    CHAPTER III
    WAREHOUSE AND STORAGE OPERATION
    Section I. (Superseded.) COMMON STORAGE AND COLD STORAGE: PROTECTION, ARRANGEMENT, AND HANDLING OF SUBSISTENCE SUPPLIES IN THE WAREHOUSE.
    27.	Protection
    a.	Protection of sales commissary supplies involves selection of proper storage space and proper operation of such space to protect the supplies against deterioration; also proper control of that space to protect the supplies against misappropriation.
    b.	The protection of subsistence supplies from deterioration will normally require the use of two types of storage space: inclosed ordinary warehouse space and cold storage space.
    c.	Further protection of subsistence supplies will be effected by regular medical inspection of food handlers as provided in current directives. Medical inspection cards will be posted in the commissary. The sales officer will also have all products on hand examined at least once each month to make certain that supplies are sound and in a serviceable condition.
    d.	The protection of supplies from misappropriation will be best accomplished by minimizing the possibility of easy misappropriation. Adequate supervision of labor details, the assignment of the responsibility for locking each warehouse and section therein when supplies are not being received, stored, or issued, and the prevention of unauthorized persons from entering warehouse premises unless accompanied by personnel of the commissary, will reduce misappropriation. Small items of subsistence will not be stacked close to doors or left on the loading dock where they can be readily picked up with the items being issued. All eating in commissary warehouses will be prohibited.
    AGO 1003A—June 637501°—45
    28.	Broad Objectives—-Warehousing
    The broad objectives to be sought in the storage of material may be obtained by consulting M 402, Depot Operations: Storage, and supplements thereto. The applicable objectives prescribed therein are, in general, as follows:
    a.	A careful analysis will be made of existing storage facilities to determine if space is being adequately utilized. Excess space no longer required by the sales commissary will be made available for the storage of other supplies of suitable character.
    b.	Standardized stacking practices will be followed.
    c.	Aisles will be limited to the minimum necessary for access to supplies and will be no wider than required for free movement of supplies and equipment.
    d.	Supplies will be stored in rows running forward from the back of each storage space to the aisle. They will be withdrawn by rows and not by proximity to the aisle.
    e.	If desired by the sales officer, a locator system suited to the size of the subsistence bulk storage and as near as practical to that outlined in paragraph 20c, M 402, may be used to facilitate the location of supplies.
    /. Manpower and equipment will be efficiently utilized. Labor will be centrally controlled by a “Labor Distribution Center.” Supervisory personnel only will be assigned to each warehouse, but the labor needed to move supplies in and out and do other necessary work will be supplied as required to meet the daily work load. In the course of a day, the same person may work at several different locations at the sales commissary, or only part of the day in a subsistence warehouse and the rest of the
    1
    IM I OU LaoriFiiA
    day in another location according to the work load. Except where circumstances make it impractical, subsistence supplies will be unloaded directly to their final location in the warehouse. Double handling within the warehouse will be eliminated. Personnel assigned to work inside the cold storage plant should be provided with suitable warm coats, caps, and cotton fabric gloves.
    29.	Common S t o r a g e—Nonperishable Supplies
    a.	The inclosed common warehouse space must be dry, protected from rodents and vermin, and may be either heated or unheated. Nonperishable subsistence keeps best when stored in a cool dry place. In climates where low temperatures are common, the use of heated space is desirable whenever available. While freezing should be avoided, it does not seriously injure most items. Although the appearance of certain types of food may be adversely affected, their food value remains unchanged. Such heated space as is available should first be used to store high-water content glass goods and canned goods. Containers of foods with high-water content such as cherries, lima beans, and string beans are liable to burst if the contents expand in freezing. Precautionary measures will be taken to prevent such freezing, but unless the containers are ruptured the contents will generally be suitable for use.
    b.	The distribution depot supplying the station may direct, upon an allocation to it of excess storage space at the station, that nonperishable subsistence supplies be stored at a station for depot accountability. Items so stored will be segregated in the warehouse from stocks for which the sales officer is accountable and will be clearly marked to distinguish them as depot stocks. The same objectives will be sought in the storage of these supplies as are here outlined for the storage of items of station stock.
    (i)	Small items, loose supplies, and small packages will be stored in bins. These bins will be so placed as to prevent ready access thereto by other than authorized personnel.
    (2)	Sensitive items will be kept in a locked room.
    c.	Items of subsistence supplies will be arranged in each warehouse to facilitate their receipt, protection from deterioration, repackaging if necessary, and issue. This involves proper stacking and binning of nonperishable supplies. Small items will be placed in bins. Large packages that must be opened for purposes of issue will be moved to a particular section of the warehouse where repackaging or break-down will be done. The repackaged or loose supplies will be placed in bins in the location where the same items are already stored.
    d.	Only a small section of bins in the non-perishable warehouse will be set aside for processing turned-in supplies. These items will be processed immediately upon receipt. Those that by inspection are determined to be in satisfactory condition will be returned to stock for issue, and those unfit for issue placed to one side until a sufficient quantity has accumulated to justify the inspection or survey thereof. Items such as beans infested by weevils, infested dried fruits, products with dry rot, and other items which may infest warehouse stocks will be immediately removed from the warehouse to avoid infestation of regular stocks. The processing of turned-in items will include their inspection for damage and such exterior cleaning as may be necessary to assure the acceptability of the items.
    e.	All containers (boxes, cartons, sacks, etc.) of nonperishable subsistence supplies, from which only a part of the contents has been removed, will be stored in a locked room or “fenced-off area” where pilferage will not occur. Such partially filled containers shall be transferred to sales store stocks if their reissue does not occur again for several'days.
    30.	Cold Storage—Perishable Supplies
    a. GENERAL. (1) More than one-half of the weight of the Garrison Ration and Type “A” Field Ration is composed of perishable items and most of these perishable food items require refrigeration.
    (2)	Although nearly all foods are perishable to some extent in that deterioration takes place
    2
    AGO 1003A
    with age, the following items are those which are customarily classed as perishables:
    Meat and meat products.
    Fish and other water food products. Poultry, eggs, and dairy products. Fresh fruits and vegetables.
    Frozen foods.
    (3)	The increasing public knowledge about food values and the part that refrigeration plays in protecting and preserving these values has caused refrigeration to become classed as essential to the health and welfare of our people. Consumer demand for a variety of quality merchandise of high nutritive value and competition among producers and processers in supplying this demand have influenced the use of refrigeration in marketing practically all perishable foods. All who contribute in any way to the handling, preparation, protection, preservation, transport, and distribution of perishable foods are involved in this concern for quality and should have an understanding of how to apply refrigeration in this connection.
    (4)	Wilting, softening, loss of weight, loss of part of the vitamin content, discoloration, molding, rotting, sliming, souring, and insect infestation are some of the types of spoilage which may occur with perishable foods. This tendency of spoilage may be accelerated by one or any combination of the following conditions: warmth, moisture, excessive dryness, excessive air currents, partial freezing and subsequent thawing, lack of ventilation for fruits and vegetables, destructive low temperatures for certain fruits and vegetables, contamination by obnoxious odors, contamination by insects, rodents, and filth, and rough handling. Refrigeration facilities properly designed and properly operated can be used to control to a great extent the inherent tendency of perishable food stuffs to spoil rapidly.
    b. CENTRAL COLD STORAGE DISTRIBUTING PLANT. (1) The central cold storage plants at stations located in the zone of interior are designed for the purpose of distribution as distinguished from commercial establishments and port facilities where a product is customarily carried for seasonal periods. The
    design of these plants is based upon a replenishment interval of 7 days and generous allowance has been made for contingencies. Some items may not be carried more than 2 or 3 days whereas it may be necessary to carry other items for a period of a few weeks in order that full economic advantage may be taken of market conditions and transportation. The operating temperatures established are slightly higher than those in commercial and port facilities. Lower temperatures are more expensive to maintain and are considered unnecessary in a distribution plant. The central cold storage distributing plant usually contains four or more rooms each designed for a definite purpose: a freezer storage room for the storage of all frozen items; a chill room for the storage of fresh carcass meat, smoked meats, and other meat products; a so-called “cooler room” for shell eggs and dairy products; and another “cooler room” for fresh fruits and vegetables. In addition, at the larger installations there is provided a large cooler room which may be carried at about 400 F. for the fruits and vegetables which are best carried at the higher temperature, or which are less perishable.
    (2) It is important that certain perishable food items be stored separately from others to avoid contamination; for example, shell eggs or butter will never be stored in the same room with fresh fruits or vegetables or with smoked hams or bacon because this would cause the shell eggs and butter to develop highly objectionable off-flavors.
    (3) Fresh unfrozen fish, loose frozen fish, smoked or pickled fish will not be allowed to be handled on the premises of the cold storage plant. When this product is received, it will be handled at some other location away from stored subsistence items and issued promptly to organizations.
    c. OPERATION OF FREEZER STORAGE ROOM (AT io° F.). (1) The freezer storage room will be maintained at a temperature of io° F. with the least possible fluctuation.
    (2)	All food items which are received frozen and which are to be carried in a frozen state until immediately preceding issuance will be
    AGO 1003A
    3
    stored in the freezer storage room. The following is a specimen list of such items:
    Meat and meat products received frozen. Smoked ham and bacon received frozen. Poultry received frozen.
    Fish and other water food products received frozen—in clean containers relatively free from odor.
    Fruits and vegetables received frozen.
    Fruit juices and fruit pulp received frozen.
    Frozen fish will be in clean containers relatively free from odor to avoid contaminating other products which may be stored in the freezer storage room.
    (3)	Product which is received solidly frozen and at a temperature of not to exceed 20° F. may be piled into compact stacks.
    (4)	Product which is received solidly frozen but at a temperature above 20° F. will be stacked with ventilating stripping between tiers.
    (5)	Items which are received in a slightly defrosted condition, if accepted, will be refrozen without delay in order to prevent spoilage. This type of product will be distributed widely over the available floor area with free space between the individual packages. When the package is exceptionally large and when it is practical to do so, the contents will be removed from the containers and distributed in such a manner that they will refreeze rapidly. The use of a portable fan to produce a pronounced current of air over the product will hasten the rate of refreezing. It is usually unnecessary to take any special precautions in this respect with most carcass meat since air space will be naturally present throughout the product when piled. Two- by 4-inch lumber dunnage is advisable between sides of veal which need to be refrozen, to prevent the product from being too closely packed.
    (6)	Avoid any pronounced circulation of the air in the freezer storage rooms except when items are to be refrozen under emergency conditions. Excessive circulation causes shrinkage through dehydration, discoloration, and “‘freezer burn” damage. Where mechanical air circulation refrigeration units are used, the slowest possible fan speed will generally pro
    duce an equal temperature throughout the room.
    (7)	The freezer storage room will not be used for the purpose of initially freezing any food item except under emergency conditions, since the refrigeration equipment capacity is insufficient for that purpose and the rate of freezing will be very slow. In general, the slow freezing of any flesh product will result in a distinct loss of quality.
    d.	OPERATION OF MEAT CHILL ROOM (30° TO 320 F.). (1) The meat chill room will be maintained at a temperature of 300 to 320 F. with the least possible fluctuation. The temperature of this room will not be lowered below 30° F. In the event that no other suitable space is available and that frozen carcass meat is received in this room, the temperature will be raised to 38° to 40° F. to permit complete defrosting prior to issuance.
    (2)	Following is a specimen list of items which will be stored in the meat chill room:
    Meat and meat products, fresh.
    Poultry, fresh.
    Ham and bacon, smoked or salted.
    Meat and meat products, frozen, to be defrosted,
    Fresh pork and fresh pork sausage are best stored in a temperature of 26° to 28° F.; however, it is not practical to provide a special room for this purpose. Therefore, such products will be placed in the coldest part of the meat chill room and the storage period will be limited to 48 hours. The product will be carried frozen for any longer storage period.
    (3)	The temperature of the meat chill room will not be permitted to go below 30° F. because this will result in a slow freezing action which will adversely affect the quality of the product.
    (4)	Air movement in the chill room will be sufficient only to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the room. Damage through shrinkage and discoloration will result from high velocity air impinging directly on the stored product.
    e.	OPERATION OF SHELL EGG AND DAIRY PRODUCTS COOLER ROOM AT 350 F. (1) The shell egg and dairy products cooler room will be maintained at a tempera
    4
    AGO 1003A
    ture of 350 F. with the least possible fluctuation.
    (2)	Air motion in the room will be just sufficient to maintain a uniform temperature throughout the room, since high velocity will cause shrinkage and loss of quality in shell eggs.
    (3)	Following is a specimen list of products which will be stored in the shell egg and dairy products cooler room:
    Eggs, in shell.
    Eggs, dried.
    Cheese, American Cheddar or processed types.
    Milk, fresh or dried.
    Cream.
    Butter.
    Oleomargarine.
    Lard and lard substitutes.
    Yeast, compressed, packaged.
    Lard and lard substitutes may be carried successfully for 2 or 3 weeks where the prevailing temperature is not higher than 65° F. These products may be stored in the shell egg and dairy products room or in the meat chill room. These products will not be placed in a confined space with fresh fruits or fresh vegetables.
    f.	OPERATION OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES COOLER ROOM AT 350 F. (1) The fresh fruits and vegetables cooler room will be maintained at a temperature of 350 F. with the least possible fluctuation.
    (2) Pronounced air velocity will be avoided to prevent wilting, shrinkage, and loss of vitamin content.
    (3) This room is designed for the more perishable fruits and vegetables. Following is a specimen list of the items to be stored:
    Vegetables:
    Artichokes
    Asparagus
    Beans, green or wax, snap
    Beans, green limas
    Beets, small, with tops
    Broccoli
    Brussel sprouts
    Cabbage, native or Chinese Carrots, small, with tops Cauliflower
    Celery
    Corn, green
    Endives
    V egetables—Continued
    Lettuce
    Okra
    Peas, green pod
    Peppers, bell and fresh pod Radishes
    Spinach
    Turnips, small, with tops
    Fruits:
    Apricots
    Berries, all varieties Cherries
    Currants, fresh Cranberries Figs, fresh Grapes, all varieties Nectarines Peaches Pears, Bartlett Plums, all varieties Watermelons, for chilling
    g. OPERATION OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ROOM AT 40° F. (1) Where refrigeration is available and it is possible to do so, this room will be carried at a temperature of 40° F. In the event that refrigeration is not available, the room will be well ventilated, particularly during the cool hours of nighttime, and kept closed as much as possible during the daytime. In the winter it may be necessary to heat the room to prevent it from going below 38° F.
    (2) The items stored in this room will be such products as may be carried satisfactorily for from a few days to 2 or 3 weeks at the prevailing temperature.
    (3) Following is a specimen list of items which may be stored in the ventilated or 40° F. fruits and vegetables room:
    Apples (see («) below)
    Avocados
    Bananas
    Beets, large, mature, without tops Casabas
    Citrus fruits, all varieties (see (Z») below) Cucumbers (see (c) below)
    Dates
    Egg plant (see (r) below)
    Fruits, dried, all varieties (see (d) below)
    Melons, honeydew
    AGO 1003A
    5
    Onions
    Parsnips
    Pears, except Bartlett (see (?) below) Peppers, cured pod
    Potatoes, white and sweet
    Pumpkins Rutabagas Squash, Hubbard Squash, Summer (see (c) below) Tomatoes (see (r) below) Turnips, large, without tops Glucose, syrups
    Honey
    Meat, canned (see (/) below)
    Milk, evaporated, canned (see (g) below)
    Molasses
    Nuts
    Oil, cooking Pickles
    (a) Apples, in general, may be stored quite satisfactorily for several days in ventilated storage space since they are naturally a hardy fruit with good keeping qualities. Many varieties may be stored successfully in the early part of the season without the use of refrigeration al-through there are certain early varieties which do not keep well except under refrigeration. The highest quality will be maintained with the apples carried under refrigeration, and refrigeration will always be used for apples which have been carried 2 or 3 months beyond harvest.
    (£) Citrus fruits may usually be carried successfully for a few days in ordinary ventilated storage. It is most advisable, however, to store this product under refrigeration to maintain the highest quality. In general, storage temperatures below 400 F. will be avoided to prevent injury to the fruit. Citrus fruits will never be stored with fresh meat or with shell eggs and dairy products. Since molds are the chief causes of the destruction of citrus fruits, decayed fruit will not be allowed to remain in the storage room.
    () A single central aisle about 4 feet wide will extend through the room from the entrance doorway straight to the farthest wall. Rooms which are more than 30 feet wide are usually provided with two doors, in which case two aisles will extend through the room from the entrance doorways to the farthest wall. No other aisles in the room are necessary. When a shipment of perishable subsistence arrives at the plant, the supervising officer will assign the shipment a lot number and lay out the floor area required (or in the case of fresh chilled carcass meat the footage of track to be used) for each lot, select a location, and direct the building of the stacks.
    6
    AGO 1003A
    (2)	Stacking. Packaged items and frozen carcass meat will be stacked neatly and compactly. Starting 4 to 6 inches from the wall, these stacks will extend in rows in a single block to the edge of the central aisle. The width of the face of the stack will depend upon the total volume of the lot. Products will not be stored closer than 18 inches from the top of the stack to the ceiling. In rooms with ceilings 9 to 10 feet above the floor and when space is short, except for sacked goods, the stacks will be built to a height of 7 feet or more to take full advantage of the available storage space. Product will not be permitted to come in contact with the floors, walls, cooling coils or units. Sacked vegetables will not be stacked more than four or five bags high to prevent crushing the product in the bottom sacks. A good method is to place the first tier of bags on end, and then one or two more tiers may be placed lying flat. Where space for sacked goods is short, racks may be built with removable decking about 5 feet above the floor which will permit additional storage space for this product.
    (3)	Shelving. In general, shelving will be avoided. Some small amount may be desirable for carrying contents of broken packages. However, shelving will not be installed where it interferes in any way with the full utilization of floor area for stacking merchandise or where it will result in unsanitary conditions.
    (4)	Dunnage. Floor dunnage will be used for sanitary reasons and to permit the free movement of cold air under the stack. A 2-inch space is sufficient. The most suitable form of floor dunnage is loose 2- by 4-inch lumber in 4- to 6-foot lengths. This floor dunnage will be picked up and placed out of the way as the row is broken down for delivery. Heavy floor racks, duckboards, or platforms are entirely unnecessary. They are expensive to build; they are wasteful of floor space; they contribute to unsanitary conditions and prevent the movement of handling equipment directly to the face of the stack and, therefore, increase the amount of labor needed for handling merchandise. Where cold storage space is at a premium, skid platforms will not be used for floor dunnage because the height of the stack is thereby limited to the load on the skid, and vertical storage space is lost. Skid platforms are han
    dling equipment and will be used as such, not as storage equipment.
    (5)	'Ventilation within the stac\. (a) Fresh fruits and vegetables that are to be carried beyond a day or two require ventilation within the stack. Usually the packages can be arranged with open spacing in the stack in order that the product may be cooled satisfactorily and in order that any volatile products given off may be carried away.
    (Z») Shell eggs in wooden cases that are to be carried only a few days need not be stacked with separating stripping; however, if the eggs are to be carried beyond a week or two, or if the eggs are received in fiberboard cartons, each tier of the stack will be stripped with thin boards or laths to provide ventilation within the stack.
    (c) Boxes or cartons containing fresh meat, smoked meat, and fresh meat products to be carried in the meat chill room will be separated by stripping with laths or thin boards in order to provide suitable circulation of cold air around each container.
    (<7) Meat and meat products, poultry, frozen fruits and vegetables, etc. which are received solidly frozen at a temperature of not to exceed 200 F. may be stored without provision for stack ventilation, although it is important that the stack be separated from the wall by a distance of 4 to 6 inches and supported on the floor by dunnage at least 2 inches thick. Product which is received at a temperature higher than 200 F. will be stacked with stripping or arranged with open spacing to permit rapidly lowering the product to room temperature.
    () Heavy duty two-wheeled barrow-handled hand trucks are useful for handling barreled goods and product received in 100-pound sacks.
    (r) Where sufficient working space is available for assembling issue orders in advance, hand-lift jacks and skid platforms will be found useful in reducing handling time. The platform skid dimensions should be similar to the platform trucks, that is, 30 to 36 inches wide and 60 to 72 inches long.
    (2) Accurate scales maintained in good working condition will be in use at the cold storage plant for check weighing merchandise received and for weighing out small issue orders.
    (3) The quartermaster sales officer is responsible for establishing the operating temperatures of the individual rooms in the cold storage plant as set forth in this manual. Mercury column indicating thermometers will be located in each room and periodic readings will be taken to be certain that the established temperatures are being reasonably maintained. The most suitable thermometer is one with 9-inch scales graduated in one degree divisions and with magnified reading over a range of from minus io° F. to plus 70° F.
    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. (1) Wherever temperatures below freezing are maintained, an alarm signal will be installed which can be operated from a location within the room. A long-handled ax will be hung in a suitable place near the exit door for the use of any person accidentally locked in the freezer storage room.
    (2)	Small meat hooks and meat trolley hooks which are not actually in use will be placed out of the way to prevent injury to workmen.
    (3)	Nails partially driven into columns and walls at face level have caused serious injury to workmen. This hazard will be removed. It is particulaly dangerous to workmen who wear eyeglasses which have a tendency to fog up in passing through changing temperatures.
    8
    AGO 1003A
    (4)	Double-swing vestibule doors are installed to prevent the waste of refrigeration when the main refrigerator doors are opened. Workmen will pass carefully through these doors in order to avoid collisions. Those wearing eyeglasses will be particularly careful to guard against being struck by the swinging doors.
    Z. CARE AND SANITATION. (1) Sound judgment and careful attention to sanitation are essential for the successful handling of all food products.
    (2) The entire premises will be maintained at all times in a clean, neat, and orderly manner. Merchandise will be handled carefully to avoid damage. Nearly all food products are damaged by bruising; therefore, rough handling will not be tolerated at any time.
    (3) The use of smoking or chewing tobacco will not be permitted within the cold storage plant. “No Smoking” signs will be placed in all rooms and compartments of the cold storage plant and the rule will be rigidly enforced.
    m. MAXIMUM STORAGE PERIODS FOR VARIOUS PRODUCTS UNDER VARIOUS STORAGE TEMPERATURES AND CONDITIONS. (1) General, (a) The tabulation herein is for the purpose of indicating the recommended maximum storage period for various perishable products, under five classifications based upon the service and segregation required.
    (Z») This information has been compiled from many reliable sources where scientific research has been involved and likewise from the practical experience of those engaged in the cold storage and food industries.
    (<;) It is recognized that there may be exceptions, because the initial quality of the product and the skill with which the plant is operated and the design of the plant will influence the period of successful storage. However, the temperatures, service classifications, and storage periods listed are considered to" be average under the known circumstances.
    (2) Freezer storage room—temperature io° F.
    Product	Maximum storage period
    Butter and cream, frozen... 3 to 4 months. Meat and meat products,
    frozen................. 3	to 4 months.

