Fig. 26. Stock Record Form showing Orders Placed
A conventional form is shown in Fig. 26. The special feature of this form is a column for a record of orders placed. Usually this column is not required on the record of the stores clerk, but, if used, the order numbers should be entered from the receiving clerk's copy of the purchase order. On both of the forms illustrated several columns are provided for deliveries to one for receipts. This is necessary, as deliveries are in smaller quantities and much more frequent than receipts.
Fig. 27 shows a form that includes values as well as quantities. This is not considered necessary, as a rule, for the storeroom, but where the stores records are kept in the factory office, as is sometimes done, it is a good plan to include values. On the reverse side of this form a complete record of orders is kept.
Another form that includes values is shown in Fig. 28. This form is well adapted for a record of almost any class of material or supplies.
The form illustrated by Fig. 29 is specially adapted for a record of supplies. Under the head of distribution the department to which the supplies are issued is entered.

27. Parts and Finished Stores. A record of parts and finished stores is very essential in many manufacturing enterprises. The modern tendency in machinery manufacture, for instance, is to standardize production, making all parts interchangeable. Parts are manufactured in large quantities, on special orders, and placed in stock until needed.
