3. For the folding area, enter the assigned barcode number in the 'Barcode of Folding Location' field, ensuring the 'Use Barcode Scanner to Assign Orders' toggle is enabled.

4. Ensure to click the green 'Submit' button to save these changes.


Assigning Orders through Barcode Scanning

2. Begin by scanning the order receipt, followed by scanning the barcode on the relevant washer to associate the order with the corresponding machine.

3. After the washing cycle is complete, rescan the order receipt, and then scan the barcode on the corresponding dryer to assign the order to the drying section.

4. Once the order is dried, complete the process by scanning the order receipt and then the barcode in the folding area to assign the order to the folding section.

πŸš€ By following these steps, you streamline your laundry workflow, ensuring accurate and efficient assignment of orders to specific machines and workflow stages.
