record in the inventory/log Explanation: Here, I believe "bank in" means to record the delivery in the inventory or log, so yes, I think it means to put on the books. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2010-02-10 19:51:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: I think that this is a rather uncommon use of "to bank in" which usually has a different (more physical) meaning (e.g., to bank in a shot in basketball or billiards). Most Google or Yahoo! searches of "bank in" will yield examples of the literally meaning (as in, "Where is the best place to bank in Australia?"). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2010-02-10 19:52:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (Sorry, I meant "literal" meaning). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2010-02-10 19:58:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's an example of "banked in" referred to money being deposited: This is especially so if the buyer's deposit has been banked in and there are e-mail exchanges to show that a deal had been agreed upon, the Court of Appeal has ruled. http://business.asiaone.com/Business/My Money/Property/Story... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2010-02-10 20:01:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- NB: I have found one dictionary entry for "bank" meaning to arrange, so it is at least possible that the author intended to mean that the items were shelved or arranged. If this is the case here, then the meaning is ambiguous without additional context. –verb (used with object) 10. to arrange in a bank: to bank the seats; to bank the lights. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bank?o=100074 |
