Safety procedure management procedure
I have seen that this means non-return date in IT parlance but don't understand how to incorporte this concept into this phrase:
"Documents associés (à la procédure):
- Cahier des charges achat ***en date***
- Etiquettage pour le suivi des tests à réception
- Matrice des prélèvements
- Base de données..."
Purchasing specifications, non-return principle?
Specifications, non-return purchase?
Any suggestions welcome. Many thanks!

What I understand is " The date of receipt for item purchased"!

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Salih, but I don't think this is it. Could it be Purchase Specifications at THIS date (i.e. the date of the document I am translating or the date the document is signed)? Or perhaps Purchase Specifications dated.... (blankety blank - to be filled in)? Would this make sense in French? |

I believe the correct term is "as at" or"as of" [date]
Laurence, want to enter it as an answer?
"en date du 14 juin 2012" (dated 14th June 2012)
"...le dernier en date." (...the last one to date.)
Not sure how this can be used alone.
Maybe it's intended as a standard form adn the date is to be added, as in my first example.
