If a pharmacy uses a manual inventory system, writing down items that need to be ordered, this 'list' is often referred to as:

1. Purchase order

2. An invoice

3. A wantbook

4. A MAR

The correct answer is: A wantbook

A "list" created in a pharmacy using a manual inventory system to keep track of items that need to be ordered is often referred to as a "wantbook." This term is often used in pharmacies and medical facilities to describe such lists, often handwritten and kept near the pharmacy or inventory management area for easy access. While options A, B, and D are all relevant to the inventory management process, they do not specifically refer to the list of items that need to be reordered. "Purchase order" is an official document that is sent to suppliers to request items, "an invoice" is a document sent by a supplier with an itemized list of goods or services provided and the associated costs, and "a MAR" (Medication Administration Record) is a document that tracks the medications given to a patient. These terms are not interchangeable with "wantbook" and would not accurately describe the list
