re-stock permit Explanation: A "bon" is used in industry where we would use "slip" "card" "sheet" as in time card or time slip or travel sheet. In this case it appears to be authorization to re-stock some inventory when a certain depletion level has occurred. (FIFO is "First In First Out" -- a method of keeping inventory low and rotated. The English words and abbreviation are used directly in French without translation). my experience translating for French industry, and from working in a manufacturing environment in France. |

destocking slip Explanation: From the GDT (ref below) : gestion 1 / 2 storageSyn.stockingstoring stockage n. m.Syn.emmagasinage n. m. emmagasinement n. m. entreposage n. m. Déf. :Action consistant à regrouper et à disposer les biens qui constituent le stock, de préférence dans un ordre déterminé et dans des conditions matérielles favorables à leur conservation et à leur manutention. Note :Le terme « stockage » est l'antonyme du terme « déstockage ».C'est par analogie que les termes « emmagasinage » et « emmagasinement » ont un autre sens que celui qui s'applique à un magasin. [Office de la langue française, 1999] manutention et stockage 1 / 1 destocking déstockage n. m. Déf. :Action consistant à retirer d'un stock les marchandises qui le constituent au fur et à mesure des besoins. Note :Le terme « déstockage » est l'antonyme de « stockage ».Le terme « déstockage » est employé à tort pour désigner l'absence momentanée d'une marchandise dans le stock. Il faut plutôt employer l'expression « rupture de stock ». [Office de la langue française, 1999] Just for fun ... there must be a joke in there womewhere with "stocking" and "slip"...
