Purpose

Compare simulated container timing, capacity and product quantities to support planning decisions. Viewing or filtering this report does not create, place, receive or change purchase orders or containers.

Before you start

You need access to Analytics, and Containers must be available for the selected webshop. The report uses the latest available container simulation run.

If Containers is not listed, confirm the selected webshop and ask your administrator, Customer Success Manager or Optiply support to check report access and availability.

Steps

  1. Select the webshop you want to review.
  2. Open Analytics → Containers, if available, and wait for the report to finish loading.
  3. Start with Demand per day to review simulated daily demand over the visible period.
  4. Review Container timeline to compare simulated placement and expected arrival dates and the container-level result.
  5. Review Orderline timeline. Use Filter products to focus on relevant products.
  6. Check the order-line table for product names, SKUs, quantities, prices and line values.
  7. Confirm the selected products, units and simulation context before using the results for planning.

How to read the report

  • Demand per day: what simulated daily demand is shown over the visible period?
  • Container timeline: how do the simulated placement and expected arrival dates compare?
  • Orderline timeline: when are the selected products expected in the simulated plan?
  • Order-line table: which products, quantities and values are assigned to each container?

The order-line table includes Placed Date, Container Id, Supplier Name, Webshop Product Name, Webshop Product SKU, Purchase Price, Quantity and Line Value.

Fields

Contents

  • Container Count: the number of distinct simulated containers.
  • Order Lines and Order Units: the simulated contents.

Value

  • Order Value: the simulated order value in the webshop currency.
  • Line Value: the sum of the selected order-line values, in the webshop currency.
  • Purchase Price: the average purchase price for the selected rows, rather than their total value.

Volume and weight

  • Order Volume and Volume Capacity: values in cubic metres.
  • Order Weight and Weight Capacity: values in kilograms.

Compare volume with volume capacity and weight with weight capacity; they use different units.

Fill and timing

  • Volume Fill, Weight Fill and Fill: percentages.
  • Lead Time and Days Covered: averages in days.

Capacity and fill percentages depend on the volume, weight and capacity data available in the latest simulation.

Expected result

The timelines and table show the latest available simulated container plan for the selected webshop and product filter. Filter products narrows the order-line view without changing product or order records.

Limitations

Containers is a simulation and planning view. It does not create, place, receive or change a purchase order or container. The report uses the latest simulation run and refreshes daily, so it can differ from live order or delivery records.

Use the report for planning comparisons. Check actual order status in Purchase and receipt status in Deliveries.

Errors and recovery

  1. If Containers is missing, confirm the selected webshop and ask your administrator, Customer Success Manager or support to check access and availability.
  2. If the report is blank or unexpected, clear Filter products and confirm the intended webshop is selected.
  3. Reload Containers and wait for the report to finish loading.
  4. Compare actual order status in Purchase and receipt status in Deliveries using the links above.
  5. If the issue remains, contact Optiply support to check recent simulation data and the required product, supplier and container inputs. Include the selected webshop, report name, product filter, and affected container or section. Do not send credentials or secret access links.
