2. Wherever possible Units detailed indents are to be consolidated by Ordnance
Officers of formations into one bulk indent on the Advanced Base.
3. Stores demanded in detail will be loaded in trucks with those demanded in
bulk
4. Bulk indents need not of necessity be sent in every week. If Formation
Commanders so desire, they may instruct their Ordnance Officers to hold back one or
more week’s indents and submit them in consolidated form at longer intervals - but if
thi- is done the Ordnance cannot be responsible for the delay in supply which may
result therefrom.
5 On the other hand where sufficient urgency exists indents for sores or clothing
are to be submitted by wire instead of being held back for the next bulk indent.
Stores or clothing so demanded will be sent forward at once from Advanced Base
regardless of the weekly programme

on the previous bulk indent. .
Units, however, should not re-indent for the same stores except in the circumstances
described in paragraph (7) below. . i

outstanding for two months will be an omatically canc lied. If any of the stores
included in such indents are still required, units concerned are to re-demand from the
Ordnancenvicerxehetisiro"senptlensy marked “RE-DEMAND,” and will quote the
number and date of the original indent and the authority for the issue of the stores
requiKednotification of cancellation need be made by units as on the first of each
month all indents bearing the unit’s date up to and includingthe last day of the third