    ' Fish, frozen, packaged..... 3 to 4 months.
    Fruits and vegetables, frozen. 3 to 4 months.
    Fruits juices and pulp, frozen........................ 3	to 4 months.
    NOTE: Where it is desired to carry the above products for a longer storage period, it is advisable to lower the storage temperature to o° F. and maintain constant temperature conditions. At ports of embarkation or other locations where these products are stored for reshipment, o° F. temperature should likewise be provided. Delivery from a o° F. room offers greater protection to products which are subject to exposure during loading operations.
    (3) Eggs and dairy products room—temperature 35° F.
    Product	Maximum storage period
    Buttermilk................. 36 hours.

    By order of the Secretary of War:
    30.1 In and Out Handling of Subsistence Supplies
    a. To the extent practicable, field ration issues will be made from the warehouse in the morning and garrison ration, officer mess, and hospital sales in the afternoon. New shipments of supplies will be unloaded immediately upon receipt. This practice will require a labor detail for the stacking of new supplies, and warehouse personnel for the supervision of issues of field rations in the morning and sales of garrison, officer mess, and hospital rations in the afternoon.
    Z». Three techniques of field ration issue are possible
    (1)	The withdrawal of bulk stocks to an issue point and the breaking of those bulk stocks to individual organization or group issues prior to the time of issue.
    (2)	The withdrawal of bulk stocks to an issue point and the breaking of those bulk stocks xto individual organization or group issues by organization or group personnel picking the number of cans, cases, bottles, or packages as directed and supervised by warehouse personnel.
    (3)	The use of organization or group personnel supervised by warehouse personnel to pick the items for each individual issue from stocks.
    c. The station commander will prescribe whichever of these techniques enables the most economical use of personnel. Variations in the prescribed technique may be used for perishables and for garrison ration, officer mess, and hospital sales.

    (1) (Superseded.) A blank sales slip 4 inches wide and 10 inches long will be inserted on the printing table and will be used as the receipt for the purchaser. The paper stock for these receipts should be of substantial quality to assure their feeding through the machine without tearing, and should be obtained from excess or available stationery stocks of the local quartermaster. Classification totals 1, 2, 3, and 4 may be used for classifying sales representing subsistence, exceptional articles, clothing and equipage, etc. Where there is insufficient space to record all items on the one side of the receipt, the reverse side will also be used. Authorized charge sales to organizations and activities will be recorded in the same manner as cash sales except that, due to the necessity of having duplicate receipts, one for the purchasing representative of the organization and the other for retention by the sales officer, the following procedure w’ill be used:
    (a)	An itemized subtotal will first be taken.
    (b)	If sufficient space is available on the receipt, the receipt will be spaced approximately one inch and the total charge sale will be recorded along with the organization account number. The top portion of the receipt with the subtotal will be detached and given to the authorized purchaser. The lower portion of the receipt with the total charge sale and the organization account number will be signed by the receiving representative of the organization and will be retained by the sales officer for proper accounting purposes.
    (c)	If insufficient space remains on the receipt to permit the procedure outlined in (b) above, the receipt with the subtotal recorded thereon will be extracted from the machine and given to the purchaser. A new receipt will then be inserted on the printing table and the total charge sale will be recorded along with the organization account number. This receipt will be signed by the representative of the receiving organization and retained by the sales officer.
    Classification Key marked “x” is used to enter the total of charge sales. The “x” total does not add into the itemization total. Totals numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and “x” are cleared at the end of the day by the officer in charge who retains the key to unlock the slideway.
    (2)	To post organization accounts. An account ledger measuring approximately 4 inches wide and 10 inches long should be used. This will permit * * * ledger control card.

    (Added.)
    Transfers of subsistence supplies also may be made to facilities of other Government departments and agencies specifically authorized to obtain such supplies from sales commissaries and to other activities of the War Department where required for purposes other than the operation of Army Messes. Reimbursement for such supplies will be effected on Standard Form 1080 in accordance with the provisions of TM 14-702. The retained property copy of the shipping document on which shipment was made will be posted directly to the Sales Officer’s Account.

    62. Sources of Money for Deposit
    The common sources of funds deposited by the sales officer are cash sales made at the sales store, moneys transferred from the sale of other supplies and services sold at the station, reimbursement for meals at field ration messes, collections of overhead and taxes on sales, the collection of the charge sales of the previous month which are, at the time of collection, charge accounts, and the collection of charge accounts of the current month collected during

    65. Use of Report of Deposits
    a.	PURPOSE. (Superseded.)

    Figure 53. Turn-in of Cash Resulting from Sale of Services.
    72. Transfer of Supplies and Services Sold and the Procedure Thereof (Superseded)
    a.	PURPOSE OF THE PROCEDURE. Certain supplies, clothing and equipage being the major ones, and certain services, such as laundry and electricity, may be sold at a station to authorized purchasers by designated selling agencies. As these supplies and services are accounted for by the selling agencies on a unit and not a money value basis, both the items sold and the proceeds of the sale will be transferred to the sales officer who maintains the only money sales account at a station.
    b.	METHOD OF EFFECTING TRANSFERS. (1) The items sold together with the cash proceeds or charge accounts arising therefrom will be transferred to the sales officer at the times and in the manner prescribed in AR 35-6660.
    (2) Transfers of supplies sold will be made on a War Department Shipping Document prepared in three copies. Copy No. 1 will be retained by the sales officer as a debit voucher to
    his sales account. Copy No. 2 will be signed by the sales officer to indicate the date of transfer and acknowledgment of receipt of funds and/or list of charge accounts. Copy No. 3 will be forwarded by the selling agency for auditing purposes.
    (3) Transfers of services sold will be made as in (2) above except that transfer will be made on a Property Turn-In Slip prepared in three copies.
    c. Cash proceeds of sales transferred to the sales officer will be included on the next Report of Deposits prepared after receipt of the funds and posted as a credit to the Sales Officer’s Account from the final Report of Deposits for the month. Charge accounts transferred to the Sales Officer will be recorded on the individual Statements of Account and posted to the Report of Charge Sales for the current month in the same manner as charges for sales of subsistence, thereby creating the necessary offsetting credit in the Sales Officer’s Account.

    85. Operational Losses
    a. (1) (Superseded.) To cover operational losses, the following allowances, based on issues (including troop train and special type ration issues), transfers to other Government departments and agencies, commissaries, and sales of subsistence during the month, may be adjusted in the subsistence subsection, subsistence section of the account by means of a Certificate of Gains, Losses, and Discrepancies (fig. 59) approved by the station commander:
    (a) At stations where the total business (issues, transfers, and sales) does not exceed $100,-000.00—%0 of 1 percent.
    (b) At stations where the total business (issues, transfers, and sales) is in excess of $100,-000.00—2/10 of 1 percent.
    The form will be prepared in one copy and, upon approval, will be posted to the sales of fleer’s account.
    (2) If the loss exceeds the authorized allowances or if the station commander disapproves the certificate, the entire amount will be surveyed. Execution of such * * * may be surveyed.
    *****
    86. (Superseded.) Adjustments Necessitated by Other Losses, Shortages or Damages (Including Losses, Shortages or Damages Arising Out of Shipment)
    a.	GENERAL. (1) The sales officer will be responsible for the public property entrusted to him and therefore will be responsible to explain reasonably and satisfactorily the loss, damage or destruction of supplies under his control. When other means are not specifically provided, he will initiate a Report of Survey (WD AGO Form 15).
    (2)	The Medical Department, Veterinary Corps, is charged with inspecting products of animal origin, both processed and unprocessed. No such items will be accepted by the sales officer from vendors unless inspected nor will such items, if in a questionable condition, be issued unless inspected and approved as edible. Products of other than animal origin will be inspected by personnel assigned to this duty by current War Department directives.
    (3)	The sales officer will obtain a receipt for all accountable items which are turned over for salvage or destruction. This receipt will be used as a supporting document to the voucher on which those items are dropped from the Sales Officer’s Account.
    b.	(1) Use of Report of Survey. A Report of Survey is an instrument for recording the circumstances of loss, damage, or destruction and either serves as or supports the voucher for dropping supplies from accountability. It also serves to clear all questions of responsibility
    AGO 1905A
    21
    and to fix pecuniary liability in accordance with the policies stated in AR 35-6640. Full instructions for the use and preparation of Reports of Survey are contained in TM 14-904.
    (2) It is essential that the sales officer initiate a Report of Survey promptly when the circumstances involved are fresh in the minds of those concerned; however, Reports of Survey must be prepared within 30 days after discovery of the loss, damage, or destruction unless exceptional circumstances prevent, which circumstances will be explained on the Report of Survey form. Preparation and processing of Reports of Survey will be in accordance with the provisions of TM 904. The retained copy of the Report of Survey will either be assigned the next voucher number in sequence and be posted to the Sales Officer’s Account or will be attached as a supporting document to the individual voucher to which it applies. When the action copy of the Report of Survey (copy bearing action of station commander) is returned, it will be substituted for the retained copy and the retained copy will be destroyed.
    c. DISCREPANCIES IN SHIPMENTS INVOLVING CARRIER LIABILITY. (1) In instances of shortage or damage to a shipment whether from a War Department installation or a vendor (if purchased f. o. b. origin and shipped on Government bill of lading) and preliminary inspection leads to the conclusion that the common carrier is responsible, a Report of Survey (Discrepancies Incident to Shipment) (WD AGO Form 15-1) will be required and processed in accordance with the provisions of chapter 10, TM 14-904, provided the total money value of the shortage or damage is not determined to be “inconsequential” as defined in TM 14-904.
    (2) In case responsibility for the shortage or damage cannot be determined by preliminary inspection, the above survey action is required.
    d. DISCREPANCIES ' I N SHIPMENT FROM WAR DEPARTMENT INSTALLATION S. If a shipment is received from another War Department installation (including Market Center Commercial warehouses) and preliminary investigation indicates there is no question as to liability of a carrier, the sales officer will take whichever of the following actions is deemed appropriate;
    (1)	When the items are received in correct quantities but changes in nomenclature are necessary because items actually shipped differ from those stated on the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket and the differences are discovered upon receipt of stock, an Over, Short and Damaged Report (WD AGO Form 10-122) will be prepared and signed in three copies. One copy will be attached to the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket posted to the Sales Officer’s Account and twro copies will be forwarded to service command headquarters for comparison and forwarding to the auditors of the shipping and receiving installations. If the differences are discovered after receipt of stock, any resultant decrease in money value must be satisfactorily explained or surveyed.
    (2)	If the items received are in excess of the quantities stated on the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket, the sales officer will charge into his account the quantities actually received. In this instance, an Over Short, and Damaged Report will be prepared and processed as prescribed in (1) above only in the case of a shipment received from another commissary.
    (3)	If the items received are less than the quantities stated on the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket, the sales officer will charge into his account the quantities actually received and will certify that the smaller quantities were received. In addition, he will prepare and process an Over, Short, and Damaged Report as prescribed in (1) above.
    (4)	When shipments are received which include items that have been damaged in transit for which the carrier is not responsible, the sales officer will take the same action prescribed in (1) above. In addition, the Property Turn-in Slip, receipted by the salvage officer, for the damaged items turned over to salvage will be attached as a supporting document to the voucher posted to the Sales Officer’s Account.
    e. DISCREPANCIES IN SHIPMENTS FROM VENDORS. (1) If the subsistence delivered has been purchased from a vendor for shipment on a commercial bill of lading f. o. b. destination, the sales officer will accomplish the Receiving Report only for those items received in acceptable condition. Immediate advice will
    22
    AGO 1905A
    be given by the sales officer to the vendor through the office administering the purchase contract of the items and quantities not accepted.
    (2) If the subsistence delivered has been purchased for shipment on Government bill of lading subject to inspection at destination and the accomplishment of a Receiving Report is required at destination, title tentatively passes to the Government when the shipment, properly packed, is delivered to the carrier subject only to the Government’s right to reject all or part of the shipment should it fail to conform to specifications when received, due to fault or neglect of the vendor. If shortage or damage is found on receipt, the sales officer will take whichever of the following actions is appropriate:
    (a)	If the loss or damage is found to have been caused by the fault or neglect of the vendor, that is, concealed shortages, etc., a Receiving Report will be accomplished for only those items and quantities that are received in acceptable condition. The sales officer will immediately advise the vendor through the office administering the contract of the items and quantities not accepted.
    (b)	If the loss or damage has been caused by the fault or neglect of the carrier, receiving station, etc., and not by the vendor, a Receiving Report will be accomplished in full for the purposes of accepting the shipment and paying the vendor. In all such instances, the appropriate survey action prescribed in TM 14^904 will be taken.
    (c)	If there is doubt as to fault or neglect of the carrier the Receiving Report will be accomplished as in (a) above, and a Report of
    Survey (WD AGO Form 15-1) will be processed as provided in chapter 10, TM 14-904. In the event that the contracting officer subsequently determines that the vendor should be paid for the articles rejected, he will advise the sales officer who will thereupon accomplish a supplemental Receiving Report for the purpose of paying the vendor. The supplemental Receiving Report will be filed with the Report of Survey and/or receipt from the salvage officer as a sub-voucher to the original Receiving Report.
    (3) If the subsistence received was purchased under conditions where the receiving sales officer is not required to accomplish a Receiving Report other than the inspection certificate (acceptance being based on, technical inspection at origin any payment based on such acceptance) the title passes to the Government on acceptance at origin, subject to final inspection at destination, and payment will be made at origin. In such cases a Report of Survey will be processed in all cases where a discrepancy is discovered at destination unless determined to be inconsequential under the provisions of TM 14-904. When a Report of Survey is required, adjustments with the vendor, when appropriate, will be accomplished by the contracting officer.

