Label-to-first-scan lag is not putaway
First-scan hour − label hour make lag hours. Type both plus labels.
Pair: Label-to-first-scan lag on Stock. Putaway: inbound putaway lag. Pick: pick-to-ship lag.
What you type
Label hour — hour index when the label was created (window clock).
First-scan hour — hour index of the first carrier scan on that cohort.
Labels — labels in that same cohort.
Lag hours = first-scan hour − label hour. Fix carrier handoff when hours are fat — do not invent a lag chip.
What not to do
Do not invent lag hours. Do not mix inbound putaway into label hour. Do not treat zone-skip fees as scans. Do not average every warehouse when one owns the lag.
