FMED 573 is used for which of the following?

• A. External demands issue and receipt voucher
• B. Medical and dental material
• C. Internal stock transfer order
• D. Requisition approval form

Answer: (A)

FMED 573 is used for documenting external demand issue and receipt. In this process, stock is issued from the medical store to meet an external demand, and the corresponding receipt is recorded against that demand, creating a clear, auditable trail from outflow to inflow. The form typically captures item details, quantities, units, dates, the external demand reference, consignee information, and required approvals, ensuring accountability and stock reconciliation with the external party.

This differs from internal flows or generic material categories. An internal stock transfer order handles movements within the organization, not external demands. A requisition approval form is used to initiate internal procurement processes, rather than to document the external issuance and receipt.
