ShipMonk wave-release dock-to-ship is not ShipBob trailer clock
Take one ShipMonk wave-release path export. Read the BOL ship stamp. Subtract the dock scan. That calendar gap is MK dock-ship lag days. Keep orders beside the gap so volume stays honest.
Pair: Dock-to-ship lag on Stock. ShipBob twin: SB dock-ship. Putaway twin: dock-to-putaway.
Wave-release columns
Dock scan — Calendar day ShipMonk stamped when the inbound (or cross-dock) hit the dock scan for that wave-release path.
BOL ship stamp — Calendar day those orders left as BOL-shipped.
Orders — ShipMonk orders on that dock-scan-to-BOL cut.
MK dock-ship lag days = BOL ship stamp − dock scan. When MK dock-ship lag days stretch, staff the ShipMonk wave-release path before you pace ads — blank chips stay blank.
Hard stops
Do not invent MK dock-ship lag days. Do not dump dock-to-putaway or pick-to-ship hours into dock/BOL boxes. Do not paste ShipBob trailer dock CSVs into ShipMonk fields. Do not fuse sites when one ShipMonk building owns the wave-release pile.

FAQ
- Is this ShipBob dock-to-ship lag?
- ShipMonk wave-release path vs ShipBob trailer dock cut. [Dock-to-ship lag](/manuals/shipbob-dock-to-ship-lag) stays on ShipBob. Dock scan / BOL stamps never leave ShipMonk here.
- Is this ShipMonk dock-to-putaway lag?
- Outbound BOL clock vs inbound putaway clock. [Dock-to-putaway lag](/manuals/shipmonk-dock-to-putaway-lag) aligns putaway against dock. Here you align BOL ship stamp against dock scan on orders.
- What MK dock-ship lag days should I invent?
- None. Source dock scan, BOL ship stamp, and orders from the same ShipMonk wave-release path export.
