All divisions should have a quantity of Internal Requisition Forms to be filled in whenever supplies are needed.

The person who requests the goods, signs his name at the bottom of the form and so does his department head. The exact reason why these goods are required should also be included on the Internal Requisition Form.

Only one type of requirement should be asked for on one form, e.g. “A Black Biro and a Red Biro”. This would be OK as it is just on the subject of pens. But “A Black Biro and a ream of foolscap paper” should be entered on two forms. This shows how many items each division orders per week.

Do not order extravagantly — you can only write with one pen at a time; otherwise the Supply Officer has to do the cutting down of requirements and this can lead to unnecessary ARC breaks.

All Internal Requisition Forms should be in the Supply Officer’s basket by 12.0 p.m. each day. If you have ordered goods since 12.0 p.m. the previous day, then you or a representative should go to the place appointed by the Supply Officer between 1.0 p.m. and 1.30 p.m., where the Supply Officer will issue the requirements.

The Supplies that are available at short notice are such items as; Folders of each division colour, paper of each division colour, black, red, green Biro pens, felt pens for poster work and make-up department, most envelopes, paper clips, drawing pins, typewriter ribbons, Sellotape, foolscap paper, ink for stamp pads, rubber bands, gummed labels and carbon paper.

However, if in doubt, present yourself at the appointed place between 1.0 and 1.30 p.m. The Supply Officer will then inform you if the requirement is in slock or if it has had to be ordered.

When a requirement has to be ordered, the Supply Officer will inform you when it arrives at Saint Hill. If it is a rush item, it can be issued as soon as it arrives, otherwise it is collected at the correct time.
