Laundry List Basic Procedures

Laundry Lists contain items that a customer purchases on a regular basis. You can use customer Laundry Lists in Order Entry when placing orders. Doing so can improve efficiency and also provide better customer service. To begin, set up a four-character identifier for each customer. Identifiers help you easily identify a particular customer's Laundry List. For example, the Widget Company customer could have WIDG as the customer's identifier. After you set up the customer's Laundry List identifier, you can add a laundry list.

Note: The Display Laundry List field in the (LG5) Additional Order Entry Parameters screen determines whether a Laundry List automatically displays in Order Entry. The Option field in the (L1) Terminal and Ticket Parameters screen must be set to B for the terminal you are using for the Laundry List feature to work in the Order Entry window. For more information, see Laundry List Parameters.

  1. Double-click graphics\CUSTOMERICON16.gif. The Customer window opens, displaying the information for the last customer used.

  2. Select the customer for which to add an identifier. For details, see Selecting a Customer.

  3. Click the Order Entry tab.

  4. Click the Laundry List ID box and enter the 4-character identifier, WIDG in the above example. (For information about the Laundry List ID box, see In the Customer Order Entry Tab.)

  5. When finished, click graphics\SAVE-SMALL16.gif to save the identifier. Go to Adding a Laundry List.
