Transport / Transportation / Shipping / logistic software | | English term or phrase: car stock items/ non-car stock | hello all,
can someone tell me what "car stock items" and the opposite "non-car items" could mean?
Context: Logistic software for PDA
"Car Stock items will have Resupply ticked by default. Non-car stock items will be unticked. You can tick or untick as you see fit." It doesn't seem to make reference to automotive market. It seems like more general. But maybe i'm wrong.
Any idea? |
| | | English translation:Car parts / car accessories stock | Explanation:
Accessories are still car-related but they are not essential to keep the car in good running order. Stock means everything that is always on the shelves but accessories may sometimes have to be ordered when a customer wants them. Instead of car parts you can, of course, call them auto parts, automotive parts, etc.
