    Dock-To-Dock Report

    The Dock-To-Dock time report shows the amount of time taken for Parts to go from Receiving to Shipping. The average time is calculated for each Process, Work Order, and Part Number, weighted by the number of Parts shipped. The Start To End time is calculated by the last dock end minus the first dock start.

    Dock start is the date when a Part was received. It is determined based on a hierarchy of potential sources, allowing for various workflows:

    • If an Inventory Batch exists, its creation date is used.
    • If not, depending on Domain Settings, the date of the first Parts Transfer that exits the Process Node tagged with "Parts Received" is used.
    • If none of the above are available, the date of the first Parts Transfer is used.

    Dock end is the date when a Part was shipped. It is determined based on a hierarchy of potential sources, allowing for various workflows:

    • If a Shipment exists, the Domain Setting "Define 'Shipped' Date As Shipment Created." will determine whether the Ship Date or Creation Date of a Shipment is used.
    • If a Bill of Lading exists and a Shipment does not exist, the Domain Setting "Define 'Shipped' Date As Bill Of Lading Created" will determine whether the Signed Date or Creation Date of a Bill of Lading is used.
    • If a Packing Slip exists and a Shipment and Bill of Lading do not exist, the Domain Setting "Define 'Shipped' Date As Packing Slip Created" will determine whether the Signed Date or Creation Date of a Packing Slip is used.
    • If none of these dates are available, again depending on Domain Settings, the Signed Date of the Packing Slip Signature or the Creation Date of the Packing Slip is used.

    The Domain Setting "Define On-Time-Delivery 'Shipped' date as packing slip created" can be configured for users whose Customers pick up their orders. This ensures that delayed pickups don't negatively affect on-time delivery reports. The Reporting Domain Settings can be found by clicking the three-line icon next to "View Reports" in the Reporting Dashboard, and clicking on Settings:

    The date filters will limit results where parts are both Received and Shipped within the selected date range.
    Processes of type "FOR_PART_NUMBERS (created using process composer) are not included in this report.
    The data for this report updates on Saturday nights.

    General Operations Counts

    This report shows the count of Quotes, Sales Orders, Work Orders, and Invoices created.

    Node-to-Node

    The Node-To-Node Report shows the amount of time taken for Parts to go from one Node to another. The average time is calculated for each Process, Work Order, and Part Number, weighted by the number of end Parts. The overall Node time is calculated by the last end minus the first start.

    The setting "Node To Node Tags" is used to determine the start and end Nodes for the Report.

    A Part is considered to have started when it is transferred to the start Node.

    A Part is considered to have ended when it is transferred from the end Node.

    Processes of type "FOR_PART_NUMBERS" (created using Process Composer) are not included in this Report.

    Part Transfers

    The Part Transfers Report shows three components, stacked vertically:

    Component 1: Breaks down the number of Part Transfers by type and month.

    Component 2: Breaks down the number of Part Transfers by type and month, excluding step, transfer, complete, entrance, and exit transfers.

    Component 3: Details the last 75,000 Part Transfers.

    Date Range: Filters to show Part Transfers made within the selected period.

    Processed Parts

    This report shows Parts that have been processed.

    A Part is considered "processed" when it is transferred from a Process Node that is tagged with the "Parts Processed Tag". This tag can be configured with the "Parts Processed Tag" Reporting Domain Setting (see Dock-to-Dock Report, above, to find the Settings).

    When a Part passes through multiple Process Nodes tagged with the "Parts Processed Tag", the report will show the latest one in the Recipe.

    Part price is provided only when the revenue generated from that part can be directly attributed.

    Production Days

    This report shows the count of days with production activity and the number of Parts Transfers on each day.

    Rack Throughput (Analog)

    This report shows Racks that have been processed.

    A Rack is considered "processed" when it is transferred from the last Process Node that is tagged with the "Parts Processed Tag" in a recipe. This tag can be configured with the "Parts Processed Tag" Domain Setting.

    Analog racking does not involve racking Parts manually within the Steelhead software. Instead, Part Numbers with Parts per Rack set on a Rack Type are assumed to have been racked. This is typical with auto-line processes.

    Rack Throughput (Digital)

    This report shows Racks that have been processed.

    A Rack is considered "processed" when it is transferred from the last Process Node that is tagged with the "Parts Processed Tag" in a recipe. This Tag can be configured with the "Parts Processed Tag" Domain Setting (see Dock-to-Dock Report, above, to find the Settings).

    Digital racking involves racking Parts within the Steelhead software.