    89.	Preparation of Monthly Commissary Operating Statement (Superseded)
    a.	The Monthly Commissary Operating Statement (WD AGO Form 10-133) is designed to be prepared from the accounting records required to be maintained by sales commissaries under the provisions of this manual, and replaces the Monthly Commissary Operating Statement (WD QMC Form 467) (revised April 1944).
    b.	It will be prepared in duplicate by all commissaries within the continental United States. Copy No. 2 will be retained as a permanent record in the sales commissary and copy No. 1 will be forwarded to the Quartermaster distribution depot from which subsistence supplies are requisitioned. Reports will be submitted so as to reach the depot not later .than the 15th day of the succeeding month.
    c.	Quartermaster distribution depots will edit and consolidate the reports of all commissaries they supply and prepare in duplicate a consoli
    dated report. Copy No. 2 will be retained by the depots and be used along with the individual station reports as the medium by which local purchases of subsistence items will be checked and controlled by the depots in accordance with current directives on local purchases. Copy No. 1 will be forwarded to the Office of The Quartermaster General so as to arrive not later than the 25th day of the succeeding month.
    d.	The auditor, after checking the Sales Officer’s Account, will verify the accuracy of the Monthly Commissary Operating Statement as submitted. If such verification discloses that the statement as submitted was materially incorrect, a notation to this effect will be made in the Certificate of Audit and the sales officer will be instructed to prepare and forward to the distribution depot a “corrected copy” of the operating statement.

    No. 5
    TM 10-215, 1 November 1944, is changed as follows:
    42. Preparation and Use of Consolidated Ration Request in the Issuing of Field Rations
    * * * * *
    b. Issues on a Meal Basis (Superseded). In furtherance of the present national food conservation program, commanding officers of all posts, camps, stations, airfields, and air bases, may authorize the issue of rations on a meal basis to those units in which the members present for each of the several meals are disproportionate. This authority is granted to eliminate waste caused by adapting foods to a menu for which they were not intended, and to conserve in the over-all issue of foods. When issues are made on a meal basis, the number of rations issued, for accounting purposes, will be deter-

    WAR DEPARTMENT
    Washington 25, D. C., 18 November 1946 mined by dividing the total number of meals by three. These issues should not normally cause the total value of rations issued during the month to exceed the value of the garrison rations for the same month. The directives to issue rations on a meal basis will be filed with the ration account by the sales officer, and will be considered a valid voucher.

    51. Other Special Issues
    *	*	*	*	*
    /. (Added.) Paper, wax or glassine, and bags, paper, 5-pound (for use in wrapping and packing cold lunches), are authorized for issue at cost and without charge to troops on field rations upon order of organization commander. The cost of such issues is to be included when computing the cost of the ration except when such issues are required due to combat rations not being used on field maneuvers.

    Menu Recapitulation.
    11
    Pars. 7-9
    c. RECAPITULATION OF FIELD RATION MENU REQUIREMENTS, (i) The requisition clerk will prepare the Menu Recapitulation immediately upon receipt of the menu as revised and as approved by service command headquarters. The Menu Recapitulation will be prepared on a locally reproduced form similar in design to that illustrated in this manual (see fig. 3). Items will be listed in the same sequence as in the Master Menu.
    (2)	The columns of the form will be completed as follows:
    (a)	Item column—List each item appearing on the menu, using proper nomenclature. The items n should be listed alphabetically under each class.
    (b)	Unit column—Insert the unit of issue applicable to the item; e. g., ea., lb., doz., can, etc.
    (c)	Day of month columns—Insert, opposite each item, the total quantity required per 100 men for each day of the month. For those days on which the item will not be required, the appropriate spaces will be left blank.
    (d)	Totals column—Enter the totals of the quantities of each item required for each day during the month. These totals represent the total quantity of each item required to serve 100 men the menu for the month.
    (3)	The totals in the totals column of the Menu Recapitulation will be multiplied by the anticipated issue strength for the month in which the menu is to be served, pointed off two decimal places. The result will be the amount of each item that is required for field ration issue in the month during which the menu will be served.
    d. ESTIMATING SALES STORE REQUIRE MENTS. No records will be kept by the sales commissary solely for the purpose of ascertaining the quantities of items required for the sales store. The sales officer, however, will determine the approximate supply requirements for sales store operations by calculating the difference between the Menu Recapitulation multiplied by approximate actual strength for prior months and the quantities of individual items consumed in those same months as recorded in the Consumption Record (see fig. 63). In those instances where the items are sales items and not items of issue, it will be assumed that the entire quantity consumed according to the Consumption Record was sold in the sales store. The requirements of the sales store will vary widely each month depending upon the number of individuals using the facilities
    of the sales store, customer preferences, the strength of the detachments of patients at the hospital, etc.
    8.	Use of Estimated Supply Requirements
    The use of the Menu Recapitulation, the estimate of sales store requirements, and the Consumption Record to determine the quantities of individual items of commissary supplies to be requisitioned is described in the following Section.
    Section II. SOURCES OF SUBSISTENCE SUPPLIES
    9.	Sources of Subsistence Supplies
    a.	MAJOR SOURCES. Subsistence supplies will normally be obtained in the manner herein prescribed. All requisitions for subsistence supplies will be assigned a requisition number in sequence and will be registered in the requisition register maintained by the requisition clerk. Requisition numbers will begin with 1 at the beginning of each fiscal year.
    (1)	Nonperishable supplies will be obtained by—
    (a)	Requisition on a distribution depot by the use of Station Stock Status Report and shipment by the depot from depot stock as illustrated in fig. 4 and prescribed in chart 2.
    (b)	Requisition on a distribution depot, purchase by the depot, and direct shipment or delivery by a vendor as prescribed in chart 3.
    (c)	Local purchases as authorized, using the Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher as prescribed in chart 4.
    (2)	Perishable supplies will be obtained by—
    (a)	Requisition on a market center and shipment from the market center stock as illustrated in fig. 10 and prescribed in chart 5.
    (b)	Requisition on a market center, purchase by market center or field headquarters, Office of The Quartermaster General, and direct shipment or delivery by the vendor. (W.D. Contract Form No. 18 or W.D. Contract Form No. 19 as prescribed in chart 3 will be used.)
    (c)	Local purchase as authorized, using Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher as illustrated in fig. 7 and prescribed in chart 4.
    b.	MINOR SOURCES.
    (1)	Receipt of bread from bakery, prescribed in chart 6.
    12
    Pars. 9-10
    (2)	Purchase of bread, prescribed in par. 18.
    (3)	Receipt of ice manufactured on the post, prescribed in chart 7.
    (4)	Turn-in of excess supplies by unit messes, prescribed in chart 8.
    (5)	Turn-in of supplies by troop train commanders, prescribed in par. 21.
    (6)	Turn-in of subsistence found at station, prescribed in chart 9.
    (7)	Reclamation of edible fat, prescribed in chart 10.
    (8)	Transfers of supplies directed by higher authority, prescribed in chart 20.
    (9)	Requisition and receipt of Cash and Charge Sales Books from post publications office, prescribed in par. 25.
    10.	Requisition and Receipt of Nonperishable Subsistence Supplies
    a. PREPARATION OF MONTHLY REQUISITION. (1) Monthly requisitions for non-perishable subsistence supplies, including paper cups, plates, forks, and spoons authorized for issue in the troop train ration, will be prepared in quadruplicate on the Station Stock Status Report form supplied by the depot. (Station Stock Status Report, W.D., Q.M.C. Form No. 1010 will be used pending availability of a revised form designed solely for reporting subsistence.) Four copies of this report will be received by the station from the distribution depot prior to the close of each month. The original and two copies of the Station Stock Status Report form for use as a requisition will be forwarded to the depot and one copy retained by the sales officer.
    (2)	The following information will be entered on the Station Stock Status Report form used for this purpose:
    (a)	In the “Issues-Replace” column, the issues and sales during the previous three months— “Consumed Last 3 Mo.”—which will be taken from the Consumption Record. Transfers as directed by the distribution depot and items charged out of the Sales Officer’s Account by the processing of a Report of Survey (W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 15) will not be included.
    (b)	In the “Maximum Stock Level” column, the anticipated issues and sales for the next three months—“Anticipated Consumption Next 3 Mo.” —obtained by totaling quantities estimated as required from menu abstracts and anticipated troop
    strength for the next three months plus quantities required for sales store operation. Any anticipated transfers of items as directed by the distribution depot or anticipated surveys of items now on hand will not be included.
    (c)	In the “On Hand” column, the physical inventory at the end of the previous month.
    (d)	In the “Due In” column, the items previously requisitioned but not yet received.
    (e)	In the “Due Out” column, the amount herewith requisitioned — “Quantity Required”. This amount will be the difference between the estimated issues and sales for the next three months and the quantity on hand and due in at the end of the month. A credit in the amount requisitioned column will indicate an excess is on hand and due in over and above estimated issue and sale requirements for the next three months.
    Column headings will be appropriately corrected and the signature of the sales officer will be affixed on the last page of each copy of the form.
    (3)	All issue items will be reported on the Station Stock Status Report. If issue items (or any size container thereof) for which a stock number has not been assigned are on hand, due in, issued, or sold, the sales officer will convert the size on hand, due in, issued, or sold, into a size for which a stock number has been assigned. In the event that it is impossible to convert the quantities to conform to a stock number that has been assigned, the sales officer will include the item on the Station Stock Status Report with a notation that it is not possible to convert the quantities to conform to a stock number that has been assigned.
    (4)	The station requisition number applicable to the quantities requisitioned on this report will be indicated by the station at the top of the first sheet of this Stock Status Report pending receipt of the revised form. Control Approval Symbol DDI-63 will be entered at the upper right hand corner of the report (see par. 52, section XI, TM 38-220, Stock Control Manual for Posts, Camps, and Stations).
    (5)	Additional Supply Information Reported on Nonperishable Requisition, (a) Sales Articles and Exceptional Articles. Information regarding sales articles not issued and exceptional articles on hand in the commissary will be forwarded to the distribution depot together with the nonperishable Requisition. These items will be listed as groups under separate headings on the same forms, supplied in blank by the distribution depot. Stock

    numbers where not available will be omitted. Both the list of sales articles and the list of exceptional items of supplies will be prepared in alphabetical order by groups; i.e., candy, cookies, etc. Under each group the station will enter the brand names, sizes, etc., which are on hand, due in, issued, sold, or required. All of the information required in par. 100(2) above for issue items will be included for sales articles. Only the quantity on hand as of the date of the inventory will be recorded for exceptional articles.
    (b) Stocks of Perishable Subsistence Supplies. Stocks of perishable subsistence supplies will be listed on copies of this same form supplied by the distribution depot and will be forwarded together with the nonperishable Requisition and the information on sales articles and exceptional articles. Only the columns “On Hand” and “Consumed Last 3 Months will be completed. The quantity of each item on hand as of the date of the last inventory will be entered in the “On Hand” column, and only the last month’s issues and sales in the “Consumed Last 3 Months” column.
    (6) The Station Stock Status Report described in this paragraph will be prepared and forwarded to reach the distribution depot at least 45 days in advance of the beginning of the month of issue.
    (7) Emergency nonperishable requisitions will contain the same information as monthly requisitions. They will be prepared on a Requisition (W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 445) in four copies and will be distributed in the same manner as prescribed for regular monthly nonperishable requisitions.
    b. RECEIPT OF NONPERISHABLE SUBSISTENCE SUPPLIES. Nonperishable subsistence supplies will be shipped by the distribution depot with the use of the War Department Shipping Document (W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 450-20-E), distributed as prescribed in chart 2. The sales officer will personally ascertain that copy No. 2, as prescribed therein, is promptly completed and forwarded to the station transportation officer.
    c. REQUISITION FOR BAGS, PAPER, AND TWINE. Paper bags, wrapping paper, and twine required in connection with the care, issue, and sale of subsistence will be requested in kind, as needed, from the quartermaster supply officer on a Property Issue Slip (W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 446). Such supplies will be dropped from his stock record account as expended upon issue to
    the sales officer, and will not be reflected in the Sales Officer’s Account.
    11. Requisition of Subsistence Supplies from a Distribution Depot where Purchase is Made by the Depot for Direct Shipment or Delivery by a Vendor
    a.	In those cases where the returned copy of the Requisition for nonperishable subsistence indicates that items are to be purchased by the depot and will be shipped or delivered direct by the vendor to the station, the depot will forward to the station a copy of the Purchase Order or a copy of the Delivery Order as prescribed in chart 3. The procedure thereafter will conform to this chart. Should a copy of the Purchase Order or the Delivery Order, as the case may be, fail to reach the station prior to the delivery of the purchased items, the sales officer will use the Tally-In prescribed in this chart as the basis for completing the Receiving Report (see fig. 6). Before such action is taken, however, the sales officer will ascertain by whatever means is necessary, that the purchase was made by the depot and the shipment was intended for the station.
    b.	In those instances when the purchase is made by the depot with the use of the Vendor’s Shipping Document (W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 450-60-C, not illustrated), inspection and acceptance having taken place at origin or inspection and acceptance taking place at destination, the procedure will be as follows:
    (1) Z/ Inspection and Acceptance Take Place at Receiving Station
    (a)	Two copies of the Vendor’s Shipping Document, copies Nos. 4 and 13A, will be mailed from the shipping point; and two copies, Nos. 2 and 3, will be forwarded with the shipment. Copies Nos. 4, 2, and 3 will be processed in the same manner as copies of the War Department Shipping Document prescribed in chart 2.
    (b)	Copy No. 13A will be used for preparing the inspection report and certificate. This copy will be altered by deleting the word “shipped” in the inspection block and inserting the word “received.” This document when signed by the inspector and countersigned by the accountable property officer will be forwarded directly to the office designated on the document as “Office Administering Contract”.
    (2) If Inspection and Acceptance Have Taken Place at Origin, (a) One copy of the Vendor’s

    12. Local Purchases of Nonperishable Subsistence Supplies
    W.D. Form No. 383, comprising W.D. Forms Nos. 383, 383a, 383b, and 383c (all revised 1944, see figs. 8 and 9), may be used, under the conditions described below, either as a purchase order
    or as a delivery order. The appropriate box at the head of W.D. Forms Nos. 383 and 383a will be checked to indicate whether the form is being used as a purchase order or delivery order. War Department Procurement Regulations governing the issuance of contracts, purchase orders, or delivery orders will apply when this form is used, and only such procurement as is authorized from time to time by current directives will be made. The following instructions, consistent with War Department Procurement Regulations, will be complied with:
    a. USE AS A PURCHASE ORDER. (1) Tne form is prescribed for use by stations in procuring any supplies, regardless of the number or period of deliveries involved, where:

