Discussion

Steffen Walter Apr 9, 2020:
Vorabzug ... has originally been a printing/publishing term - see http://www.moog-druck.de/druckvorstufe/ and refers to the document status. Nothing to do with monies, payment deductions etc.
Teangacha (X) Apr 9, 2020:
@ Steffen I understand what you mean Steffen, and it is very possible that you are correct, but rather than referring to the actual draft document, could it not be referring to what is written in the draft document? I wonder what the preceding sentence says?
Steffen Walter Apr 9, 2020:
Which type of tender ... ... is this about? Construction?

preliminary version; draft version; preliminary text, draft text

Often, Vorabzug is translated as "draft". Here the reference back is to the text in the Underlagen.

if necessary, as a preliminary deduction

preliminary = preceding or done in preparation for something fuller or more important.

Peer comment(s):
disagree Steffen Walter : But not "deduction" - this seems to refer to a draft/preliminary document version.

neutral Chris Pr : The same asker has now queried "advance payments", so further clarification will be needed here...
