General Ordering Information

The Interagency Cache Business System (ICBS) and the Resource Ordering and Status System (ROSS) are now interfacing. This interface allows ROSS users to enter Supply (S) number requests to be sent directly to the cache for processing and filling. The cache, via ICBS is allowed to input S numbers for supply orders that go directly to the cache without the request being created in ROSS. These S numbers must be assigned by the incident and be between 100000 – 199999. This interface also allows ROSS users to see fill information for all S numbers that the cache has filled, no matter which way the requests were initiated.

Cache orders from any Unit will require S-numbers assigned by the ordering Unit, one per line item.

For incident orders: quantities may be adjusted up or down to accommodate for shipping convenience and/or restrictions.