    Par. 12
    (a)	The amount of the purchase order does not exceed $50,000.
    (b)	Only one payment is initially expected to be made.
    (c)	No special contract form is provided.
    (d)	No special contractual provisions are necessary.
    (2)	Where the price is less than $5,000, the-line reading “In accordance with your price list / oral quotation / written quotation of......, 194 .
    appearing on W.D. Forms 383 and 383a, will be deleted. If the price is $5,000 or more, the inapplicable words will be deleted, and the date of the price list, oral quotation, or written quotation, as the case may be, will be inserted.
    (3)	die price is $5,000 or more, a contract number will be inserted in the place reserved therefor, in compliance with War Department Procurement Regulations, par. 309.
    (4)	In the distribution of the form, War Department Procurement Regulations No. 3, paragraph 303.5(2) and section IV thereof, will be observed. Thus, if it appears on the form that a written quotation was received ((2) above), the original of the quotation should be forwarded to the appropriate Army Audit Branch of the General Accounting Office and a copy thereof attached to the copy of the form furnished the disbursing officer.
    b. USE AS A DELIVERY ORDER. The form is prescribed for use by sales commissaries in requesting deliveries, regardless of amount, under all “open end” or requirement contracts which provide that deliveries will be made upon call by the purchasing and contracting officer; for example, under general schedule of supplies contracts of the Procurement Division, Treasury Department. Distribution will be made in accordance with Procurement Regulations (see par. 318.1(2) in regard to distribution of delivery orders under general schedule of supplies contracts).
    c. VENDOR’S CERTIFICATE. (1) If the form is to be used by a vendor as an invoice (in lieu of his submitting separate invoices), the vendor will enter his invoice number in the space provided for that purpose in the vendor’s certificate block on copy No. 1. Upon receipt of the original, the purchasing and contracting officer will enter the vendor’s invoice number on copies Nos. 3, 5, and 7. The entering of the vendor’s invoice number will allow the disbursing officer to enter this number on the transmittal slip to the vendor with
    22
    the check in payment of the voucher, and will provide a means of referring to the vendor’s proper invoice in instances where future reference is necessary.
    (2) If the purchasing and contracting officer so arranges with the vendor at the time the Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher is issued, copy No. 1 may be held by the purchasing and contracting officer and the vendor required to come to the office to complete the vendor’s certificate.
    (3) If the purchasing and contracting officer so arranges with the vendor at the time the Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher is issued, copy No. 1 may be held by the purchasing and contracting office and the vendor required to submit three copies of a certified invoice. This procedure will always be followed when the quantities to be delivered by the vendor are expected to exceed the quantities ordered.
    d.	GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. The following general instructions are applicable whether the form is used as purchase order or delivery order:
    (1)	When continuation sheets W.D. Form No. 383b and W.D. Form No. 383c are used, the first item listed under articles or services on W.D. Form Nos. 383 and 383a must be “Total amounts from continuation sheet(s) attached”. The total dollar amount of the items listed on the continuation sheets will be entered in the amount column.
    (2)	. The fiscal officer will certify as to the availability of funds and as to the appropriate allotment numbers on the Purchase Request and Commitment Document (W.D., A.A.F. Form No. 97A—not illustrated) at Class III installations, or form utilized for similar purpose at Class I, II, and IV installations. A certification by the fiscal officer of the availability of funds is a prerequisite to the initiation of all such orders irrespective of whether the purchases or deliveries are charged against funds allotted to the station or are supplied to the station on a Purchase Authorization Advice (W.D. Form No. 53). When the Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher is prepared and distributed, the fiscal officer will verify the accuracy of the fiscal data on copy No. 5 which he will sign and return to the purchasing and contracting officer (see chart 4).
    (3)	If the purchase is made to fill a due-out, the number assigned to the issue slip from which the back order originated will be placed in the “Requisition Number” box on the Purchase Order
    Par. 12
    or Delivery Order and Voucher in order to insure correct delivery. The same issue slip number will be placed on the Purchase Request and Commitment Document or form used for similar purposes.
    (4)	The appropriate amount will be entered in the accounting classification block of copies Nos. 1, 3, 5, and 7 by the purchasing and contracting officer during the final conformation of the document.
    (5)	Where inspection is at destination, the inspecting officer will sign the inspection report on copy No. 4. If inspection is made at source, a separate inspection report will be prepared.
    (6)	Upon receipt of the items called for in the order, the sales officer or his representative will sign the Receiving Report on copies Nos. 3 and 4. The voucher number by which the purchase will be entered in the Sales Officer’s Account will be placed in the space provided in the lower right hand corner of the form.
    (7)	This form is most effectively used in those instances where only one delivery is expected to be made; however, when more than one delivery is received, the procedure prescribed in note C, fig. 7, will apply.
    (8)	The “Item No.” column will be used for assigning the sequence number of the articles or services being procured. Such item numbers as are required for reference purposes to Vendor’s Price Lists, Treasury Department Schedules, etc. will be included as part of the nomenclature of the items being procured.
    e.	WHEN PURCHASE ORDER OR DELIVERY ORDER AND VOUCHER FORM IS NOT USED. When the conditions set forth in par. i2#(i), do not apply, other contract forms and provisions provided by the War Department Procurement Regulations, as supplemented, will govern.
    f.	No local purchases or requests for deliveries against open end contracts for nonperishable subsistence supplies will be made either for issue or sale items as defined in AR 30-2200 except when specific authorization to make such purchases or request such delivery has been previously obtained from the distribution depot to which the station is assigned for supply. Normally this authorization will not be given until after the items have been requisitioned and the depot has determined local purchase to be more advantageous. No purchases of exceptional items will be made except after the completion of the forms referred to in ^(2) above.
    g.	The distribution of the Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher form prescribed in chart 4 is essentially the same as when the form is used for other types of local purchases. However, after copy No. 4 has been returned by the warehouse, the accounts clerk will have the requisition section enter the items purchased in the Consumption Record and will thereafter in the “Articles or Services” column (or in the box headed “Memorandum,” by cross reference to the order section of the document) enter the sale prices of the items purchased. These prices will be the prices at which such items will be taken up in the Sales Officer’s Account. If the space provided on the form is insufficient to record the selling prices of all the items purchased, these prices will be entered on a continuation sheet, be cross referenced as are the items entered on copy No. 4, and this sheet will be attached to the form and be assigned the same voucher number. Upon completion, copy No. 4 will be assigned a voucher number in sequence, will be entered in the Sales Officer’s Account, and will be filed with the vouchers to the Sales Officer’s Account.
    h.	Use of the purchase request procedure prescribed herein will be deemed to constitute compliance with that part of TM 14-702, Fiscal Accounting for Field Installations (see fig. 2 following chapter 8 thereof), which states that purchase orders and contracts will be released to vendors and contractors through the fiscal officer in whose accounts the obligation is recorded. Where the purchase request procedure is followed, the subsequent purchase order or contract may be released directly to the vendor by the purchasing and contracting officer.
    i.	USE OF RATION BANK ACCOUNT. Each sales officer will be provided with ration bank account check books by the ration officer of the station. Ration check books will be provided pursuant to Office of Price Administration Regulations for each rationed food group. Ration point checks will be issued by sales officers only when local purchases are made of rationed items. The sales officer will deposit to these accounts, ration currency received at the time of the sale of rationed articles in the sales store. At the close of each month, the sales officer will report the number of ration point checks issued, the number of points for which these checks were issued, the amount of his ration currency deposits and his net ration point overdraft in the manner prescribed by War Department directives.

    14.	Requisition of Perishable Subsistence Supplies from a Market Center Where Purchase is Made by the Market Center for Direct Shipment or Delivery by a Vendor
    In those cases where the advice of action on requisitions on a market center for perishable subsistence indicates that the items will be purchased by the market center and shipment or delivery will be made direct by the vendor to the station, the advice of action will be used by. the station as the basis for securing essential data for filling out heading of a Receiving Report as prescribed in chart 3. In instances where no advice of action has been received, the sales officer will ascertain before such purchases are tallied in, by whateyer means is necessary, that the purchase was made by the market center and that the shipment was intended for the station.
    15.	Local Purchases of Perishable Subsistence Supplies when Authorized by a Market Center
    Local purchases of perishable subsistence supplies when authorized by a market center will be made by the use of the Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher as prescribed in chart 4.
    16.	Purchase of Subsistence Supplies from Other Government Departments and Agencies
    Subsistence supplies may be purchased from facilities of other Government departments and agencies when properly authorized. Supplies obtained in this manner will be paid for from applicable funds available locally by means of reimbursement vouchers, Standard Form No. 1080, processed in accordance with AR 35-880. All requisitions or purchase orders issued to facilities of other Government departments and agencies will include definite instructions concerning the office to which the bill for reimbursement is to he submitted for settlement.
    17.	Receipt of Bread from the Bakery
    a.	Although bread will be issued to organizations directly from the bakery and a Field Ration Issue Slip will be used to authorize and obtain a signature for such issues, in reality these issues are transfers made by the bakery at the direction of the sales officer. At the end of the month all such issues plus all deliveries to the sales store will be transferred to the Sales Officer’s Account (see chart 6).
    b.	The perishable nature of bread requires that production be coordinated daily as closely as possible with requirements for consumption. The sales officer and the post food service supervisor will therefore determine the quantity of bread to be baked at least 24 hours prior to the time of issue. They will base their decision on the quantity authorized per 100 men by the daily menu, the Consolidated Ration Requests, information gained during inspections of organization messes, and current sales of the sales store. Necessary adjustments in field ration issues will be made to insure an adequate supply of freshly baked bread to all organizations. A Field Ration Issue Slip so adjusted and prepared in two copies will be forwarded to the bakery 24 hours prior to the time of issue. The bakery, upon the receipt of the Field Ration Issue Slip, will prepare a production schedule, and bake the required quantity. As bread is issued, each organization representative will sign copy No. 1 of the Field Ration Issue Slip in the same manner as for other subsistence supplies. When the daily issue of bread has been completed, the bakery will forward this Field Ration Issue Slip to the issue clerk at the sales commissary. Copy No. 2, corrected to agree with copy No. 1, if copy No. 1 was changed in any respect, will be retained by the bakery.
    c.	The requisition clerk will ascertain the quantity of bread required each day by the sales store, and will prepare a Memorandum Request in two copies as a requisition on the bakery for the necessary quantity. Both copies will be signed by the sales officer or his authorized representative. Copy No. 1 will be kept as a receipt at the bakery when the bread is picked up. Copy No. 2 will be kept on file by the accounts clerk to be used to check the turn-in slip transferring bread to the sales store which is prepared at the end of the month.
    d.	At the end of the month, the bakery will prepare a Property Turn-In Slip (W.D., A.G.O. Form No. 447) in two copies listing thereon the total amount of bread issued to organizations as one total and the total amount of bread transferred on Memorandum Request to sales store as another total. The retained copies of the Field Ration Issue Slips and the Memorandum Requests for bread sent to the sales store will be attached to copy No. 1. Copy No. 1 will be signed and forwarded to the accounts clerk. Copy No. 2 will be retained by the bakery. The accounts clerk will have copy No. 1 entered in the Consumption Record, priced and extended, and will enter it as

    19. Receipt of Ice
    a. MANUFACTURED AT THE STATION. Although ice will be issued directly from the ice warehouse to organizations in the quantities directed by the post commander, all ice issues and sales, in reality, will be transfers made by the post engineer to the sales officer. The individual transfers that actually are made every time an issue of ice or a delivery of ice is made at the ice warehouse will be accumulated at the ice plant and will be transferred to the Sales Officer’s Account at the end of each month. These transfers will be made on a Property Turn-In Slip, prepared in three copies, and distributed as prescribed in chart 7*
    (i) The issue clerk will prepare periodically, as
    necessary, a Memorandum of Ice Requirements which will be forwarded to the ice plant to be used as the basis for the production schedule and for issues.
    b. PURCHASED ICE. Ice purchased locally will, except for emergency spot purchases made with the use of the Purchase Order or Delivery Order and Voucher, be purchased on contract. The procedure and forms used for this purpose are not illustrated in this manual but will usually resemble the purchase procedure prescribed in chart 3, the purchasing and contracting officer, however, replacing the depot or market center in the chart. Deliveries under ice contracts will usually be made, anid delivery slips will be processed, as prescribed in chart 7.

    20. Turn-in of Excess Subsistence Supplies by Unit Messes
    a.	Excess subsistence will not be accumulated in unit messes. To prevent accumulation, station commanders are authorized to prescribe the quantities of subsistence that may be stocked in messes at their installations. Twice each month organization commanders will appoint inventorying officers to collect excesses. At the majority of stations the dates for collection will be the 12th and 27th, but collections may be made on any other two dates if determined by the station commander to be more convenient. The fact that excesses must be turned in will not be justification for the issue of excess supplies. Officers designated to draw rations in bulk will be directed not to draw items that they do not require even though they may be entitled to such supplies. The inventorying officer will be responsible for making certain that excesses are turned in.
    b.	All unopened items of subsistence supplies in the messes of units or organizations that have
    been directed to change station will be turned in to the sales officer. Items in an open or partially used condition will be delivered to the salvage officer for disposition.
    c.	All excess supplies in original containers that are fit for reissue will be listed by the officer designated to draw rations in bulk on a Property Turn-In Slip prepared in three copies, all copies signed. Copies Nos. 1 and 2 will be taken with the turned in supplies to the warehouse. The warehouse will receipt and return copy No. 2. Copy No. 1 will be forwarded to the accounts clerk. Copy No. 3 will be forwarded by the officer designated to draw rations in bulk to the station commander or station fiscal officer, as locally directed, for use of the auditor. At the end of each turn-in day these slips will be consolidated by the accounts clerk on an Abstract of Excess Subsistence Supplies Turned In. This abstract will be prepared in two copies. Copy No. 1 will be posted to the Daily Cumulative Summary of Field Rations Issued,as specified in chart 8 and fig. 15. Copy No. 2 will be forwarded to the station food service supervisor.

    21. Turn-in of Excess Subsistence Supplies by Troop Train Commanders
    a.	When a troop train arrives at destination or when the kitchen car facilities of such a train are discontinued while the train is en route, the train commander will turn over all subsistence supplies on hand to a representative of the sales officer who will be designated to meet the train, if arrival is at a station having a sales commissary. The representative meeting the train will list on a Property Turn-In Slip, prepared and signed in three copies, all items received including both those fit for reissue (unbroken packages, unopened bottles, etc.) and those considered unfit for reissue (broken packages, opened bottles, etc). Copy No. i signed by this representative will be delivered to the train commander to be used as a voucher to his Troop Train Subsistence Account; copy No. 2 will be retained as a debit voucher to the Sales Officer’s Account; and copy No. 3 will be sealed in an envelope, marked “For the Auditing Officer” and
    will be given to the train commander for delivery to such officer.
    b.	If arrival is at a point not having a sales commissary, the officer designated to meet the train will receive and receipt for all subsistence items. A Property Turn-In Slip will be prepared in 4 copies by this officer and distributed as in a above except that the copy No. 2 will be forwarded with the supplies to the commissary ultimately receiving them and the copy No. 4 will be retained as a memorandum record by the officer meeting the train.
    c.	After inspection of the subsistence supplies, the sales officer will note on the same Property Turn-In Slip (see fig. 16) the quantities fit for reissue and the quantities unfit for reissue. Items fit for reissue will be taken up in the sales account at current prices and will be posted by the requisition clerk to the Consumption Record. Items unfit for reissue but fit for consumption will be turned over to field ration messes without charge and will

    23.	Reclartiation of Edible Fat
    a.	The conservation and processing of excess raw fat accumulated in messes in excess of individual mess requirements will he a function performed under the direction of the food service supervisor of the station.
    b.	Only such raw fats as are required to produce sufficient rendered substitute for issue lard or vegetable shortening will be rendered in the messes. All other raw fats will be kept under refrigeration by the messes until the weekly collection day designated by the station commander. On that
    day these raw fats will be delivered in suitable containers by each mess to the officer designated to draw rations in bulk, who will immediately deliver such fats to the rendering plant. Each delivery will be accompanied by a hand receipt in duplicate. Copy No. i will be retained by the officer designated to draw rations in bulk and copy No. 2 returned to the unit making the delivery. Containers will, if necessary, be returned by the officer designated to draw rations in bulk.
    c.	The rendering plant will have the unrendered fat inspected for condition by a veterinary officer, will prepare it for rendering, and perform
    46
    die rendering operation in accordance with approved processing methods. Sour fat and rendering by-products will be turned in to the salvage officer for disposition. The rendering plant will pack the rendered product in eight (8) pound lard tins with slip top and wire handle, obtainable by stations on requisition. Only if rendered fat will be used by large consumers (consolidated messes, bakeries, etc.) or will be surplus to station requirements, will fifty (50) pound lard tins with slip covers and carrying handles be used. Each container will be marked as to contents, weight, and lot. Requisitions for containers will be for-
    warded through channels to the Subsistence Division, Office of The Quartermaster General. All rendered products will be inspected by a veterinary officer before being shipped or placed in commissary stocks.
    d. When rendered product is available to be shipped or placed in commissary stocks, the rendering plant will prepare a Property Turn-In Slip in three copies, all signed by the officer in charge of the rendering plant. Copies Nos. 1 and 2 will be delivered together with the rendered product to the sales commissary warehouse. The warehouse will sign both copies, forwarding copy No.

    NOTES
    1.	This procedure will be used where a central meat cutting plant is operated.
    2.	If excess rendered product accumulates at station, it will be reported to market center as excess.
    3.	Property Turn-In Slips may be abstracted and posted as one total to Sales Officer's Account and Consumption Record if desired.
    Pars. 23-26
    i to the accounts clerk and returning copy No. 2 to the rendering plant. Upon the receipt of copy No. 2 properly receipted, the rendering plant will forward copy No. 3 for auditing purposes, and will file copy No. 2 in the records of the rendering plant.
    e. The accounts clerk will have the requisition clerk enter copy No. 1 in the Consumption Record. Copy No. 1 will then be assigned a voucher number, priced, and entered in the Sales Officer’s Account as a receipt of subsistence supplies. The dollar value of the rendered fats will be computed by using the current price established by the distribution depot.
    /. Where a central meat cutting plant is operated or where a procedure for the centralized rendering of excess fats has been established under the supervision of other than the food service supervisor, this supervising authority will follow the procedure outlined above for turning in the rendered product to the sales officer.
    g. Should rendered fat, in excess of post requirements, accumulate at the commissary warehouse, such excesses will be reported to the market center serving the installation. The market center will issue instructions for the disposition of the excess rendered fat. In the event that the installation is not served by a market center and is not attached to a post, camp, or station for rations, excess rendered fat may be turned into the salvage officer for disposition in accordance with Army regulations or other War Department directives.
    24.	Transfer of Supplies as Directed by Higher Authority
    Transfer of supplies to a station as directed by higher authority will be made on a War Department Shipping Document prepared by the shipping station in accordance with chart 20. The receiving station will process copies 3, 4, and 5 of the War Department Shipping Document in the manner shown in chart 20. If the transfer is made by government truck of the shipping commissary or by government truck of the receiving commissary, the variation in the procedure stated in the notes in chart 20 will be followed.
    25.	Obtaining Cash and Charge Sales Books
    a.	Both Cash Sales and Charge Sales Books are items of issue stocked by the post publications stock room at a station. They are serially numbered and are so accounted for on the records of the post publications stock room. When books
    are required by the sales commissary, the sales officer will requisition them in adequate, but not excessive, quantities in the same manner as other blank forms and publications are requisitioned. At no time will books in excess of the requirements for the next 30 days be on hand. The sales officer will pick up sales books at the depot price in his account and account for them in a section of his monthly account.
    b.	The sales officer will keep all books not in use in his safe. He will also keep in his safe a memorandum list of individuals in the sales office to whom books have been issued. At the end of each business day, sales books will be collected from the individuals to whom they have been issued and will be retained in the safe overnight. At the beginning of the following business day, they will be reissued, preferably not to the same individuals who turned them in the previous evening. Each individual to whom a book is issued will be responsible for seeing that all sets of slips are complete in a book when it is received.
    26.	Accounting for Cash and Charge Sales Books
    a.	The sales officer will personally make a periodic spot comparison of the Cash Sales Slips used during a particular day, the Cash Sales Slips turned in to the cashier, the amount of the sales, and the cash receipts from sales reported on the day’s Report of Deposits. On the days that he personally does not make this check it will be made by the chief clerk. The sales officer will also periodically instruct all personnel using sales books that all voided Cash Sales Slips must be retained in the book. When a book has been completely used, a Certificate of Expenditure will be prepared, assigned the next available voucher number in sequence, and will be posted as a credit to the Sales Officer’s Account. Expended sales books will be filed in such a manner that their withdrawal from the file will be noticed immediately. Expended sales books will be retained by the sales officer for one year or until such time as he has received a clear Certificate of Audit for all months in which the book was used, whichever period is longer. Thereafter they may be destroyed.
    b.	Charge and Cash Sales Books used since the last audit will be made available to the auditor. The auditor will also check the records of the post publications stock -room to determine that all books drawn by the sales officer have been properly accounted for.

