Each document opens in a new window and starts the browser's print dialog. If nothing opens, allow pop-ups for ThreadCount.

## The documents
|
|
|
|
| Document | Printed from | Paper |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Collection slip | `Counter`, the `Today` call list, `Requests` | A4 |
|
|
| Delivery slip | `Counter`, `Requests` | A4 |
|
|
| Order form | A staff record, `Requests`, a recorded approval | A4, one page |
|
|
| Credit slip | The approval block on `Counter`, a staff record's approvals | A5 landscape |
|
|
| Hand-in receipt | The hand-in dialog, a staff record's hand-ins | A5 landscape |
|
|
| Access slip | A staff record | A5 landscape |
|
|
|
|
Garment labels and the supplier purchase order print from the stock screens: see [Barcodes](/docs/stock/barcodes) and [Order list](/docs/stock/order-list).
|
|
|
|
## Collection and delivery slips
|
|
|
|
Both carry the facility logo, or `Organisation name on slips` from Settings, or the facility name. Both carry `Staff name`, and `Collection code` beside it for a request held at the counter.
|
|
|
|
When printed from a bag, `Garments — tick each one as it goes in the bag` lists each line. Up to 10 lines print; the rest show as `+<n> more lines — see the request in ThreadCount.`
|
|
|
|
| Slip | Fields | Signature |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `Uniform ready for collection` | Ward / Department, Date received, PO / Order no., Garments, Staff notified, Date notified | `Collected by (signature)`, `Date collected` |
|
|
| `Uniform ward delivery` | Ward / Department, Deliver to, Garments, PO / Order no., Date received, Requested by, Delivered by, Date / time | `Received on ward by (name + sign)` |
|
|
|
|
The footer is `Collection slip footer` or `Delivery slip footer` from Settings.
|
|
|
|
What each screen fills in:
|
|
|
|
- **Counter.** The stock and pre-loved lines, marked `(pre-loved)` where they are; ordered-in lines are left off. `Requested by` is the staff number and `Delivered by` is the coordinator named in Settings. The buttons work only when the bag could be recorded.
|
|
- **Requests.** The approved lines, with the cut named unless unisex. `PO / Order no.` is the request code. A request on the ward round prints a delivery slip, any other a collection slip. A declined request has no slip.
|
|
- **Today.** Name, ward, garment count, the order reference, date received, and a `Phone` tick once contacted. No garment list.
|
|
|
|
## Order form
|
|
|
|
The form the manager signs. It prints three ways:
|
|
|
|
- From a staff record, with the person's details filled in and blank garment rows.
|
|
- From a request on `Requests`, with the garments written on and declined lines left off. A request still waiting prints with the manager's block blank.
|
|
- From a recorded approval, as a copy. It prints the date, sets, FTE and manager's name as signed. Every other field prints blank, and `Signature (on the signed sheet)` stays empty.
|
|
|
|
It has a `Staff member signature` line, a `Manager / financial delegate approval` block with signature, position and date, and a block for the linen room: date ordered, PO number, value, invoice number, stock received, date collected and staff signature. See [Manager approvals](/docs/counter/manager-approvals).
|
|
|
|
## Credit slip, hand-in receipt and access slip
|
|
|
|
- **Credit slip.** `Uniform Credit`, the sets left on one approval (`2 of 5 sets remaining`), the person, who approved it and when, the FTE and notes. It tells the person to bring the slip or their payroll number to collect the rest.
|
|
- **Hand-in receipt.** Each garment, size, quantity and condition, `unlaundered` where marked, how many went to the pre-loved pool and to rag disposal, and whether the allowance was credited ([Exchanges and returns](/docs/counter/exchanges-and-returns)).
|
|
- **Access slip.** The one-time code a person uses to claim their staff-app account, with the steps ([Staff app](/docs/apps/staff-app)).
|
|
|
|
## Signatures
|
|
|
|
ThreadCount does not read ink. What it records:
|
|
|
|
| Where | What is recorded | By |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| An issue | The `signed` tick | You, in the issue history, after the slip is signed |
|
|
| A delivery on `Delivery rounds` | The drawn signature as an image, the receiver's name, and the `signed` tick on the issues | The receiver, on screen |
|
|
| A request bag on the ward round | The signer's name, role and time; no image | The ward desk, in the staff app |
|
|
| A manager's approval | A photo of the signed order form, if taken | You, when recording it |
|
|
|
|
`Today`'s `Receipts not yet signed` counts issues without the tick that have not been returned or handed in.
|
|
|
|
How drawn signatures and photos are stored and removed is on [Delivery rounds](/docs/counter/delivery-rounds).
|
|
|
|
> **In plain terms** Paper carries the signature; ThreadCount carries a tick, a name, or a picture of the paper.
