💶 Laundry Bill

What you need to pay each laundry for a chosen past month or week.

The Laundry Bill page (under Accounts) gives you a quick overview of what you owe each laundry for a period you choose — a whole month or a single week. It adds up every piece of linen that laundry washed and sent back in that period and prices it, so you can check or settle each laundry’s bill.

Choosing the period

  1. Open Accounts → Laundry Bill.
  2. Pick Month or Week with the two buttons.
  3. Use the date box to choose which past month (or week) you want — you can’t pick a future one.
  4. The page shows the exact dates it is covering next to the period, e.g. “August 2026 · 2026-08-01 → 2026-08-31”.

What the amount includes

The laundry bills for every piece it washed, whatever state it came back in. So the bill counts, for each returned batch:

  • Clean linen that went back on the shelf.
  • Still-dirty linen that came back not clean (it was still washed, so it is billed — it then goes to the Hardwash Queue for a re-wash).
  • Damaged linen that is sorted out after the wash. It was washed before anyone saw the damage, so the laundry bills it too.

Each piece is priced at that laundry’s own per-item price: the hard-wash price for a hard-wash (re-wash) return, and the normal price otherwise. Prices come from Linen Item Cleaning Prices.

Watch out Pieces lost in transit (sent but never arrived back) are not billed — you only pay for linen the laundry actually returned. Losses are tracked separately on Linen Losses.

Reading the page

  • The top card shows the grand total to pay for the period, plus how many pieces, how many were hard-wash and how many were damaged.
  • Below it, one card per laundry shows that laundry’s amount and piece counts.
  • Open Per-item breakdown on any laundry to see each linen item, its total pieces, how many of those were hard-wash and how many damaged, and the amount for that item.
  • Use ⬇ CSV to download the whole breakdown for your records or your accountant.

Property groups

If you use property groups, a Group selector appears next to the period. Pick a group to see only that group’s laundries and amounts, or Total for the whole operation (the default). A laundry invoices each group separately, so the per-group bills add up exactly to the Total.

Note “Hard-wash” and “damaged” are shown so you can see the special-priced and written-off pieces — they are already counted in the total pieces, never added on top (a damaged piece is also a normal- or hard-wash piece). The period is measured by the day each return was received back and approved (Malta time), so it lines up with the dashboard “Laundry cost” and the laundries’ own uploaded invoices.
Tip To settle a laundry, compare this page for the month with the invoice that laundry uploaded on Laundry Invoicing — the two are built from the same washed pieces and should match.
