Terms & Conditions of Purchase
"Die vorgenommene Übergabe der Ware ist uns durch Zusendung des quittierten Lieferscheines in 2-facher Ausfertigung anzuzeigen."
My translation so far:
"Notification of goods delivered must be sent to us in the form of a countersigned delivery note made out in duplicate."
From a company's terms and conditions of purchasing goods from suppliers. This sentence has thrown me off course. If the company has received goods from one of its suppliers why would the supplier have to send a signed delivery note to the purchaser? Wouldn't the purchaser already have a signed delivery note, i.e. the thing he signed when taking delivery of the goods.
Or have I misunderstood everything?