    Chapter III
    WAREHOUSE AND STORAGE OPERATION
    Section I. STORAGE, PROTECTION, ARRANGEMENT, AND HANDLING OF SUBSISTENCE SUPPLIES IN THE WAREHOUSE
    27.	Storage
    a.	BROAD OBJECTIVES. The broad objectives to be sought in the storage of material may be obtained by consulting Army Service Forces Manual M 402, Depot Operations: Storage, and supplements thereto. The applicable objectives prescribed therein will be adopted by sales commissaries. These, in general, are:
    (1)	A careful analysis will be made of existing storage facilities to determine if space is being adequately utilized. Excess warehouses no longer required by the sales commissary will be released.
    (2)	Standardized stacking practices will be followed.
    (3)	Aisles will be limited to the minimum necessary for ready access to supplies and will be no wider than required for free and speedy movement;
    (4)	Supplies will be stored in rows running forward from the back of each storage space to the aisle. They will be withdrawn by rows and not by proximity to the aisle.
    (5)	Supplies will be stacked to facilitate inventorying. Preferably five, ten, or some multiple of two packages will be used in setting up each stack.
    (6)	Small items, loose supplies, and small packages will be stored in bins. These bins will be so placed as to prevent ready access thereto by other than authorized personnel.
    (7)	Sensitive items will be kept in a locked room.
    (8)	If desired by the sales officer, a locator system suited to the size of the subsistence bulk storage and as near as practical to that outlined in chapter 5, paragraph 20c, ASF Manual M 402, may be used to facilitate the location of supplies.
    b.	USE OF LABOR POOL. A labor pool will be established instead of assigning individual laborers to each warehouse. Supervisory personnel will be stationed at each warehouse but labor will be pooled. Except where circumstances make it impractical, subsistence supplies will be unloaded directly to their filial location in the warehouse. Double handling within the warehouse will be eliminated.
    c.	USE OF EXCESS STORAGE BY DEPOT. T he distribution depot supplying the station may direct, upon an allocation to it of excess storage space at the station, that nonperishable subsistence supplies be stored at a station for depot accountability. Items so stored will be segregated in the warehouse from stocks for which the sales officer is accountable and will be clearly marked to distinguish them as depot stocks. The same objectives will be sought in the storage of these supplies as are here outlined for the storage of items of station stock.
    28.	Protection
    a.	Protection of sales commissary supplies involves both the selection of the proper storage space to protect the supplies against deterioration—and the proper control of that space—to protect the supplies against misappropriation.
    b.	The protection of subsistence supplies from deterioration will normally require the use of three types of storage space: enclosed warehouse space, cooler space, and freezer space. The enclosed warehouse space must be dry, protected from rodents and vermin, and may be either heated or unheated. Nonperishable subsistence keeps best when stored in a cool, dry place. In climates where low temperatures are common, the use of heated space is desirable wherever available. While freezing should be avoided, it does not seriously injure most items. Although the appearance of certain types of food may be ad
    50
    Pars. 28-30
    versely affected, their food value remains unchanged. Such heated space as is available should first be used to store glass goods and canned foods. Containers of foods with a high moisture content are liable to burst if the contents expand in freezing. Precautionary measures will be taken to prevent such freezing, but unless the containers are ruptured the contents will generally be suitable for use.
    c.	Cooler space may also be of two types: space used for the storage of products of animal origin —items that can be stored for substantial periods at temperatures only a few degrees above freezing; and space used for products of other than animal origin—cooler space used for the storage of fruits and vegetables that can be stored for only relatively short periods, and which may, therefore, be stored at somewhat higher temperatures. Potatoes and onions which are less perishable may be stored under ordinary conditions in an enclosed warehouse provided they are protected from freezing temperatures, excessive moisture, and are so stacked as to permit a free circulation of air around each bag. Much trouble can be avoided in the cooler if one room is set aside as a wet room in which green vegetables, frequently packed with ice, are stored, and another is used as a dry room in which items, such as oranges and apples, are stored. All excessive moisture on the floor of the cooler will be promptly removed. If there is a tendency for excessive moisture to collect, supplies will be placed on dunnage above the moisture level. All mold appearing on structures, pipes, and boxes will promptly be removed and action taken to prevent its reappearance.
    d.	Freezer space will be used only for those items of meats and vegetables that are received in a frozen condition. Chilled meat products will only under the most exceptional circumstances he placed in a freezer. Care will be taken to prevent the accumulation of excessive ice in the freezer.
    e.	Further protection of subsistence supplies will be affected by regular medical inspection of food handlers as provided in current directives. Medical inspection cards will be posted in the commissary. The sales officer will also have all packages on hand examined at least once each month to make certain that the supplies contained therein arc sound and in a serviceable condition.
    /. The protection of supplies from misappropriation will be best accomplished by minimizing the possibility of easy misappropriation. Ade
    quate supervision of labor details, the assignment of the responsibility for locking each warehouse when supplies are not being received, stored, or issued, and the prevention of unauthorized persons from entering the warehouse unless accompanied by personnel of the commissary, will reduce misappropriation. During periods of hot weather when warehouse doors must be kept open for ventilation, gates will be placed across the doors and locked if unguarded. Small items of subsistence will not be stacked close to doors or left on the loading dock where they can be readily picked up with the items being issued. All eating in commissary warehouses will be prohibited.
    29.	Arrangement
    a.	Items of subsistence supplies will be arranged in each warehouse to facilitate their receipt, protection from deterioration, repackaging if necessary, and issue. This involves proper stacking and binning of nonperishable supplies. Small items will be placed in bins and larger packages that must be opened for purposes of issue will be moved to a particular section of the warehouse where repackaging will be done. The repackaged supplies will be placed in bins in the same location as original packages of the same items.
    b.	Only a small section of bins in the nonperishable warehouse will be set aside for processing turned-in supplies. These items will be processed immediately upon receipt. Those that by inspection are determined to be in satisfactory condition will be returned to stock for issue, and those unfit for issue placed to one side until a sufficient quantity has accumulated to justify the inspection or survey thereof. The processing of turned-in items will include their inspection for damage and such exterior cleaning as may be necessary to assure the acceptability of the items.
    30.	Handling Subsistence Supplies
    a.	To the extent possible, field ration issues will be made from the warehouse in the morning and garrison ration, officer mess, and hospital sales in the afternoon. New shipments of supplies will be unloaded immediately upon receipt. This practice will require a labor detail for the stacking of new supplies, and warehouse personnel for the supervision of issues of field rations in the morning and sales of garrison, officer mess, and hospital rations in the afternoon.
    b.	Three techniques of field ration issue are possible:
    51
    Pars. 30 - 32
    (i)	The withdrawal of bulk stocks to an issue point and the breaking of those bulk stocks to individual organization or group issues prior to the time of issue;
    (2)	The withdrawal of bulk stocks to an issue point and the breaking of those bulk stocks to individual organization or group issues by organization or group personnel picking the number of cans, cases, bottles, or packages as directed and supervised by warehouse personnel;
    (3)	The use of organization or group personnel supervised by warehouse personnel to pick the items for each individual issue from stacks. The station commander will prescribe whichever of these techniques enables the most economical use of personnel. Variations in the prescribed technique may be used for perishables and for garrison ration, officer mess, and hospital sales.
    c.	Fresh beef will always be hung and never stacked in the cooler. Cut pork products if received in cartons will not be stacked so high that the bottom row of cartons will crush or, if moisture is present, will collapse. All meat products, even if in wooden boxes, will be placed on dunnage and not directly on the floor of the cooler or freezer. Supplies stored in the freezer will be hung or stacked to permit the free circulation of air.
    d.	All containers (boxes, cartons, sacks, etc.) of subsistence supplies, from which only a part of the contents has been removed, should be stored in a locked room or “fenced-off area” where pilferage will not occur. Such partially filled containers should be transferred to sales store stocks if their reissue does not occur again for several days.
    Section il. OPERATION OF THE SALES STORE
    31.	When Operated.
    a.	Sales stores will be operated at those stations where the operation of a sales commissary has been authorized in accordance with the provisions of this manual (see par. iA), and if so directed by the commanding officer of the installation. Such stores will be operated in accordance with the provisions of this manual. A meat market will not be operated in a sales store unless specifically authorized by the commanding general of the service command. The considerations governing the authorization of the operation of a meat market are contained in AR 30-2225 and changes thereto. Each item sold in the meat market will be
    inspected as to condition by a veterinary officer before it is transferred to the meat market.
    b.	Where no sales store is operated, sales of authorized items of subsistence supplies may be made to authorized individuals or organizations at the times, in the units, and for the purposes determined by the station commander.
    32.	Sales Store Lay-Out and Fixtures
    a.	The commissary sales store will be laid out, unless existing facilities make such a lay-out impossible, in the same style as a modern chain grocery store. Ony one entrance and exit to the sales store will be provided. The arrangement will be designed to prevent customers from going into the sales store warehouse or into service aisles behind counters. Wall space will be .used to display merchandise or posters relating to food conservation and utilization. The price list will be displayed on the most prominent wall, preferably near the cashier or control machine.
    b.	The fixtures installed in the sales store will be of a type that can be readily cleaned and will be installed in a manner to facilitate cleaning. This requires that the fixtures be set on the floor so that there is a tight edge between the fixture and the floor, or be set at a sufficient height above the floor to permit complete cleaning underneath. Roth insect and rodent control will be considered when fixtures are installed and preventive measures will be initially taken.
    c.	Shelves, bins, and counters will be designed to display prices and ration point values prominently and prevent confusion as to which particular price applies to which particular item. Fancy fixtures are not a requirement for the successful operation of a sales store, but proper utilization of fixtures is necessary for satisfactory service.
    d.	Due to the critical nature of the materials required for most items of commissary equipment, fixtures requisitioned will be held to the minimum required for efficient operation. Any equipment on hand that becomes surplus to requirements will be reported immediately to the service command quartermaster for proper utilization. Transfers of surplus commissary equipment will be। made between commissaries only with prior concurrence of the Office of The Quartermaster General. Requisitions for new items of equipment will be processed through the distribution depot to the Office of 1 he Quartermaster General. In order to facilitate action on these requisitions the following information must be included:
    52
    Pars. 32 - 34
    (i)	Number of individuals authorized to make purchases at the store.
    (2)	Number of organization accounts.
    (3)	Average daily sales.
    (4)	Dollar value of monthly sales.
    Requisitions for coffee grinding machines will include, in addition, information as to the average number of pounds of coffee issued daily. Requisitions for equipment for newly established meat markets will be accompanied by a copy of the order authorizing the establishment of the meat market.
    33.	Sales Store Operation
    a.	The sales officer is charged with the responsibility of keeping an orderly and well regulated sales store. Present-day grocery store practices will be followed. Normally only self-service, except for small sensitive items, or meat market items and fresh vegetables, will be provided. Stock will be placed on the shelves so that customers will tend to purchase the older cans or packages of particular items first; all cans and packages will ‘be so placed on the shelves that identifying labels will face the customers; and items of the same type will be grouped together in the same section of the store to enable customers to make their selection readily.
    b.	A section of the warehouse will be located adjacent to the sales store to enable quick and easy restocking of the store. Items in this section of the warehouse will be kept in original cartons or boxes and will not be opened until the complete contents thereof can be placed on the shelves. This section of the warehouse will not be large and only a minimum supply will be kept therein. Packages of sensitive items not yet opened for sale will be kept in a locked room.
    c.	The sales store and the stock on hand will be kept at all times in a sanitary condition. If refrigeration is required, frequent inspections will be made of the equipment or boxes used for this purpose. Such equipment will be kept at the proper temperatures and scrupulously cleaned.
    d.	Sensitive items such as cigarettes, tobacco, etc., will not be made available for self-service. These items will be handed by the cashier, control machine operator, or specific employee, either from within a wire cage or from a rack to the purchaser.
    e.	The prices of all commodities will be clearly marked within easy view of all purchasers. Ration values will be plainly marked on rationed items. The monthly commissary price list showing cur
    rent prices established by the distribution depot on items offered for sale will be posted on the most prominent wall, preferably near the cashier or corp trol machine operator.
    f.	COLLECTING RATION CURRENCY. A system will be provided for the quick collection of ration currency. If personnel is available the ration currency clerk will be stationed adjacent to the cash register. This clerk will figure the amount of ration currency due and collect it before the purchaser pays for his purchases. When such personnel is not available, the cash register operator will calculate the amount of ration currency and collect it before totaling the selling price of the purchases.
    g.	Stocks on shelves may frequently become depleted during business hours. When this occurs, the sales store clerk will see that such stock is immediately replaced. Entrances and exits will be plainly marked to avoid confusion among purchasers entering and leaving the store.
    h.	MEAT MARKET PRICES. The operation of the sales commissary meat market will be similar to that of a commercial meat market. The meat market will not be operated at a loss, but this will not be construed as justification for excessive profits. Profits realized in the meat market will not be used to offset losses in any other section or subsection of the Sales Officer’s Account. To avoid losses and to assure efficient operation, experienced meat cutters will be employed, and retail prices will be adjusted as required.
    34.	Items to be Sold
    The items sold in sales stores will be limited to those authorized by AR 30-2225, “List of Subsistence Stores and Other Quartermaster Supplies Authorized for Sale”, and other current directives. While many items are enumerated in this War Department regulation, only such of these items as arc locally demanded will be kept in stock. Care will be taken to estimate consumption accurately, in order to reduce “outs” to a minimum and at the same time prevent the stocking of items for which there is no demand. For most items only a 30-day stock is authorized. Items procured by the sales officer for purposes of issue on the held ration menu, but which have for some reason become surplus, will be offered for sale in the sales store. Exceptional articles will be procured and sold only as provided in current War Department directives. They will never be resold at a loss to the Government, nor will they ever be

    surveyed. Vendors will not be permitted to place items in the sales store on consignment.
    35. Who May Purchase at the Sales Store
    a.	Sales will be made by the sales store to organizations being subsisted on the field or garrison ration, and to station installations authorized in accordance with current War Department directives to purchase subsistence supplies from the sales store. These station installations, organizations being subsisted on the field ration, and individual purchasers will pay the purchase price plus the required ration currency for any rationed items purchased. Sales will also be made to individuals who are authorized purchasers as defined in current War Department directives. These include commissioned officers, warrant officers, and enlisted personnel of the armed services either on the active or the retired list (but not
    discharged military personnel unless in an inpatient status). Such sales are authorized to be made to the foregoing for their own use or for the use of dependent members of their families. Should the number of purchasers be too large to be accommodated by the facilities of the sales store, the sales officer will recommend the establishment of a limitation program by memorandum forwarded through channels to the station commander. When approved, such limitation program will be applied by the sales officer. At those stations where authorized purchasers are not personally known to the sales officer, a locally established system of identification cards or numbers will be used.
    b.	Sales will also be made by the sales store to facilities of other Government departments and agencies when specifically authorized. Sales will be made at the applicable sales prices, plus the required ration currency for any rationed items sold.

