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.
