English term

to release a purchase/an outlet requisition

English to French Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Hi,

what verb do you think would be used for that in French?

"Route the outlet requisition for approval (After final approval, the system will release the outlet requisition.)"

"If Auto Release is not used, release the purchase requisition."

Thanks in advance for your help.

Petite précision qui arrive plus tard dans le texte (je ne l'avais pas vue):

"To release means to confirm that a purchase requisition or an outlet requisition is correct and to send the requisition to the next stage in a process."
mchd Oct 20, 2012:
émettre ou valider Les deux réponses peuvent se concevoir en fonction de la traduction de "purchase requisition", ce qui n'est, en principe, qu'une demande
d'achat. "Emettre" convient si "purchase requisition" est une formalisation de l'achat. Par contre, "valider" convient s'il s'agit d'une opération de traitement comme le dit Tony, dans la poursuite du processus. Simple avis !

valider (pour traitement)

Judging from what appears to be the context, I'd say this is the sort of process that is going on here — though i'm very far from sure, of coursej, just how bes to express that in FR!

OK, so according to your added context, we do indeed have 'confirmation' prior to onward processing — this seems to corroborate my suggestion of 'valider'.

This is a common enough usage of 'release' in a business context — for example, releasing an invoice for payment once the department has checked that the goods have indeed been received correctly.

'générer' would be more like 'to raise / issue' (a document, invoice, etc.)
