DAE

English translation: e-document

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / abbreviation
French term or phrase: DAE
Hi all -

I am translating a list of commercial terms (just a list, no full sentences) and there appears the following abbreviation: DAE.
The list is all about the creation and management of a company's e-learning program. The costs are administrative, such as equipment purchase or rental, instructor fees and creation of learning materials.

Here is how it appears in this listing
Réaliser les demandes d'achat (DAE)
Traiter les factures
Suivre les coûts

So the D and the A refer to the "demandes d'achat" but I don't know what the "E" stands for.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

If it's an official govt document it would appear to be a e-AD as here:

In your case it could be an electronic purchase order
