Card columns 40-43

Note in the Julian Date Calendar shown below that the 225th day is August 13. This occurred because this calendar is used for count- ing the days in nonleap years (1981, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, etc.). It is important that the RP use the right calendar when Julian dates are utilized. Since this requisition is being transmitted in a leap year, the correct entry for card columns 36 through 39 for August 12, 1980, is “0225.” Card columns 40-43 (SERIAL) Serial numbers are assigned at the discretion of the originating command. The personnel in the supply department will assist the RP in determining the proper serial number for each requisition. Serial numbers cannot be duplicated on the same day. The Naval Education and Training Program Development Center (NAVEDTRAPRODEVCEN) has assigned the serial number block “ø2øø through 0299” to the Command Religious Program for fiscal year 1980. This is the 23rd requisition of the year processed by the office of the chaplain; therefore, “0223” is the proper entry for card columns 40 through 43. NOTE: Card columns 30 through 43 (SER- V I C E , R E Q U I S I T I O N E R , D A T E , a nd SERIAL) make up the document number of a requisition. The document number for this requisition is shown below. Appendix 24 of NAVSUP P-437 provides guidance on proper entries for document numbers. Card Column 44 (DEMAND) Stock points (NSCs, NSDs, INASs, and DSCs) are financed on the basis of an annual budget. The inventory manager at each of these stock points must rely primarily upon the demand coding assigned by the customer during the previous year to project which items must be replenished for the next year. Therefore, demand coding is the MOST IMPORTANT ele- ment of a DD Form 1348 to the customer and to the supply system which is tasked with the con- tinual support of all customers. Demand codes are listed in Appendix 13 of NAVSUP P-437. 2-21
