Labor actuals

The Actuals screen provides real‑time visibility into work progress for the selected warehouse activity. These tabs are displayed on the Actuals screen:

  • Activity
  • Labor

Activity tab (Assignment Picking)

This tab displays the upcoming work, user assignments, deadlines, estimated completion times, progress indicators, and workload distribution. This tab helps you understand the current workload, user allocation, and the predicted completion timelines to take informed decisions throughout the shift.

Assignments are consolidated based on these groups:

  • Created assignments: Assignments are generated when a wave is released.
  • Unreleased waves: Waves that are created or allocated, however not released. These assignments are displayed as aggregated lines.
  • Orders not on a wave: Orders that are not assigned to a wave. These assignments are grouped and aggregated based on the status.

The application performs a simulation to determine if orders complete on time or late, based on these rules:

  • The number of users assigned to the activity.
  • The scheduled or requested dates on orders, which determine the processing sequence.
  • The assignment order, which is sorted by scheduled date and time.

If you enable the Progress Switch option, the application displays the estimation completion time and progress in percentage for each assignment. The icons corresponding to each assignment displays if an assignment is on time, ahead of schedule, or late.

The left panel displays these key metrics:

  • Assigned Users: The total users working on the area or activity.
  • Idle In: The estimated time until all work is finished and users have no tasks left.
  • Total Effort: The total labor time for the day (hh:mm).
  • Completed: The labor time already completed (hh:mm).
  • Remaining: The labor time still required (hh:mm) to perform the activity.
  • Labor Needed: The additional labor time required to complete all work on time, based on simulation.

Full Pallet tab

This tab displays full pallet picking activities, including work to be completed, assigned users, deadlines, estimated completion times, status, estimated effort, completed work, and remaining work.

The No. of Pallets column displays the number of complete pallets calculated using the order quantity and pallet pack quantity. A full pallet is determined by dividing the order line quantity by the pallet pack quantity. Only complete pallets are included in the calculation. Any remaining quantity that does not form a complete pallet is excluded. For example, an order quantity of 220 with a pallet pack quantity of 100 results in 2 full pallets. The remaining 20 units are not included because they do not constitute a complete pallet.

The Full Pallet tab displays records in this order:

  • Released wave orders: Full pallet quantities are aggregated at the order level and displayed as a single record for each order.
  • Created or allocated waves: Waves that have been created or allocated but not yet released are displayed as aggregated records.
  • Orders not assigned to a wave: Orders are aggregated and displayed based on the status.
Note: For full pallet picks:
  • Assignments that are In progress cannot be modified.
  • Unassigned picks can be updated with the user and priority.
  • When a user is assigned, the application verifies if the user has permission to perform the pick and updates the tasks for the order. If the user does not have permission, an error message is displayed.

The application performs a simulation to determine if work is expected to be completed on time or late. The simulation considers:

  • The number of users assigned to the activity.
  • Order scheduled dates or requested dates.
  • The expected picking sequence.

If you enable the Progress Switch option, the application displays the estimated completion time and progress in percentage for each assignment. The icons corresponding to each assignment displays if an assignment is on time, ahead of schedule, or late.

The left panel displays these key metrics:

  • Assigned Users: The total users working on the area or activity.
  • Idle In: The estimated time until all work is finished and users have no tasks left.
  • Total Effort: The total labor time for the day (hh:mm).
  • Completed: The labor time already completed (hh:mm).
  • Remaining: The labor time still required (hh:mm) to perform the activity.
  • Labor Needed: The additional labor time required to complete all work on time, based on simulation.

Labor tab

This tab displays user assignments and performance information related to dock space, packing stations, and parcel packing flow. This tab comprises of these sections:

  • Work Summary table: Displays these columns in a table:
    • Time: The duration in hour for the selected day.
    • Work (hours): The amount of work scheduled for each hour.
    • Planned Users: The number of users planned in planning mode. This column is used in planning mode, and you cannot modify the value.
    • Assigned Users: The number of users assigned based on shift schedules and break configurations.
  • Chart: Displays if work is on track, ahead, or behind schedule.
  • User: Displays the users that are assigned to the activity. You can view, add, and assign users to perform the work associated with the activity during the specified time. See, Adding a user to an activity.
Note: The list of users displayed based on the value selected in the Shift field. For example, selecting First_Shift displays only users assigned to that shift.

These are the various chart types that are displayed on the Planning tab:

  • Work Progress Chart: Displays if work is ahead or behind schedule, using the planned or assigned users. This chart is available for all activities that include work‑due amounts and deadlines.
  • Parcel Packing Throughput Chart: Displays line items shipped through small‑parcel transportation modes. This chart is applicable to the outbound activities.
  • Estimated Dock Space Chart: Displays positive or negative dock space usage based on cubic volume. This chart applies to picking activities.
