Chapter 8 - Food receipt and dispatch

II. Receipt of Food

A. Ways that Food is Received

		(introduction...)
		1. Discharged at Port
		2. Through Bill of Lading
		3. Received as a Loan or Transfer
		4. Received as a Repayment of a Loan
		5. Transferred to Another Warehouse
		6. Returned to the Warehouse

3. Received as a Loan or Transfer

With donor approval, food may be loaned or transferred from another NGO, the World Food Program or from another CARE project. CARE will repay loans from future stocks. A transfer is an allocation from one donor program to another and is not repaid.

If CARE arranges for transport, a CARE waybill is used to document the receipt. If CARE does not arrange for transport, the warehouse manager or storekeeper must insure that the receiving information included on the waybill matches that on CARE's waybill. If not, the warehouse manager or storekeeper should write the information in the Receipt section of the non-CARE waybill and intial changes/additions along with the transporter.

Country Office Example

USAID approves the loan to CARE of 1,000 MT of wheat from another NGO in Ethiopia. CARE arranges for the transport from the NGO's warehouse to the CARE warehouse, using CARE waybills. The receiving warehouse storekeeper uses the Receipt Information section of the waybill to document the receipt of the loan. The same process occurs for a transfer.

In another case, a loan is approved, but the other NGO transports the food from its warehouse to a CARE or counterpart warehouse using its waybills. If the Receipt section of the NGOs waybill is different than the CARE waybill, the CARE or counterpart warehouse manager or storekeeper should make certain that he/she includes on the NGO waybill all the information required for the Receipt Information section of the CARE waybill. Once this is done the warehouse manager or storekeeper and the transporter would sign the waybill.
