Copy 1 of the requisition is sent to the purchasing department and Copy 2 is filed.Upon receipt of the requisition, the purchasing clerk selects a supplier from the valid vendor file (reference file) and prepares a three-part purchase order. Copy 1 is sent to  the  supplier,  Copy  2  is  sent  to  the  accounts  payable  department  where  it  is  filed temporarily, and Copy 3 is filed in the purchases department.A  few  days  after  the  supplier  ships  the  order,  the  goods  arrive  at  the  receiving department.  They are inspected, and the receiving clerk prepares a three-part receiving report describing the number and quality of the items received. Copy 1 of the  receiving  report  accompanies  the  goods  to  the  warehouse,  where  they  are secured and the receiving report is filed.
