ABC Inc buys inventory from various suppliers. ABC Inc policy requires that a prenumbered receiving report be prepared for each receipt. All purchases are FOB destination. At the time of receipt, the receiving clerk writes the receipt date on the receiving report. The last receipt for the year ended December 31 2019 was recorded on document 4335. Receiving reports are attached to vouchers in the order that the accounting clerk receives the receiving report.

For late December and early January, receiving reports are attached to vouchers as follows:

		Receiving Report No.				Voucher No.
		4331				8327
		4332				8331
		4333				8332
		4334				8335
		4335				8336
		4336				8333
		4337				8334
		4338				8338
		4339				8340
		4340				8339
