Thank you Caterina Now it all makes sense. With only a short piece of the text, it is like a guessing game.

Caterina Cutrupi (asker) Mar 5, 2016:

when I asked my client to explain "affidamento commenrciale", she replied: "per affidamento commerciale intendiamo che verranno valutate le risposte di fido da parte dell’assicurazione per valutare la solidità aziendale dei clienti". That's all.

Caterina Cutrupi (asker) Mar 5, 2016:

Hi James. thanks for your As I said, it's a short letter, with no much more context than the sentences below, including the words "affidamenti commerciali":
"- In caso di ricezione di ordinativi da clienti nuovissimi (ad oggi non anagrafati) o di clienti già anagrafati per cui il rapporto commerciale si sia chiuso da oltre 2 stagioni, gli ordini verranno regolarmente processati dagli Agenti o dai diretti Responsabili Aziendali MA accompagnati obbligatoriamente da una mail che segnali la posizione particolare di cliente nuovissimo o cliente con cui si riprenda un rapporto interrotto;
- Gli ordini rimarranno on-hold e non visibili per i lanci di produzione fino al momento in cui arriverranno e saranno valutati i relativi affidamenti commerciali;
- La stessa procedura dovrà essere applicata ad ordinativi ricevuti da clienti già in portafoglio che superino complessivamente le 200 paia in riferimento ai valori storici di acquisto; "

Hi Caterina It is difficult to understand why you don't want to just copy and paste five to ten lines of the original Italian. Where does the "risposte di fido da parte dell’assicurazione" come in, when you say it is a letter from a shoe company. If we ignore this, then they are saying that they aren't going to launch production on an order until they know that the customer has been granted a credit line (presumably to purchase the orders) and until they have assessed it. If we can see more of the surrounding text, we can see a good way of translating it. A customer may have a very high credit rating, but if he is already borrowing on it he won't get a new loan.

Neither of their answers fits your sentence, though that's not their fault because they didn't have the full context, and we still don't. But I'm glad you feel your question has been answered.

Caterina Cutrupi (asker) Mar 4, 2016:

These are the author's words when I asked myself clarifications. Anyway, it's very nice of you to worry about that, but I think that Lara and Ana Claudia have already been sufficiently helpful to me. Thanks a lot.

philgoddard Mar 4, 2016:

I don't understand what you mean by "risposte di fido da parte dell' assicurazione".

Caterina Cutrupi (asker) Mar 4, 2016:

it's a simple letter - from a company manufacturing shoes - informing the addressees (agents, distributors, who knows?) that a new procedure regarding receipt of orders from new customers has been implemented. The author requires that orders come with additional information on such customers, including "affidamento commerciale".

Sorry Phil, I cannot be more exhaustive than this.

philgoddard Mar 4, 2016:

Sorry if I'm being slow, but I still don't understand the context. What is this about? What is the role of the insurance company? And could I trouble you for a bit more of the surrounding text?

Caterina Cutrupi (asker) Mar 4, 2016:

"Gli ordini rimarranno on-hold e non visibili per i lanci di produzione fino al momento in cui arriverranno e saranno valutati i relativi affidamenti commerciali".

philgoddard Mar 4, 2016:

Please could we have the sentence containing the phrase.
