B) there is extra money in the supply budget.

C) the colored tag placed at the reorder point has appeared.

D) the dental company representative pays a visit to the office.

Supplies are ordered as they are needed, not just when there is extra money in the budget. In a manual inventory system, tags should already be set aside in a “to be ordered” section for the dental company representative to pick up.*
