Most storerooms are full of inexpensive items and 90 percent of stores transactions are for low-value routine materials related to nonproductive requirements.
Acquisition of supplies from the company storerooms in most cases is a relatively simple process.
A standard three-part requisition form is usually used to initiate the transaction. Materials and supplies are usually received by the requisitioning department in less than 24 hours.
The inventory system is then updated. This process is continued until some predetermined reorder point is activated and storeroom replenishment occurs.
