Japanese term

売上本数

Japanese to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
I know this can be translated as "sales volume" but I need to differentiate 販売本数 and 売上本数...
which can both be translated as "sales volume" Anyone have any good ideas?

Thank you!

売上本数 VS 販売本数 I agree with Shibuya-san. If you want to talk about sales volume you should use 売上本数. Where as if you want to talk about the number of products for sale, you should choose 販売本数.

Yes. It may still depend on the context, but Takako's differentiation seems reasonable to me. 販売本数=units for sale.

My answer is for 売上本数 販売本数 might be about products being offered for sale, and 売上本数 a result of the sales.

sold volume

I think that this refers to how many products were actually sold.
Note from asker:
Is this answer for the term 販売本数 then?

neutral Raitei : In order to use "pieces," you need to know exactly what has been sold. English is not Japanese just as Legos and not Tinkertoys.

Units sold

Declined
My inclination is that this may be the difference between them:

販売本数: Units for sale (units available for sale)
売上本数: Units sold

agree Jeremy Rosenberg : "units" is suitably generic

Thank you, Jeremy! :-)
agree izziS : 販売本数という言葉からcountable productの事を指しているようなので、units soldがいいと思います。

This way you can differentiate between the products sold and products for sale.
