Cargo SOP
This SOP is not official yet and is a W I P
Handling Orders
Orders are to be taken and handled as they come in. Orders out of the ordinary or not on the pre-approved list for a department are to be vetted with Item Request Forms.
1. Only Cargo Technicians and the Quartermaster shall place orders. Non-Cargo crew members should never touch the cargo computer.
2. On Codes Red, Violet, or Gamma, item request forms shall not be required for any orders.
3. Orders are not required to be delivered to their recipients. However, the mailing system or normal deliveries may take place on Code Green or Blue.
4. Item Request Forms are to be filled out should the requestor's department not match the pre-approved item list.
5. Passengers must fill out an Item Request Form for any request.
6. To be valid the order request form must must state:
- Time of request.
- Name and title of requestor.
- Quantity of items and reason for request.
- Any special statements or considerations.
- Stamp from the requestor's head if the order is large or contains potential contraband.
7. All orders should have 3 copies.
- One copy is to be stored for future review if needed, such as a Security review.
- One copy is to be placed for the Quartermaster's review.
- One copy is to be returned for the requestor for proof of their order.
The order may then be entered fully into the cargo request computer. The entered request should include all relevant information that was provided, including reason for the order, as well as requestor. The request SHOULD NOT be approved. Technicians may not approve requests unless it is an emergency.
5. Upon receipt of 5 or more requests, or after 15 minutes, all current requests should be brought to the Quartermaster for review and approval. Alternatively, the Quartermaster may use their digiboard, and a cargo technician may approve the paperwork with the relevant stamp.
6. Once an order has arrived, the order slip should be posted outside of Cargo for the requestor's use.
7. In order to receive their order, the requestor must bring their original request form and present it to the cargo technician or Quartermaster.
8. Non-cargo personnel may not use the cargo ordering computer.
9. Orders for the basic materials (glass, steel, plastic, cloth) may be placed by cargo personnel for the Cargo department if the material is below a limit of 180 between all lathes and loose resources.

Cargo Technician
1. Technicians report directly to the quartermaster.
2. Technicians are responsible for handling of orders, and retrieval from the ATS once approved must not be delayed more than 10 minutes. Delays longer than this, without sufficient cause, can be considered negligence or incompetence.
3. Crates that are part of an order should not be opened. Instead their label should be checked for questions about their contents and the requestor.
4. Secure crates should not be opened by force. An exception is made if ordered to do so by the head of the relevant department or captain during an emergency.
5. Issues with policy or employment should be directed to the quartermaster or head of personnel. Any mention of "Cargonia" will be met with contract termination.
Quartermaster
1. All order forms which would require another departments stamp must also have the quartermasters stamp to be valid.
2. It is the Quartermaster's ultimate responsibility to make sure forms are correct and in order. Incorrect paperwork approved by the quartermaster can be considered negligence or incompetence.
3. The Quartermaster may not order security equipment without the express permission of the Head of security or the captain. In dire emergencies such as the confirmation of nuclear operatives this restriction is waved until the situation is under control.
Salvager
1. You report directly to the quartermaster, a communication line with them should be maintained at all times. Refusal to answer the quartermaster or failure to maintain communication with them can be considered negligence.
2. Cargo should be supplied with a stack of steel, plastic, and glass within 40 minutes of the shift start.
3. Dangerous expeditions can only be undertook with the express permission of the quartermaster. Going on unauthorized expeditions is ground for demotion.
4. Contraband found while on the job should not be used, except in extreme life or death situations. All contraband collected must be turned into Security upon re-docking with the station. Contraband should be transported in hand or in a secure crate.
??? 5. In an emergency you are allowed to defend cargo instead instantly seeking help from security.