    d. If desired by the station commander, the sales officer may request such additional copies of the Quarterly Depot Price List and supplements thereto as are -required for distribution and use as the station price list. When the Quarterly Depot Price List is so used, no station price list will be prepared. Instructions for posting supplements to the Quarterly Depot Price List will be given to affected station agencies at the time the Quarterly Depot Price List is distributed. These instructions should also clearly state that the appearance of an item on the Quarterly Depot Price List does not imply that the item is or will be available at the station. If the work involved is not excessive, the sales officer may rule out the items on the Quarterly Depot Price List that the station will not stock.
    38.	Processing Transactions of the Sales Store
    a.	PROVISION OF CHANGE FUND. When the efficient and economical operation of the sales store requires such action, the sales officer may apply to the station commander for the authority to obtain on Memorandum Receipt from the disbursing officer not in excess of $200 per control machine, cash register, or cash drawer operated. Although a fund of $200 per control machine, cash register, or cash drawer is authorized, the sales officer will not obtain a fund of this size unless necessary for efficient operation.
    b.	PROCESSING OF CASH AND CHARGE SALES. The processing of cash and charge sales made by the sales store will be in accordance with the procedures prescribed in Chapter IV, Section IV.
    59
    Pars. 39-41
    Chapter IV
    DISPOSITION OF SUBSISTENCE SUPPLIES
    39.	General
    The subsistence supplies for which the sales officer is accountable will generally be disposed of either by their issue as field rations; their sale to organizations being subsisted on the garrison ration, officers’ messes, or the hospital; their sale through the sales store to authorized station installatoins or individual purchasers; their issue as one of the special types of issue including troop train issue which the sales officer is authorized to make; or their transfer to another station or to depot accountability as directed by higher authority.
    Section I. ISSUE OF FIELD RATIONS
    40.	Issue of Field Rations A or B
    As defined in Chapter II, Section i, paragraph ya, a field ration is a stipulated quantity of individual foods for the subsistence of one person for one day as provided in the Quartermaster General Master Menu after local revision and service command approval. Field rations A and B are composed of essentially the same foods. Field ration A, however, includes fresh fruits, fresh meats and vegetables, as well as other items which require refrigeration and cannot be stored over any considerable period of time. The components of field ration B, on the other hand, are processed by packing, canning, or dehydration in order to extend materially their keeping qualities and facilitate their storage and shipment. Sales officers at stations in the zone of the interior are concerned primarily with field ration A, which is used whenever possible. Field ration B will be used primarily in theaters of operation when preservation is a serious problem, but even there, it will be used only when it is impracticable to supply or use field ration A. Field rations A or B will be issued in kind on the basis of the number of men ex
    60
    pected to attend a mess, less prescribed percentage deductions made by higher headquarters on the Consolidated Ration Request.
    41.	To Whom Issues are Made
    The number of issues made by sales officers will be held to the absolute minimum. Field rations will be distributed in bulk as follows:
    a.	To the division quartermaster for divisions and attached units.
    b.	To the ration officer appointed by the commanding officer of the headquarters under "which nondivisional units and the headquarters' detachment operate. If nondivisional units are not operating under a headquarters, the senior commanding officer of such units will appoint an officer to draw rations in bulk for all such units. In instances where such troops are equivalent to more than a group or regiment (three battalions) one officer may be appointed to draw rations for each such regiment or group. In all instances, however, the number of officers appointed to draw rations for nondivisional units will be held to a minimum.
    c.	To the ration officer appointed by the station commander for station complement troops.
    d.	To the ration officer or officers appointed by the commanding officer of a training center or school. 1 he number of such officers will be held to a minimum and no officer will be appointed to draw rations for an organization smaller than the equivalent of a regiment (three battalions).
    e.	Officers appointed to draw rations will be furnished an adequate number of assistants by the appointing authority. Personnel required to break down rations for groups will be provided on a detail basis by the organizations constituting the group. The station commander will designate the points at which bulk issues will be broken down and distributed.

    42.	Preparation and Use of Consolidated Ration Request in the Issuing of Field Rations
    a. USE BY SALES COMMISSARY. The sales officer, as directed by the station commander, will publish each month a schedule of issues stating date on which strength return will be based, the time the ration request will be submitted, the date of drawing rations, the date of consumption, and the ration interval. This schedule will also include a statement of the days of double issue. The issue clerk at the sales commissary will receive the Consolidated Ration Requests from the consolidating headquarters and will enter the name of the organization and the net number of rations required on a Field Ration Issue Slip prepared
    for each point of issue. The allowance column of the Field Ration Issue Slip will be computed by multiplying the number of rations by the item allowance per too men, pointed off two decimal places. If the amounts to the right of the decimal point are less than .5, they will be dropped; if .5 or more, they will be raised to the next whole figure. The resulting quantities will be entered in the allowance column. Consolidated Ration Requests will be filed by dates and will be destroyed one month after a clear Certificate of Audit of the Sales Officer’s Account has been approved by service command headquarters.

    will be used. Except for such instances the usual Consolidated Ration Request form (fig. 21) will be used.
    b. ISSUES ON A MEAL BASIS. Where the numbers present for the different meals of a day are entirely disproportionate, the commanding general of the air force, service command, or department concerned may authorize issues to be made on a meal basis. When issues are made on a meal basis, the number of rations issued will be determined by dividing the total number of meals by three.
    (1)	Whenever issues are authorized to be made on a meal basis, the percentage deductions required by current War Department directives will
    When Issue on a Meal Basis is Authorized.
    be applied against the number present for each meal instead of against the average daily attendance at meals.
    c. USE BY NEWLY ARRIVED ORGANIZATIONS. The commanding officer of the station will prescribe which of the methods prescribed in par. 41 will be used by each organization to obtain rations. The sales officer will arrange that the supply officer of each newly arrived unit or organization be furnished a copy of the schedule referred to in a above and be informed of the time and place for the ration detail to draw rations. The sales officer will also advise the post food service supervisor of the arrival of each new unit or organization.

    Par. 43
    43.	Preparation and Use of Field Ration Issue Slip and Memorandum of
    Field Ration Issue
    a.	The Field Ration Issue Slip (see fig. 23) will be prepared by the issue clerk on a locally reproduced form for each day’s issue from each warehouse and the bakery. On those days when condiments are issued, an additional Field Ration Issue Slip will be prepared for condiment issues only. If several issues are made simultaneously from each warehouse, a sufficient number of copies to enable the making of the simultaneous issues at each warehouse will be prepared. In addition, a Memorandum of Field Ration Issue (see fig. 25) will be prepared on a locally reproduced form, one copy for each organization or group to which an issue of field rations and, if condiments are being issued, an issue of condiments is to be made. In those instances where an organization or group draws simultaneously from more than one point of issue, separate Memorandums of Field Ration Issue, one copy, will be prepared, for each point of issue. Additional blank copies will also be prepared by the commissary for each organization or group for use when breaking down an issue to its components or to individual messes.
    b.	In those instances where the issue of all, or part, of the field ration for use on several succeeding days is made on one day, alternate forms of the Field Ration Issue Slip (see fig. 24) and the Memorandum of Field Ration Issue (see fig. 26) may be used instead of a slip for each day. The Field Ration Issue Slip will be prepared sufficiently in advance of issue date to enable the warehouses to arrange for the issue of the ration components according to one of the methods prescribed in par. 30A The Memorandum of Field Ration Issue will be prepared and supplied to organizations sufficiently in advance to enable each organization or group to which an issue will be made to calculate all breakdowns prior to the receipt of the ration.
    c.	The number of rations due will be obtained from the Consolidated Ration Requests. The list of items to be issued will be taken from the menu. Substitutions when required will be made by the sales officer prior to the preparation of the Field Ration Issue Slips and the Memorandums of Field Ration Issue. The issue clerk will calculate from the allowance stated on the menu the quantities due for each organization and will- record such calculations on the Field Ration Issue Slip.
    d.	The warehouse will insert the quantities is
    sued in the appropriate box on the Field Ration Issue Slip and instruct the representative of the organization or group receiving rations to make a similar entry on the appropriate line on the Memorandum of Field Ration Issue. Each warehouse will obtain the signature of the authorized representative of each organization or group for the items received.
    e.	Changes in the menu will be listed at the bottom of the Menlorandum of Field Ration Issue or, if numerous, on the back. Only in exceptional cases, when the changes are so numerous as to make such listing uneconomical, will a menu change sheet be prepared.
    f.	After all organizations have drawn rations, the Field Ration Issue Slips will be forwarded to the accounts clerk who will total the amount of each item issued, enter the unit price, and calculate the money value. If issues are made to small groups, or if available units of items of issue are so large that a record of over and under issues of particular items of supplies must be maintained to prevent inequities of issues, the Field Ration Issue Slips will be forwarded to the issue clerk for posting to an informal over and short supply record to be used as necessary to adjust future issues of these items of supplies. Upon return, the total money value of the day’s issues will be posted to the Daily Cumulative Summary of Field Rations Issued.
    g.	The designs of the Field Ration Issue Slip and the Memorandum of Field Ration Issue as illustrated in this manual are not mandatory. Sales officers are authorized to develop different designs of these two forms if they so desire. However, all changes in design will maintain the integrity of these forms; namely, that the abstract of issues will be prepared, and signed at the warehouse by the individual receiving the issue, and that only one copy of the Memorandum of Field Ration Issue will be delivered to a drawing organization or group unless that organization or group draws simultaneously from several points of issue. If this circumstance exists, only one copy will be supplied for each point of issue.
    h.	Emergency and special field ration issues will be made on locally prepared hand receipts. Such hand receipts, however, will be attached to the Field Ration Issue Slip of the day on which such issues were made and the money value thereof will be added to the value of the issues of that day.

The Ice Issue Slips will be attached to copy No. 1 of the Monthly Abstract of Ice Issues. Both copies will be forwarded to the sales officer. The sales officer will sign both copies, forwarding copy No. 1 and attached slips to the accounts clerk and returning copy No. 2 to the ice warehouse.

    c.	Upon receipt of the Monthly Abstract of Ice Issues and attached Ice Issue Slips, the accounts clerk will check the accuracy of the computations, enter a Certificate of Expenditure on the Monthly Abstract of Ice Issues, have the sales officer sign this certificate, assign a voucher number to the abstract and post it to the Sales Officer’s Account. The abstract will then be posted to the Consumption Record by the requisition clerk. The abstract and attachments will then be filed as a voucher to the Sales Officer’s Account.
    d.	Ice issues to organizations on the garrison ration will be processed in the same manner as issues to organizations on the field ration. No Record of Ice Allowances and Issues (W.D., Q.M.C. Form No. 455) will be maintained.
    e.	Authorized sales of ice will be made to individuals residing at the station in accordance with regulations prescribed by the station commander. The Cash Sales Slips on which authorized ice sales are made will be consolidated by the ice plant
    and be included as a separate total on the Monthly Abstract of Ice Issued . Such Cash Sales Slips will be prepared as prescribed in this manual, and collection for the ice will be made before delivery. The quantity of ice sold for cash will not be included in the quantity expended by the Certificate of Expenditure credited to the Sales Officer’s Account.

The subsistence supplies issued in accordance with this menu will consist of both perishable and non-perishable components for the fixed periods of travel and strictly nonperishable components for use in the event of unforeseen delays. This menu will be based upon the premise that troops traveling by train are in sedentary employment. The cost of the troop train ration, including paper

    supplies, will not exceed 75 cents per day.
    b.	BASIS OF ISSUE. The sales officer at the point of origin of the troop train, upon the basis of a copy of the movement orders submitted by the train commander, will issue one ration for each day’s normal travel time (ration cycle; supper, breakfast, dinner). To provide subsistence for unforeseen delays en route an additional one-third day’s nonperishable troop train ration will be issued for each enlisted person for each day scheduled for the journey. This additional allowance, however, will not exceed one full ration; and, as it will not be utilized to supplement the regular menu, its components at time of issue will insofar as possible be segregated and remain unopened. The troop train commander may, prior to departure, draw rations in addition for the anticipated number of officers, warrant officers, and railroad operating and pullman crews who are expected to travel on the train and whose subsisting at the cost of 25 cents per meal is permitted. If such additional rations are drawn, a notation thereof will be made on the copy of the movement orders presented by the train commander to the sales officer.
    c.	METHOD OF ISSUING TROOP TRAIN RATIONS AT THE POINT OF ORIGIN OF A TROOP TRAIN. (1) The sales officer will prepare in two copies a Request for Troop Train Rations (see fig. 35), listing the number of the
    main train order under which the train movement is being made, the ration dates, and the total number of rations required for the anticipated days of movement and for delays en route. Copy No. 1 receipted by the train commander will be retained by the sales officer and copy No. 2 delivered to the train commander.
    (2) LJpon receipt of the Request for Troop Train Rations, the issue clerk will prepare a Property Issue Slip in three copies (see fig. 36) entering thereon the troop train number, station of departure, and the components of the ration. All three copies will be forwarded to the warehouse where the subsistence supplies will be assembled. Any changes in quantity to be delivered as compared to that authorized will be noted by the warehouse on all three copies. Upon completion of the assembly of the supplies, the three copies of the Property Issue Slip, corrected if necessary, will be returned to the accounts clerk who will enter the voucher number assigned to the issue on all copies. The accounts clerk will price and extend the issue. Copy No. 1 signed by the train commander and supported by a copy of the order directing the movement will be retained as a voucher to the account. Copy No. 2 will be given to the train commander to be used to pick up the supplies at the warehouse and to be retained as a voucher to his Troop Train Subsistence Account. Copy No.

    Section IV. CASH AND CHARGE SALES OF SUBSISTENCE
    54.	Accounting for Sales
    Cash sales made by the sales commissary store will be accounted for either through the control machine, a cash register, or by use of Cash Sales Books. Where a control machine or cash register is used, charge sales will also be accounted for through the control machine.
    55.	Accounting for Sales
    Through the Control Machine
    a.	The control machine, where used, provides a record of sales, both cash and charge, computed and printed by machine. The machine produces three records:
    (i)	An itemized and totaled receipt for the purchaser.
    (2)	A duplicate retained within the machine.
    (3)	An office ticket to be signed by the purchaser. This ticket will be collected and forwarded to the commissary sales office where it will be used to check transactions.
    b.	Clerks assigned to operate the control machine will receive thorough instruction, will be familiar with current prices, and will keep beside the machine a copy of the price list and a register of purchase permit holders. Two cash drawers will be provided, one for the regular operator and one for the relief operator. Before being relieved and upon returning, the regular operator will take a reading of the machine. The difference will represent the sales recorded by the relief operator for which he should have cash in his drawer or charge slips. A separate key will be assigned to each operator.
    c.	There are two types of control machines in operation at the present time, Model AHK 22o9 and Model AHK 2119.
    (1)	Model AHK 22o9 is provided with two rows of classification keys (i.e., subsistence, clothing, and equipage, etc.), one for recording charge sales and one for recording cash sales. In recording a sale, the operator first records the amount of each item, presses the proper classification key (charge or cash), and then operates the motor bar. If the classification of succeeding items is identical with the first, it is not necessary to press it each time; however, if the next item is different, the proper classification key must be pressed. The permit number of the purchaser will be set up in the machine after all items have been listed and
    88
    before the total is taken. This machine will show a complete record of all transactions.
    (2)	Model AHK 2119 is provided with one row of classification keys (i.e., subsistence, clothing, and equipage, etc.). All sales will be recorded in the same manner as sales in the Model AHK 2209, except that charge sales will be listed using the last key in the row (marked “IX”), the total of this key giving the total value of charge sales during the day.
    d.	“Sensitive items”, such as tobacco products which because of their small size are subject to petty pilfering, will be identified on the machine tapes by the assignment of a particular letter. Eight keys lettered from A to H, inclusive, are available for this purpose. The total sales of any sensitive item may be determined by analyzing the tape retained in the machine.
    e.	The control machine has a credits key for recording credits for items returned by patrons, or for correcting overcharges. The authorization of the sales officer will be obtained before each credit is recorded. Credit tickets are distinguished by the symbol “Crd”, will always be signed by the purchaser, and will be analysed and posted as required by the accounts clerk.
    f.	The control machine will be locked by the sales officer while the sales store is open. At the close of the day’s business, the machine will be unlocked and the classification, credit, and grand totals cleared. Classification totals affected by credit tickets will be adjusted. When the tape is removed the sales officer will clear all totals to show zeros on the tape and write the date of the next business day thereon before relocking the machine.
    56.	Accounting for Soles Through a Cash Register
    a. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR NATIONAL CASH REGISTER MODELS 2054 AND 6054. Stations provided with cash registers equipped with the itemizing feature (similar to National Cash Register Models 2054 and 6054) will itemize the cash sales in the machine. Charge sales will be itemized on Charge Sales Slips (W.D., Q.M.C. Form No. 385) the total being listed in the machine so that the machine will show a complete record of all transactions. At the end of the day the Charge Sales Slips will be totaled separately, the total thereof deducted from the total in the cash register, and remainder, representing cash sales, balanced with the cash on hand.

    b. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR NATIONAL CASH REGISTER MODEL A-6056 (3AS)-iC-SPECIAL. The machine prints in two places; namely, on the sales slip, and also on the audit tape inclosed within the machine. It provides five classification totals, four of which add into the itemization total. One total adds in itself. It provides an account number key for identifying an account. The amount keys are used to designate the account number. It provides three cashier keys for identifying the operators and also nine symbol keys for further identification of sales classifications. Any amount from i0 to $999.99 may be registered in one operation. This machine may be used for the following enumerated two purposes in accordance with the specific directions applicable thereto:
    (1) To record sales transactions. Blank sales slips 3 inches wide and 6 inches long are included on the printing table. Classification totals 1, 2, 3, and 4 are used for classification sales representing subsistence, exceptional articles, clothing and equipage, etc. The receipt is given to the purchaser. It may be made in duplicate by carbon process. Charge sales to organizations are recorded the same as cash sales except the account number key is first pressed to identify the organization. Classification key marked “X” is used to enter the total of charge sales. The “X” total does not add into the itemization total. Totals numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and “X” are cleared at the'end of the day by the officer in charge who retains the key to unlock the slideway.
    (2) To post organization accounts. An account ledger measuring approximately 3 inches wide and 10 inches long should be used. This will permit printing 50 lines on each side of the ledger providing adequate space for printing the account number, the pick-up of the old balance, the amount of posting, and the new balance. Postings are made direct from the audit tape. These postings will be identified by the account symbol number (#). The account number is first recorded through use of the account number key. The pick-up of the old balance is made through use of classification total number 1. The amount of the posting is made through use of classification total number 2. After the new balance is printed the old balance is picked up the second time to assure accuracy. When all accounts have been posted, the total number 1 key and “X” key are cleared. These totals should agree. Total number 2 is cleared and should equal the total of charge busi
    ness previously cleared from the “X” key. The total charge business for the day should then be posted to the ledger control card.
    57.	Use of Cash Books and Cash Sales Slips to Account for Cash Sales
    a.	Cash Sales Books, consisting of serially numbered Cash “Purchases” Slips (W.D., Q.M.C. Form No. 386) will be used to record all cash sales
    Figure 39. Cash Sales Slip.
    made at commissaries where a control machine or an itemizing cash register is not operated. Sales must be entered on consecutive slips. An adequate number of books will be provided for use when sales are made by two or more clerks or where circumstances require more than one distribution point. Voided slips will be retained in the book. A brief statement of the reasons for voiding will be written across such slips.
    b.	Cash “Purchases” Slips will be prepared as follows:

