Authorization of issues
Stock in store represents money and should not be misappropriated, wasted or improperly used.
For this reason, issues cannot be made indiscriminately and, before goods are withdrawn from the storehouse, there must be some authority before transaction. This may be in the form of a signed document, verbal instruction or routine arrangement. The normal method is to use an issue note signed in the appropriate box by an authorized person. Storekeepers should have full details of the names, designations and specimen signatures of all persons empowered to approve issue notes.
Timing of issues
So as to avoid delay in busy storehouse, there will be a routine to provide for a smooth even flow of work. Arrangements may be made for issues to some departments to made in the morning and some in the afternoon.
