Individuals who receive and process incoming orders for a wide variety of goods or services such as spare parts for machines, consumer appliances, gas and electric power connections, film rentals and articles of clothing. Orders for materials, merchandise or services can come from inside or outside an organization. In large companies with many worksites such as automobile manufacturers, clerks order parts and equipment from the company's warehouses. Inside order clerks receive orders from other workers employed by the same company or from salespersons in the field. Outside order clerks receive orders from outside companies or individuals. Order clerks in wholesale businesses, for example, receive orders from retail establishments for merchandise that the retailer, in turn, sells to the public. Other outside order clerks work for catalogue companies and online retailers and receive and process orders from individual customers by telephone, fax, regular mail or email.