    59.	Charge Sales of Subsistence
    a.	WHO MAY PURCHASE ON A CHARGE SALES BASIS. Charge sales of subsistence supplies in addition to those made to organizations being subsisted on the garrison ration and to hospital subsistence accounts may be made to post restaurants as defined in AR 210-100, post messes as defined in AR 210-60 and post exchanges as defined in AR 210-65 under the circumstances from time to time designated in current War Department directives. Sales to such authorized purchasers will be made in the same manner as sales to organizations operating on the garrison ration, but since such purchasers have no “ration credits” the sales officer will prepare no Ration and Savings Account for them and they will pay their accounts in full upon presentation after the end of each month. Any such accounts paid before the end of the current month will be treated as cash sales and processed according to par. 650.
    617085 0 - 44 - 7	•
    Any such accounts not paid by the 20th of the following month will be reported and the account be processed as provided in par. 69. Charge sales of subsistence supplies also may be made to facilities of other Government departments and agencies specifically authorized to purchase such supplies from sales commissaries. Bills for subsistence supplies furnished to facilities of other Government departments and agencies will be submitted to the designated office on Standard Form No. 1080 in accordance with the provisions of AR 35-880.
    b.	USE OF CHARGE SALES SLIPS. (1) The list of subsistence desired, prepared in two copies, will be submitted by the purchasers prescribed in 0 above, to the issue clerk for his examination. The issue clerk will ascertain whether the supplies requested are authorized items for garrison ration if the organization is being subsisted on the garrison ration; whether the supplies requested are available at the station; and whether their sale will interfere seriously with planned field’ration issue. Should there be any question of these points, the purchase request will be referred to the sales officer for decision. After determining these facts the issue clerk will prepare the Charge Sales Slips for the authorized deputies of organizations on the garrison ration or representatives of other activities authorized to buy on a charge account basis.
    (2) The supplies to be sold will be entered on the Charge Sales Slip by class of commodity; i.e., items of subsistence to be secured from the warehouse, from the freezer, from the bakery, etc. The quantity desired, unit of measure, and nomenclature will be entered in sequence, multiplied by the unit price as stated on the station price list, and the money value of each item will be extended. A line will be drawn under the last item (see fig. 39) to denote the end of the transaction. The original and duplicate copy will be given to the purchaser’s deputy who will obtain the subsistence supplies from the proper distribution point.
    (3) All variations between the amounts called for on the Charge Sales Slip and the amounts actually delivered will be noted by the warehouse clerk on the back of both copies of the Charge Sales Slip. The original will be signed by the deputy or representative of the purchaser, will be taken up at the last point of delivery or at the control machine, and will be forwarded to the accounts clerk to be posted to Statement of Account.

He will initial copy No. i of the Charge-Sales Slip in the box “entry made in sales ledger" lo record the fact of his recomputation.
    (5)	CORRECTION OF CHARGE SALES SLIPS. If the accounts clerk, when verifying the
    calculations on a Charge Sales Slip or the attached Informal List, discovers that an error has been made, he will prepare a supplementary Charge Sales Slip in triplicate explaining in detail the necessary corrections and cross reference it to the original slip by date and serial number. Upon approval by the sales officer, copy No. 2 will be forwarded to the purchaser and copy No. 1 will be posted to the Statement of Account.
    94
    Par. 59
    (6)	If desired by the sales officer, the copies of the Informal List (see fig. 40), prepared in two copies as prescribed in b above, may be attached to copies Nos. 1 and 2 of the Charge Sales Slip. If actual deliveries differ from the quantities or the items listed on the Informal List, both copies will be corrected accordingly by the sales agency. When the Informal Lists are attached to the Charge Sales Slips, there will be entered at the top of both copies of the Charge Sales Slips the designation of the purchasing organization, near the center, written or stamped, the words “Supplies purchased as per attached list”, and at the bottom the total money value of the supplies purchased and the signature of the purchaser. All blank spaces will be blocked out. Copy No. 1 of the Charge Sales Slip with the Informal last attached will be re
    tained by the warehouse for forwarding to the accounts clerk. If a control machine is operated, it will, at the end of the business day, be attached to the Machine Detail Tape and the signed Machine Sales Ticket and forwarded to the accounts clerk by the control machine operator. Copy No. 2 with the attached Informal List will be retained by the authorized deputy or representative of the purchaser. If a control machine is operated, copy No. 1 of the Machine Detail Tape will be attached to this copy by the purchaser.
    (a) If the Informal List is used in the manner prescribed in (6) above it must also be dated, priced, extended, signed by the purchaser or his authorized representative, and have all blank spaces blocked out.

    Chapter V
    ACCOUNTING FOR SALES COMMISSARY OPERATIONS
    Section I. ACCOUNTING FOR CASH RECEIPTS
    61.	With Whom Deposits Are Made
    All money received by the sales officer will be deposited with the nearest disbursing officer or his agent on a Report of Deposits, prepared in quadruplicate.
    62.	Sources of Money for Deposit
    The common sources of funds deposited by the sales officer are cash sales made at the sales store, moneys transferred from the sale of other supplies and services sold at the station, reimbursement for meals at organization messes, collections of overhead and taxes on sales, the collection of the charge sales of the previous month which are, at the time of collection, charge accounts, and the collection of charge accounts of the current month collected during the month (see par. 650). Money deposited may be in the form of cash, checks, certified checks, or money orders. Checks, certified checks, and money orders will all be payable to the Treasurer of the United States and will be endorsed, as provided in AR 35-780. The sales officer will accept only certified checks or money orders in payment for purchases, except from authorized charge account purchasers who may pay their accounts with uncertified checks, will not accept uncertified checks from individual purchasers, cash checks as a matter of convenience, or accept checks for amounts larger than the sums due and return the difference in cash.
    63.	Reimbursement for Meals Served at Organization Messes
    a.	WHEN REIMBURSEMENT IS REQUIRED. When essential in the performance of official duties, station commanders may authorize officers, warrant officers, enlisted personnel who
    102
    have been authorized to mess separately, and civilians as prescribed by current War Department directives, to be subsisted at unit or consolidated messes. All such individuals to whom meals are served will reimburse the Government at the rate of 25 cents per meal.
    b.	METHODS OF OBTAINING REIMBURSEMENT. Station commanders are authorized to obtain reimbursement for meals by the following methods:
    (1)	Collection in cash at the time the meal is served. If this method is used, the unit mess officer will turn in the cash collected each day to the unit commander who will retain it until the end of the month. At the end of the month, or more frequently if he is so directed, the unit commander will deliver the total collected to the officer designated to draw rations in bulk (see chart 21). If the meals are served on troop trains, the train commander will make the collections in his account, and will turn them in to the disbursing officer at destination.
    (2)	Collection may be made in advance by the preparation and sale of locally reproduced Meal Coupon Books. When this method is used, the Meal Coupon Books will be accounted for in accordance with the procedure prescribed in chart
    (3)	Collection by pay voucher deductions from officers or warrant officers regularly assigned to organizations on maneuvers or extended field exercises, if such officers are authorized by the organization commander to mess nth their units. The personnel adjutant of the organization will be responsible for the making of these deductions.
    (4)	Collection for meals furnished civilians regularly subsisted at Government messes by deductions from their pay at the rates set by current War Department directives. When occasional meals are furnished civilians, reimbursement will be made in accordance with (1) above.

    c. TURNING IN AND ACCOUNTING FOR CASH. (1) All cash collected from the sale of meals will be turned in to the sales officer by the officer designated to draw rations in bulk at the end of each month, or more frequently if so directed by the station commander. The officer designated to draw rations in bulk will consolidate all cash received from unit or organization commanders and turn it in to the sales officer on a Property Turn-In Slip listing the number of meals sold by each unit, and the amount of cash collected. The sales officer will assign a voucher number to each Property Turn-In Slip and post
    it as a debit to his account. The corresponding credit will be obtained when the Report of Deposits on which the cash is deposited with the disbursing officer is posted to the Sales Officer’s Account.
    (2) A separate subsection of the subsistence section of the Sales Officer’s Account will be established to account for funds received from the sale of meals. It will be entitled “Collections for Meals Sold”. The only entries to this account will be the debits from the Property Turn-In Slips, and a single credit from the entry of the Report of Deposits.

    d. OBTAINING REIMBURSEMENT WHEN MEAL COUPON BOOKS ARE USED. (1) Meal Coupon Books may be authorized by the station commander if the number of individuals who are required to reimburse the government for meals is deemed sufficient to warrant the use of this method. Meal Coupon Books provide a convenient method of payment for meals, and their use reduces the risk of loss of funds collected and simplifies the procedure of reimbursement.
    (2)	If the use of Meal Coupon Books is prescribed, the individual meal coupons will be serially numbered, will be printed at the direction of the station commander, and will be turned over to the sales officer by the station commander on a Property Turn-In Slip indicating thereon the serial numbers and quantity of books transmitted (see chart 22).
    (3)	Meal Coupon Books will be sold by the sales officer to authorized individuals, military and civilian, as prescribed by the station commander. Each purchaser will present a coupon, in lieu of cash, to the unit mess officer or his designated representative, prior to being served in the mess hall. The unit mess officer will tear the coupons in half and transmit the numbered half each day together with his count of actual attendance, to his unit commander. The unit commander will forward the daily accumulation of coupons to the headquarters or other agency consolidating Daily Ration Requests.
    (4)	The coupons will be used by the headquarters or other agency consolidating Daily Ration Requests as part of the check of the number of rations previously estimated as required by the unit and will then be destroyed.

Funds derived from sales irrespective of whether cash sales, charge sales of the previous month collected during the current month, charge sales of the current month collected during the current month, or cash reimbursement for meals will be reported in different sections of the Sales Officer’s Account. These cash receipts will be credited to the appropriate collection accounts and the applicable ap-

    a.	PREPARATION AND USE OF STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT. As the total of each month’s charge accounts, including accounts transferred to the sales officer for billing and collection by other post activities, will be posted as a credit to the Sales Officer’s Account for the month in which the sale was made, the sales officer will not post one month’s charges or credits to the next month’s account of the same purchaser. If a purchaser buying on a charge account basis pays his account in the same month that the purchase was made, the sales officer will record the transaction as a cash sale. The charge account of each purchaser for each month will be considered a separate series of transactions.
    b.	PREPARATION OF CURRENT MONTH’S ACCOUNT. (1) A Statement of Account (W.D., Q.M.C. Form No. j98) will be prepared (see fig. 46) in two copies for each charge account purchaser when the first Charge Sales Slip of a month is received by the accounts clerk. As purchases are made during the month, the accounts clerk will record the individual Charge Sales Slips on both copies of the Statement of Account in sequence by dates. The three columns on the Statement of Account will be used when more than one purchase is made in one day. If more than three purchases are made in any one day, the accounts clerk will record them under the same date on the Statement of Account.
    (2) If a bookkeeping machine is used to post transactions to the individual Statements of Account, both the old and the new balance will be recorded. If postings are made by hand it will be unnecessary to fill in the old balance column. At the end of a series of postings all previous balances and all Charge Sale Slips will be totaled, and the sum of these two compared with the total of the new balances. If a bookkeeping machine is used, this operation may be performed on the machine.
    (3) Credits due for the correction of charges or for subsistence supplies turned in will be recorded in the credits column. The payment of an account for the previous month will NOT be recorded on the statement for the current month, but will be recorded as provided in par. 68.

    Figure #7. Report of Charge Sales.
    Pars. 68 — 69
    prepared form as follows:
    (i)	Heading. The name and location of the station, and the month during which the charge sales were made.
    (2)	Column A. The name of each organization or agency from which a payment is due.
    (3)	Column B. The amount due from each organization taken from the appropriate Statement of Account. The total of column B, which is the amount posted as a credit to the total amount column of the Sales Officer’s Account for the month during which the sales were made, and a debit to the total amount column and the accounts receivable column of the Sales Officer’s Account for the following month.
    (4)	Columns C through H—The amount of charge sales applicable to each section and subsection of the Sales Officer’s Account taken from the appropriate Statement of Account. The totals of these columns will be posted as credit entries to the appropriate sections and subsections of the Sales, Officer’s Account for the month during which the sales were made.
    (5)	Item I. Signature of the sales officer.
    (6)	Item J. Credit voucher number of the month during which the sales were made, and debit voucher number (always number 3) to the account of the next month.
    b. Two voucher numbers, one for each month, will be assigned to the Report of Charge Sales in the same manner as two voucher numbers will be assigned to the Inventory. The report will be prepared in two copies as here indicated. Copy No. 1 will be posted as one of the final credit voucher entries to the applicable sections of the Sales Officer’s Account of the month during which the sales were made. Copy No. 2 will be assigned Voucher No. 3 in the voucher series for the following month, and will be posted as a single debit entry to the subsection, accounts receivable, of the Sales Officer’s Account of that month.
    c. The effect of this procedure is to make each month’s account complete in itself. When the Report of Charge Sales is posted at the end of the month, it is one of the credit entries which partially offset the debit which was recorded when the supplies were received. When the Report of Charge Sales is posted as a debit at the beginning of the following month, it, in turn, will be offset by an equal credit obtained by the collection of cash during the first 20 days of the month, delinquent accounts reported, and/or ration and savings
    credit. As payments are made or ration and savings credits are processed, the retained copies of the Statements of Account will be marked paid, and transferred from the file of outstanding accounts to a file of paid accounts. At the same time the account will be checked off the Report of Charge Sales, which has been posted as voucher No. 3 to the month’s account. If, on the 20th day of the month, all of the charge accounts brought forward from the previous month have not been paid or liquidated by the processing of a Ration and Savings Account, a Report of Delinquent Accounts will be prepared to liquidate the unpaid balance as prescribed in par. 69. As delinquent accounts should be kept to a minimum, sales officers will report, as of the 10th of each month, all unpaid accounts that will become delinquent on the 20th, to the station commander for such action to prevent deliquency as may be deemed desirable.
    69. Preparation of the Report of Delinquent Accounts
    a. Charge accounts not paid before noon of the 20th of the month following that in which the sales were made are delinquent. After noon on the 20th day of the month all accounts that have not been checked off the Report of Charge Sales and remain in the file of outstanding accounts will be reprepared in duplicate, certified as correct and unpaid by the sales officer, and will be entered on a Report of Delinquent Accounts. This report will be made on W.D., Q.M.C. Form No. 398, suitably modified. It will list the name and last known address of each debtor, the account number, the class of supplies or services, the amount to be credited to each appropriation (together with the purpose number involved, except subsistence) when collected, and the amount of overhead due, whenever applicable. All of the amounts so due will be added to a single total. The report will be prepared in two copies and each certified by the sales officer. It will be assigned a voucher number in sequence. Copy No. 1 together with the certified copies of the accounts, will be forwarded through channels to the commanding general of the service command. Copy No. 2 will be entered in the Sales Officer’s Account as a credit, and filed with the vouchers to the Sales Officer’s Account. The sales officer will have no further responsibility in connection with the delinquent accounts (see AR 35-6660).

