missing and damaged items
"Monitur ist ein Fachbegriff aus dem Speditionswesen und bezeichnet die Reklamation oder Abschreibung von Mängeln, Beschädigungen oder das Fehlen von Frachtgut oder diese auch selber.
"Der Begriff kommt von lat. monere=ermahnen."
As Wikipedia says, it means the act of writing them off or raising queries with the supplier, and also the items themselves. I think my suggested translation covers both.

complaint
dict.cc has 'monitum' = complaint, LEO has nothing. Reminds me to admonish, both derived from Latin.
