The call list is the `Call to collect` group on `Today`. It holds every pickup that has arrived and has not been picked up or delivered, except the bags going out on a delivery round.
|
||||
|
||||
## How a line joins it
|
||||
|
||||
A pickup starts as an order for a staff member, raised with `Order in` on [Counter](/docs/counter/issue-a-garment), or with `Order for a person` on `Orders` ([The To order list](/docs/stock/order-list)).
|
||||
|
||||
When the delivery is received, each line goes to `Shelf` or `Pickup`. Pickup lines become one pickup for that person; shelf lines go into stock. A short delivery is split off as a back order. See [Receiving and back orders](/docs/stock/receiving-and-back-orders).
|
||||
|
||||
The garments count towards the person's ceiling from the day they are ordered.
|
||||
|
||||
## Call to collect or the round
|
||||
|
||||
A pickup goes to `Deliver on the round` instead when nobody has called about it and the person's ward has an active person with the ward-desk flag. Pressing `Mark called` on a person's record moves it back to `Call to collect`. See [Delivery rounds](/docs/counter/delivery-rounds).
|
||||
|
||||
A group with nothing in it is not shown. When the whole queue is empty, `Today` reads `Nothing in the queue.`
|
||||
|
||||
## Reading the list
|
||||
|
||||
Rows are sorted by days waiting, longest first. Days waiting runs from the received date to today.
|
||||
|
||||
Each row shows the days waiting, the person's name and phone number (a call link where the device can dial), each garment with size and quantity, the order code, and `contacted` once called.
|
||||
|
||||
A pickup waiting 14 days or more is flagged. Those pickups count towards the `overdue` figure in the `Today` heading. The rail badge shows everything in the queue, not the overdue figure; an overdue pickup only changes the badge's colour.
|
||||
|
||||
## Called, slip, picked up
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Ring them, then press `Mark called`.** The button goes and the row reads `contacted`. No screen unmarks it.
|
||||
2. **Print the `Slip`** if the bag needs one. It carries the name, ward, number of garments, the order's reference (or its code), the date received, and a tick against `Phone` under `Staff notified` once called. `Date notified` prints blank. It does not list the garments.
|
||||
3. **Press `Picked up`** when they collect. The row leaves the list.
|
||||
|
||||
The same pickups are under `Waiting for her`, `him` or `them` on a person's `Uniform` tab, with `Mark called` and `Picked up`. The search panel lists them under `Waiting`, with `Picked up`.
|
||||
|
||||
When two people work the list at once, a refusal is shown above the rows. Pressing `Picked up` on a pickup already collected changes nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is written
|
||||
|
||||
| Record | Change | Undo |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Pickup | Contacted | No screen clears it |
|
||||
| Pickup | Picked up today | No screen reverses it |
|
||||
| Issue | One row per line: today's date, condition `New`, today's catalogue cost, the order code, marked as collected | Record a return from the person's record |
|
||||
|
||||
Picking up makes no ceiling check and stamps no ceiling override. It stamps `offGroup` or `offStyle` on a garment outside the person's staff group or uniform style.
|
||||
|
||||
It refuses one case: `Size <size> is no longer on <garment> — fix the catalogue before marking this picked up`. Put the size back on the garment, then press `Picked up` again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Hold period
|
||||
|
||||
A pickup has no hold period. Nothing expires: it stays until it is picked up or delivered. The 14-day flag marks it and does nothing else.
|
||||
|
||||
A staff request held at the counter carries a `Held until` note ([Requests from staff](/docs/counter/requests-from-staff)), and a waitlist offer is held for 48 hours. Neither applies to pickups.
|
||||
|
||||
> **In plain terms** The list is a queue of phone calls, and nothing leaves it on its own.
|
||||
|
||||
The counter app's `Pickups` screen works the same list. See [Counter app](/docs/apps/counter-app).
