Return Items from Laundry

Action: LAUNDRET

This function will return tracked & non-tracked items from Laundry/Dry Cleaning. The status of items on orders will be switched to Done.

In addition, when a tracked item is returned from laundry, it's inventory availability status is auto set to Available and the inventory STATUS is cleared.

When the item was on a order, the last order status is set to Done. Three methods may be used to select items for return from laundry.

  • By Serial number. Enter a tracked item's serial number and it will be displayed within grid.
  • By Bag number, Style code, Size and quantity. This method is used for non tracked items (those not using ID/Serial numbers) and requires a batch/bag number.
  • By Batch/Bag number. All items assigned to the Batch/Bag number still shown with status of in laundry will be displayed within grid.

The Send to Laundry may be utilized for auditing items in laundry. It can print items that were laundered within a Batch/Bag even when the items have been returned.

Use the lookup button to select the correct Bag/Batch number and launder date.
Any Bag/Batch number can be reused, on purpose or by accident so we recommend incorporating the launder date with the Bag/Batch number to avoid an accidental duplication.
