What is the purpose of the COR receipt?

The purpose of the COR (Command Operational Receipt) is indeed to issue items to the customer. This documentation is an essential part of the supply chain management process, as it serves as a formal acknowledgment of the items received and confirms that they have been issued to the end user, be it an individual or a unit.

By processing a COR receipt, the responsible logistics personnel ensure that accountability and traceability are maintained throughout the supply chain. This step is critical, as it not only facilitates the transfer of ownership of the items but also updates inventory records accordingly. Maintaining accurate records of issued items helps prevent discrepancies and supports effective inventory management, while also ensuring that all parties involved are aware of what has been received by the customer.

In the context of supply requisition management, the issuance of items through a COR receipt contributes to overall readiness and resource availability for Marine Corps operations, aligning with the broader logistics and supply chain objectives of the organization.
