French term

stock hors lot nul

French to English Tech/Engineering Military / Defense helicopters
This phrase occurs as "SITUATION LOGISTIQUE : STOCK HORS LOT NUL" under the heading SITUATION DES MATERIELS, and refers to a fault in a helicopter gas turbine engine. This may, or may not, be a standard phrase in military or logistical terminology, but it's not clear exactly what it means. "Lot nul" could possibly mean U/S or SNAFU or similar, but why HORS lot nul?
Any ideas?

Chris I don't see where you get "useless/scrap" from. Doesn't it mean something like "non-batch stock: zero"?
mchd May 18, 2011:
scrap might do However, a lot that has not been accepted is also "nul", as well as a lot pending rework is ! "Useless" can carry the meaning and be more vague and appropriate in the sense of an inventory.
Just some thoughts !
chris collister (asker) May 18, 2011:
in the slang sense: useless, shagged, clapped out. But a better register might be U/S, scrap. Ie store it anywhere but the scrap heap.
mchd May 18, 2011:
you're welcome ! I would be interested in your approach regarding "lot nul" !
chris collister (asker) May 18, 2011:
Yes, that does make more sense! A LOT more sense, in fact...
mchd May 18, 2011:
except "Hors" has the meaning of "except".

zero non-serialized stock (il n'y a pas de stock nul qui soit hors lot)

Hello,

I think that they might be "zero non-serialized stock"

stock = stock

hors lot = non-serialized

nul = zero

Non-serialized Inventory

Non-serialized inventory items are small parts that are generally indistinguishable from one another. Items received from different vendors are assumed to be interchangeable for filling any inventory part request. Non-serialized items can be sold and tracked in fractional quantities up to the nearest millionth of a part (i.e.: 43.3082 widgets). Note, however, that while you can use any vendor's product for a given job, the cost of these items may vary depending on the item's vendor.
