Shipping Dashboard
Shipping Dashboard is a read-only overview page for the shipping area. It combines open-order tables, KPI value blocks, a schedule calendar, and summary charts so users can review shipping activity quickly and open related records from the dashboard.
Access: Orders -> Shipping -> Dashboard
Order Tables
The dashboard includes two open-order tables. In both tables, clicking the order opens the related record.
Orders By FIFO
Shows the top open shipping orders sorted by created date.
The table includes:
- Order
- Created
- Scheduled
- Status
Past-due scheduled dates are highlighted.
Orders By Scheduled Date
Shows the top open shipping orders sorted by scheduled date using the same core columns.
KPI Values
The dashboard shows these summary values:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Open Orders | Open, uncanceled shipping orders |
| On Time | Orders currently on time against scheduled date |
| Past Due | Orders whose scheduled date has passed |
| Backorders | Open orders that are not fully available |
| Orders this Month | Current-month order count |
| Last Month | Previous-month order count |
| Avg. Lead | Average lead time across recent orders |
| Avg. Qty | Average quantity across shipping-order data |
Scheduled Orders Calendar
The Scheduled Orders calendar displays both shipping orders and work orders on the same calendar.
Use it to:
- review scheduled activity by date
- switch between calendar views
- open a linked order or work-order record from the event
Charts
The dashboard includes these charts:
| Chart | Use |
|---|---|
| Orders by Customer | Shows open-order distribution by customer |
| Inventory Velocity | Shows received-versus-issued inventory activity |
| Monthly Sales | Shows monthly sales trend |
The Orders by Customer widget supports multiple chart-style views.
What the Dashboard Does Not Do
The page does not provide:
- widget customization
- alert configuration
- dashboard filters
- batch processing tools
- carrier-management tools
- customer-service utilities
Use the main shipping pages for transaction work instead of treating the dashboard as a control center.
