Laundry

Track laundry requests, item counts, service types, and fees.

Overview

Laundry manages student requests for washing, ironing, and dry cleaning with itemized counts and configurable fees. It standardizes turnaround, enforces limits if needed, and keeps a transparent record for billing and service quality.

• Workflow: Draft → Submitted → In Progress → Completed with pickup/delivery dates.
• Pricing: Auto‑calculate fees per service × quantity; override when allowed.
• Controls: Optional item caps per period; warnings and blocks on exceedance.

How It Works

• Each request has a state: Draft → Submitted → In Progress → Completed.
• Fees can be set per item type and multiplied by quantity.
• Delivery date is set when completed if not already provided.

Step‑by‑Step Guide

• Go to Services → Laundry → New.
• Choose Student, Service Type (Wash/Iron/etc.), Quantity, and Building (optional).
• Submit and process the request. Mark as Completed when done.