    Section IV. INVENTORIES AND PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
    74. Purpose of on Inventory
    a. The primary purpose of a physical inventory is to determine the exact accountability of a sales officer. It is a record made by a physical count of the supplies on hand in the sales commissary on
    the day that the inventory is prepared. A physical inventory will always be prepared when a new sales officer is appointed to succeed an incumbent sales officer in order to establish the accountability of each officer.
    75. Preparation of Subsistence Inventory
    a. HOW THE INVENTORY IS TAKEN. (1) The Inventory of subsistence supplies will always be prepared as of the last working day of each month and may be prepared at such other times as may be directed by the commanding general of the service command. The sales commissary warehouses and sales store will be closed from the time that the physical inventory count is started until the separate inventory counts are reconciled. Two separate inventory counts will be made, one by the sales officer, with such assistants as he may select; and the other independently by a disinterested officer detailed to this duty by the station commander. The inventory will be

Such information will be taken from the Consumption Record. Copies 1 and 3 will be used by the sales officer and copies 2 and 4 by the disinterested officer. Each officer will record the quantities inventoried on both his copies in ink or indelible pencil.
    (2)	The name of the station, the name of the sales officer, and the date of inventory will be entered in the spaces provided. When supplies are located other than in the warehouse and the sales room, a supplemental sheet will be prepared by each officer for the quantities at each location, and the total will not be entered on the Inventory

    (3)	When each officer has completed his Inventory, the quantities recorded will be reconciled. Those items that do not agree will be recounted. If the two officers are unable to reconcile their recounts, they will report their inability to the station commander who will direct the necessary action to be taken in adjusting the discrepancies.
    (4)	The sales officer, after having completed his Inventory, will check all purchase orders, shipping documents, and receiving reports to ascertain that

    On both old and new sales officers' Inventories, Certificates same as in Fig. 55 except that Certificates will be signed "Officer being relieved of accountability" instead of "Sales Officer" and "Officer taking over accountability" instead of ."Inventory Officer".
    CERTIFICATES USED WHEN ACCOUNTABILITY IS TRANSFERRED
    On the new sales officer's Inventory, a third Certificate as follows, "Bond in the amount of $.........
    has been activated effective................." will
    be entered and signed by the new Sales Officer.
    Figure 55. Continued.
    all stocks and supplies received during the month have been properly entered in the Sales Officer’s Account. The disinterested officer will check the sales books against the sales book register to assure that the sales books shown on the previous Inventory and not shown on the present Inventory have been consumed.
    76. Use of Subsistence Inventory
    When the Inventories have been reconciled, both officers will date and certify one copy of each other’s Inventory, using the certificates illustrated in fig. 55. The sales officer’s copy, as certified, will be forwarded to the accounts clerk. After being priced and extended, it will be assigned two
    voucher numbers, one for the current month’s account and one for the account for the succeeding month. The same dollar amount will be entered as one of the closing vouchers of the Sales Officer’s Account for the current month and as voucher No. 1 of the new month. The disinterested officer’s Inventory, after it has been certified, will be forwarded to the station commander for transmittal to the audit file, without being priced or extended. Under no circumstances will the disinterested officer permit his certified copy to come even momentarily into the possession of the sales officer. Each officer will retain one copy for his personal files.

    ment to which it is assigned or in the space on the document provided for that purpose.
    (i) The opening Inventory, the Inventory Price Adjustment, the Report of Charge Sales (previous month), and the Report of Deposits will always be recorded and marked as vouchers “(month) i,” “(month) 2,” “(month) 3“ and “(month) 4“ for each month. Vouchers 1, 2, and 3 will be posted ip sequence. Voucher No. 4 will be posted on the line immediately preceding the closing inventory for the month.
    (2) All other vouchers will be numbered in the sequence in which posted to the distribution journal.
    /. ENTERING VOUCHERS. (1) All vouchers will be posted to the distribution journal by
    the entering of all required information on one horizontal line in the appropriate columns. A voucher may be a debit and/or a credit to one or more sections of the account, the total debit and/or the total credit will always be entered in the total amount, debit and/or credit columns. Therefore, the total of the debits posted to all sections and subsections will always equal the posting to the total amount, debit column; similarly, the total of the credits posted to all sections and subsections will agree with the total amount credit column.
    (2) When a voucher (such as the Inventory Price Adjustment voucher) requires posting to both debit and credit columns, both the debit and credit entries will be made on the same line but will be posted to the appropriate debit and credit columns.

    Figure 5. Continued.
    (3) Since the distribution journal will be considered as a book of original entry and since it will not be recopied for audit, or other purposes, all vouchers, page totals, and final totals will be entered in ink.
    (4) Vouchers should be posted in as near to chronological order as is possible, and vouchers should be entered at the earliest practical time after receipt. The dates to be used in recording vouchers will be as follows:
    For vouchers covering items received (other than abstracting transactions)—date indicated as the receiving date by the person receiving the item at the commissary.
    For vouchers covering shipments from the commissary—date indicated as the shipping
    date by the person shipping the items from the commissary.
    For vouchers which are abstracts of transactions—the last date as of which transactions are abstracted.
    (5) The date of the first voucher entered on each page will be indicated by inserting the day and month (or abbreviation). The date column will be left blank for succeeding vouchers unless the date of a voucher differs from the date of its preceding voucher.
    g. SUB TOTALS AND PAGE TOTALS. (1) The mathematical accuracy of each series of daily postings to the distribution journal may be verified by cumulatively subtotaling each column and inserting these subtotals (using small pencil
    133
    Figure 57. figures) immediately below the last line on which a voucher has been entered (see fig. 57). These pencil figures must not interfere with the legibility of the posting which will be made upon entry of the next voucher. After entering the subtotals, all debit columns will be added to be certain that their total equals that of the total amount debit column. A similar cross footing check will be made of the credit columns.
    (2) If such daily balancing of postings is not desired by the sales officer, the distribution journal may be balanced at more infrequent intervals.
    (3) Regardless of how often entries are balanced, the cumulative totals of each page will be entered on the bottom line of the separate pages
    Continued.
    and these totals will be carried forward to the next succeeding pages. Such totals will be entered in ink after it has been ascertained that the columns are in balance. In those instances where the cumulative page total of a column is zero, a dash will be inserted in the total space.
    h. CORRECTION OF ENTRIES. If vouchers are found to have been erroneously entered in the distribution journal, corrections will be made either by an erasure and correction of the incorrect entry, and the affected totals if any, or by the drawing of a narrow but not obliterating line through the entry, the entering of the correct entry under the same voucher number on the next available line with a cross reference to the original

    81.	Transfer of Accountability of a Sales Officer
    a.	When one sales officer is relieved and replaced by another, the accountability of the relieved sales officer is terminated in the same manner as accountability is terminated at the end of a month; namely, by the setting up of a new accountability. The accountability of the new sales officer will be established in the same manner as accountability is established at the beginning of a month. While the former sales officer, by this procedure, will be relieved of future accountability, he will not be relieved of responsibility until a clear Certificate of Audit, approved by service command headquarters, has been received for each of the months during which he was die officer in charge of the sales commissary.
    b.	If the new sales officer is a member of the Quartermaster Corps, or detailed therein, he will have his bond activated before he assumes his new duties. In accordance with War Department directives all officers commissioned in the Quartermaster Corps, or detailed therein, will have on file at all times with the Office of the Fiscal Director, Army Service Forces, a surety bond in the amount of $5,000 for officers below the grade of captain and $10,000 for captains and officers of higher grade. These bonds while fully prepared will not be in force but can be put in force by writing or telegraphing a request that the bond be activated to the Office of the Fiscal Director. The Office of the Fiscal Director, upon receiving such a request will immediately notify the surety previously selected by the officer to activate his bond. Upon the receipt of a telegram from the Office of the Fiscal Director that such action has- been taken by the surety company, a new sales officer may assume his duties. Although the liability for premium is a personal liability of the officer, and paid by him direct to the surety company, his bond cannot be terminated for nonpayment of the premium except with the consent of the Secretary of War.
    82.	Inventory Preparation When Accountability of a Sales Officer is Transferred
    a.	When a transfer of accountability is made, the sales officer and his successor, who will act as the disinterested officer, will prepare separate inventories of the subsistence supplies on hand for
    which the present sales officer is accountable and which will be transferred to his successor. The Inventory will be taken on W.D., Q.M.C. Form No. 392 prepared locally in five copies. The warehouses and sales store will be closed while these inventories are being taken. Until they are completed, no sales or issues will be made.
    b.	The technique of preparing the Inventory if the transfer is made during a month will be identical with that prescribed in chart 28. Both sales officers will make individual counts of each item, exercising care to insure that all broken cases are carefully counted and that all stacks of supplies have been properly set up. Upon the completion of the counts the two officers will compare their separate Inventories and recount personally those items on which they do not agree. If they are unable, after recount, to adjust their differences they will jointly report their inability to reach an agreed count to the station commander who will take appropriate action. The same method of recording similar items located in more than one place (described in par. 750(2)) will be followed.
    c.	After the two officers have reached an agreement on the count of the Inventory, the certificates described in fig. 55 will be entered at the end of the Inventory as therein provided. The sales officer who is being relieved will retain his copies of the Inventory, price and extend it, and enter the amount thereof as one of the closing entries to his account. The new sales officer will deliver his copy of the Inventory to the station commander for transmittal to the audit file and will open his account by assigning to his voucher No. 1 the same money value as was assigned to the Inventory of the sales officer who is being relieved. If the inventory for this purpose is taken during a month, it will not be posted to the Consumption Record. The Inventory of the new sales officer will not be permitted even momentarily to come into the possession of the old sales officer.
    d.	In addition to the Inventory, both sales officers will individually review all charges to Statements of Account and will prepare a Report of Charge Sales in the manner prescribed in fig. 47. Each copy will be certified with the same certificates as were used to certify the Inventories except that the words “Report of Charge Sales” will be substituted for the word “Inventory.” Both the sales officer being relieved and the new sales officer will process these reports in the same man-

    (2)	Meat Market. Sales prices of meats sold in an authorized commissary meat market will be computed and adjusted so that no loss to the Government will be incurred; therefore, no survey arising out of operations will be made. If losses in the meat market occur from causes other than operational, they may be adjusted by a Report of Survey.
    (3)	War Department Shipping Documents listing items transferred to the sales officer from other post installations (clothing, equipage, etc.) should be checked to insure that selling prices and extensions are correct and that the total cash turned over to the sales officer agrees with the total shown on the shipping voucher. No loss is allowed on items on which there is a published selling price and the above preliminary check will prevent such loss occurring in the Sales Officer’s Account.
    86.	Adjustments Necessitated by Other Losses, Shortages or Damages (including losses, shortages, and damages arising out of shipment)
    a. GENERAL. (1) The sales officer will be responsible for the public property entrusted to him and therefore will be required to explain reasonably and satisfactorily any spoilage or damage to property under his control. Such explanation will be made by the processing of a Report of Survey which, under certain circumstances, may be brief and informal but under other circumstances must be full and complete, or by such other method as may be authorized from time to time by War Department directives.
    (2) The Medical Department, Veterinary Corps, is charged with inspecting products of animal origin, both processed and unprocessed. No such items will be accepted by the sales officer from vendors unless inspected nor will such items, if in a questionable condition, be issued unless inspected and approved as edible. Products of other than animal origin will be inspected by personnel assigned to this duty by current War Department directives.
    (3) The sales officer will obtain a receipt for all accountable items, including surveyed items, which are turned over to the salvage officer for disposal. This receipt will be used as a supporting document to the voucher on which these items are dropped from the Sales Officer’s Account.
    b. USE OF REPORT OF SURVEY. (1) Preparation. A Report of Survey will be pre
    pared within thirty days after the discovery of the loss, damage, or destruction of property for which the sales officer is accountable. If exceptional circumstances necessitate a longer period to elapse before the preparation of the survey, these circumstances will be explained in the sales officer’s certificate. Separate surveys will be prepared for subsistence supplies and no other items of quartermaster property will be included on such surveys.
    (2) The survey form will be completed in the manner illustrated in fig. 60. The value column, money totals, will not be initialed by the sales officer but erasures, interlineations, and other alterations in the regular portion of the form will be initialed. , Supporting documents will be marked as exhibits and attached to copy No. 1, Report of Survey.
    (3) Upon completion, the retained copy of the Report of Survey will either be assigned the next voucher number in sequence and be posted to the Sales Officer s Account or will be attached as a supporting document to the individual voucher to which it applies. When the comeback copy of the Report of Survey (as prescribed in chart 31) is returned, it will be substituted for the retained copy and the retained copy will be destroyed.
    c. ACTION ON BILLS OF LADING. (1) General. The sales officer will be responsible for checking all incoming shipments and for taking appropriate action on any discrepancies noted irrespective of whether the shipments are received from other War Department installations or from vendors.
    (2) Action in connection with specific instances of loss, shortage or damage, (a) In instances of overage, shortage, or damage to shipments, whether received on a commercial or a government Bill of Lading, appropriate notations as provided in War Department directives will be made by the station transportation officer on the Bill of Lading. The sales officer will make no notations on the Bill of Lading for such shipments and will not be responsible for arranging to collect transportation charges paid on government Bills of Lading on items that were rejected upon receipt.
    (b) If a shipment is received from a War Department installation and a preliminary inspection leads to the conclusion that a common carrier is responsible for the shortage or damage to the shipment, the sales officer will immediately notify the station transportation officer. The station transportation officer will initiate a Report of Survey (Discrepancies Incident to Shipment) (W.D.,

    DATE AND CIRCUMSTANCES •
    Upon reinspecticn of stock of No. 10 cans of tomatoes on 18 August 1944, 198 cans were found to be spoiled and unfit for human consumption, apparently due to acid formation within the cans causing swellers and leakers. This is a part of a lot received at this station in February 1944, and which appears to have been in stock at the Jersey City QM Depot since July 1943. This lot was purchased from the Maryland Canning Company under Contract W-1914 QM.788. The period of guarantee has expired.

    FINDINGS.’—I have examined all available evidence as shown in exhibits_to___and as indicated below have
    personally investigated the same and it is my belief that the articles listed hereon and/or on attached sheets, total cost 1 85.14
    were spoiled and became unfit for human consumption in the manner stated; that stock of canned goods has been properly rotated; that this property has been properly stored and safeguarded at all times; and that the damage was not occasioned through the fault or neglect of anyone concerned.
    RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the accountable officer be relieved of accountability and responsibility for the property listed hereon in the amount of eighty-live dollars and fourteen cents (85.14) and all concerned be relieved of ecuniary liability, and that this property be destroyed.

    A.G.O. Form No. 15-1), except:
    (1)	When the estimated value of the shortage on any one Bill of Lading does not exceed $10 or when the estimated damage including damage to crating and packages does not exceed that amount or does not impair the usefulness of the article, or
    (2)	When the circumstances clearly indicate that the discrepancy is not due to the fault or neglect of the carrier and does not affect the total weight of the shipment.
    d. DISCREPANCIES IN SHIPMENTS FROM WAR DEPARTMENT INSTALLATIONS. If a shipment is received from another War Department installation and preliminary investigation discloses that the shortage or damage is not the responsibility of a common carrier, the sales officer will take whichever of the following actions is deemed appropriate:
    (1)	When the items are received in correct quantities but changes in nomenclature are necessary because items actually shipped differ from those stated on the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket, an Over, Short, and Damaged Report will be prepared and signed in triplicate. One copy will be attached to the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket posted to the Sales Officer’s Account, and two copies will be forwarded to service command headquarters for comparison and forwarding to the auditors of the shipping and receiving installations.
    (2)	If the items received are in excess of the quantities stated on the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket, the sales officer will correct the quantities stated on the copy used as the voucher to his account (if Price Copy of War Department Shipping Document is used) and will certify thereon that the corrected quantities were received. No Over, Short, and Damaged Report or Report of Survey will be prepared.
    (3)	If the quantities received are less than the quantities stated on the War Department Shipping Document or Shipping Ticket, the sales officer will correct the quantities stated on the document posted as the voucher to his account and will certify that the smaller quantities were received. In addition, he will prepare an Over, Short, and Damaged Report in triplicate, attaching one copy to the document constituting the voucher to his account and will forward two copies as prescribed in (1) above.
    (4)	When shipments are received from War Department installations and include items that have been damaged in transit for which the carrier is not responsible, the sales officer will take the same action as prescribed in (1) above. In addition, he will also prepare a Report of Survey for the damaged items, distributed as prescribed in chart 32, and attach the retained copy of the Report of Survey and the Property Turn-in Slip received from the salvage officer for the damaged items turned over to salvage as supporting documents. Upon the return of an approved copy of the Report of Survey, the sales officer will substitute it for the retained copy.
    e. DISCREPANCIES IN SHIPMENTS FROM VENDORS. (1) If the subsistence delivered has been purchased from a vendor for shipment on a commercial Bill of Lading, FOB destination, the sales officer will accomplish the Receiving Report only for those items received in acceptable condition. Immediate advice will be given by the sales officer to the vendor through the office administering the purchase contract of the items and quantities not accepted.
    (2) If the subsistence delivered has been purchased for shipment on a government Bill of Lading, FOB shipping point, subject to inspection and acceptance at destination, title to the subsistence passes to the Government when the shipment, properly packed, is delivered to the carrier, subject only to the Government’s right to reject all or part of the shipment should it fail to conform to specifications when it arrives at destination because of fault or neglect by the vendor. If shortage or damage to such a shipment is found upon arrival at destination, the sales officer will take whichever of the following actions is deemed appropriate:
    (a)	If the loss or damage is found to have been caused by the fault or neglect of the vendor, i.e., concealed shortages, etc., a Receiving Report will be accomplished for only those items and quantities that are received in acceptable condition. The sales officer will immediately advise the ven- s dor through the office administering the contract of the items and quantities not accepted.
    (b)	If the loss or damage has been caused by the fault or neglect of the carrier, receiving station, etc., and not by the vendor, a Receiving Report will be accomplished in full for the purposes of accepting the shipment and paying the vendor. In all such instances, the sales officer will initiate a Report of Survey (usually on the form Report of

    operations of the sales account and will be prepared according to the instructions and from the sources of data stated on its reverse side. It includes a statement of the quantities of the different types of rations issued during the previous month and the values of each type. The report serves as a medium to transmit much important basic information to the Office of The Quartermaster General in connection with the operations of sales commissaries. It is used as one of the necessary bases in the computation and justification of applicable portions of appropriation estimates and the establishment and maintenance of fiscal accounting and overall operational controls. The copies retained in the sales commissary will serve as the basis for any future reports that may be required of past operations.
    b. The auditor, after checking the Sales Officer’s Account, will verify the accuracy of the Monthly Commissary Operating Statement as submitted. If such verification discloses that the statement as
    submitted was materially incorrect, a notation to this effect will be made in the Certificate of Audit, and action as provided in TM 14-1012 will be taken.
    90. Optional Current Records
    In addition to these two prescribed records the sales officer will find it advantageous to institute a system of daily inventory reports from the cooler and vegetable warehouse. These daily reports should list the quantities of perishable subsistence on hand, either left over from previous field ration issues or received for future issue. They will be useful in adjusting menus to stocks on hand and will enable substitutions to be made as required by the troop training program. These reports will be informal, vary as the requirements of the sales commissary vary, and having served their purpose will be destroyed. No file of such reports will be maintained.
