ABSTRACT:
A method and device for reordering items stored as groups in an inventory of items which includes an order sheet and a group of labels deposited with each group of items. Each label has a part number corresponding to the item and an index mark printed on one side and a second side treated with a peelable adhesive. When an item is withdrawn from a group of items, a label is attached to a sheet which thus becomes an order sheet. Index marks are printed on the order sheet which are aligned with index marks printed on each label. When the customer desires to order items to replenish depleted stock, he mails or "faxes" the order sheet to the supplier. The supplier may then (either manually or with character reading equipment) identify the item to be ordered and the quantity to be ordered from the number of labels on the order sheet. He may then compute price, taxes, etc., and print out an order form using this information. The index marks may simply be lines. The labels may be stored prior to use by peelable attachment to a sheet of labels or from a roll of labels.
