Norwegian term or phrase: anvrop
Hi

I am translating a tender document and the word "avrop" appears several times, but it seems to me that it has different meanings depending on the context.

(1)
Alle kjøp på Avtalen foretas gjennom skriftlige *avrop* til Leverandøren.
Kunden vil ved behov *avrope* tilbehør, reservedeler og
Bestilling skjer gjennom *avrop* på Avtalen etter bestemmelsene i punkt 2.
-> In these sentences, it appears that it means "order" , "request", etc.

(2)
*Avrop* på Avtalen kan skje i perioden fra og med XX til og med XX.
-> In this sentence, it appears that it means "cancellation", "calling off"

(3)
*Avrop*:
Hver enkelt XX, gjennom XX, kan foreta *avrop* på Avtalen.
-> Here, it can mean many things "cancel" , "call off" , "make a decision" , "make a request"

The official translation of this word is "call off" , but it doesn't seem to apply always.

Any suggestions?

Explanation:
(1) ... to the Supplier. (2) (made) under the Agreement (3) ditto (2).

I used to work in export in the UK, but have no recollection of 'call-offs' - mea culpa!

PS unlikely to mean cancellation or recall as in Abruf in DEU.

Fair enough. The terminology in the US must be different (BrE) to (AmE) than the UK where, when dealing in the trade with export and retail instal(l)ment contracts, I distinctly recall having submitted *instal(l)ment requisition forms*.

Asker: I will go with "order" and only use "call-off" when it makes sense. Thanks :)
