dispatch type Explanation: This is how I would say it. The 'Försändelse' could be any kind of shipment, letter, parcel etc., so I would keep it vague. Also, 'delivery' implies that the dispatch has in fact been delivered, but 'Försändelsetyp' only entails that the dispatch has actually been dispatched. |

consignment type Explanation: this term was used at my last permanent place of employment before I went freelance. I was working for an electronics manufacturer in logistics and this was the term used in SAP for expediting packages to/from the end user/customer etc Reference: http://www.catalyst-uk-support.com/kb/index.php?title=TI55_-... |
