Unfortunately, I don’t think it is a matter of cross training. The higher ups do not want to give too many people the ability to order supplies.

As in most organizations, I suspect that some of the middle managers could have been “cut,” as this one cannot seem to figure out a solution - other than to say, “we are short staffed; please be patient with us.”

When they run completely out of paper, I will just keep my lips zipped and quietly think to myself, “I told you so.” I know how easy it is to get yourself added to the ability to order. It like does not even need expenditure officer approval. It may need that to “approve” the order and to ship it, but not to “submit” the order.
