

Freeze day — Day ShipMonk parked the units on inventory freeze.

Release day — Day those units flipped sellable / ads-available off freeze.

Units — ShipMonk units on that freeze-to-release export.

SM hold-release lag days = release day − freeze day. Climbing SM hold-release lag days means staff freeze review on that FC before you buy more inbound — leave blank chips alone.

Guardrails

Do not invent SM hold-release lag days. Do not dump receipt-to-available or dock-to-putaway exports into freeze/release boxes. Do not treat lot-hold demand-$ days as freeze calendar days. Do not blend freezes when one ShipMonk building owns the pile.

Related: Stock, ShipBob hold-release, receipt-to-available, dock-to-putaway.

Procedure

  1. Type hold day, release day, and units.
  2. Read SM hold-release lag days.
  3. Staff QC when SM hold-release lag days are material.

Failure modes

  • Inventing SM hold-release lag days.
  • Dumping receipt-to-available exports into hold/release boxes.
  • Treating lot-hold demand-$ days as freeze calendar days.
