I would suggest that you develop a list of the supplies that are your standard supplies, to include the price and order/item #, so that you can easily take inventory of your existing supplies, mark the items you need, and place your order from there.  If your supply closet is open to the office, where you do not physically control access to the items, then you can place that list on the door or in some other prominent place and request that if anyone takes the last of an item that they mark it on the sheet to ensure that more are ordered.  This also helps in those cases where someone comes to you and requests specific items (say, folders).  You hand them the list and ask them which type (off your already approved list) they want and how many.  This helped me in the past when I was in charge of ordering supplies.
