What it records
ThreadCount records uniform stock for one facility and keeps three things in step.
- Who holds what. Every garment issued, returned, exchanged or handed in is written against a person on the staff register, so each person's holding is always current.
- The shelf, by size. Each garment in the catalogue has sizes, and each size has its own on-hand figure, reorder level and supplier code. Issues take stock off the shelf; deliveries and stock takes put it back or correct it.
- The order list. Sizes at or below their reorder level are gathered into one group per supplier, raised as orders, and received against when the delivery arrives.
All three come from the same records. A garment issued at the counter changes the person's holding and the shelf figure, and if the size drops to its reorder level it appears on the order list.
The menu
The menu down the left side lists the screens in this order.
| Screen | What it is for |
|---|---|
Today |
The day's queues: bags to collect, the delivery round, requests to pick, deliveries to receive and stock counts, with the first-run steps while a facility is setting up. |
Counter |
Pick the person, scan or pick the garment, record the issue. |
Stock |
On-hand figures by size, reorder levels and adjustments, stock counts, and locations. |
Orders |
Supplier orders, the order list and receiving. |
People |
The staff register and each person's record. Requests from the staff app sits with it. |
Reports |
The finance reports, on three tabs. |
Settings |
Facility, Issuing rules, Catalogue & suppliers, Places & cost centres, People & sign-in, Data & audit log, and Plan. |
Delivery rounds belongs with Today. The ? in each screen's heading opens its page in this manual.
On a narrow screen the bar along the bottom holds Today, Counter, Stock and More. More holds Orders, People, Requests, Delivery rounds, Reports, Settings, Help and the counter app.
Who signs in
The people who run the linen room sign in as users, and each user has one of two roles.
- Admin sets the facility up and makes the changes that affect everyone: the catalogue, reorder levels, the staff register, users and orders to suppliers.
- Issuer works the counter: issues, returns, requests, stock takes and deliveries.
The person who creates the facility is its first Admin. Staff who wear the uniform are not users. They sign in to the staff app with a separate account that shows their own record and the requests they are part of. The two roles sets out what each can do.
Where the manual lives
The same pages appear in three places.
- On the website, under
/docs. - In the app, under
Help. - In the Community edition's source repository,
pricehq/threadcount-community, in thedocs/manualfolder.
