voltages
91
• Reservations need to be sent in by
noon of the day before drayage
92
• Before sending in reservation
do an MB25 to see if a reservation already exists. Also check for backorders pending that will be shipped on order.
93
• Requisitions have to have
requestor’s name and phone number in head deck text
