German term

Abschriftenbedarf

German to English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Business plan
Die Ansprüche gegenüber den Kunden der XXX sind vertraglich abzusichern.Im Falle des Zahlungsausfalls oder aber der Nichtabnahme durch die Kunden der XXX ist von einem Dritt-Verwertungsrisiko auszugehen.
Im schlimmsten Fall würde ein teilweiser **Abschriftenbedarf** aufgrund ungünstiger Verwertungskonditionen entstehen.

Partial requirement for copies? I think not...

TIA

Oh, of course. Ich steh auf der Leitung! ;-)) I took it as a joke ... but thanks for reminding me ;-))))

>silfilla: Non-native speaker. Never heard that before in the friendly banter that flows around on the boards??? (Zauberfl�te: "In diesen heiligen Hallen, kennt man die Rache nicht" ;-) That was meant as a joke BTW - for all I know, you could be Swiss, Cherokee, Matabele, Haitian or even from Manchester ;-)
silfilla Jul 4, 2005:
NNS? ;-)
Non-ProZ.com Jun 26, 2005:
Write-offs Thanks Silfilla. I wondered whether "Abschreibungen" was/were meant. Maybe just bad source? Let's see if anyone else wants to add their mustard on this sunny Sunday :)

added post-grading:

I just found the following _Swiss_ glossary; the explanation for \"Abschriftenplanung\" confirms my initial suggestion but *Abschrift* alone would be *discount/[price] rebate*:

# Abschrift
# Reduzierter Verkaufspreis zur Beschleunigung des Absatzes. Siehe auch Abschriftenplanung.

# Abschriftenplanung
# Bestandteil der Limitplanung. Gibt die Preisminderungen im Verkaufswert an, die pro Verkaufsperiode (Monat, Woche) und pro Waren- oder Artikelgruppe geplant sind, um die Abverkäufe zu beschleunigen ( Slowseller-/Penner- Management, Altwarenmanagement ). Siehe auch Abschrift.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks silfilla and all and sorry for the delay in grading. Been busy. I added an "Anm. der Cheredaktion", in the doc, the agency agreed and the client has not whinged. Grotty German phrasing methinks, but I am a NNS."
