🧺 Wash & Returns

What went out to the laundry (hard-wash vs normal) and what came back clean β€” by period, group, laundry and item.

The Wash & Returns page (in the Statistics group) shows the movement of linen to and from your laundries: how much you sent out β€” split into hard-wash and normal β€” and how much came back clean. It reads straight from the linen ledger (the exact dirty-out and clean-in movements), so the pieces and kg always reconcile with the At Laundries and On Shelf columns.

Choose the window with the Period drop-down (Last 7 days, This month, and so on) and, if you use property groups, a Group β€” the whole page follows both.

  • Hard-wash pieces β€” pieces sent on a hard-wash (re-wash) bag, with their kg.
  • Normal pieces β€” everything else sent to the laundry, with kg.
  • Total sent β€” the two added together, in pieces and kg.
  • Hard-wash bags and Normal bags β€” how many bags (dispatches) actually went to a laundry in the period.
  • Clean pieces received β€” clean linen that came back On Shelf (a Linen-Matching receipt or a single-step delivery).
  • Awaiting receipt β€” clean the laundry has sent back but you have not confirmed yet (shown only when there is some; it is context, never added into β€œreceived”).

Bags vs pieces

A bag is one dispatch you sent to a laundry; pieces are the individual items inside those bags. The headline pieces and kg come from the linen ledger, so they are exact; the bag count comes from the dispatch records and answers β€œhow many hard-wash bags did we send” β€” the question this page was built to answer.

Tip Each table β€” By property group, By laundry and By item β€” has a ⬇ CSV button (opens in Excel) that respects the period and group you have chosen.
Note Sent = the dirty linen booked out to a laundry; Returned = clean linen received back. A hard-wash send is one flagged as a re-wash; returns are not split hard/normal because a clean receipt carries no wash type. This page is for administrators and power users.
