Dutch term or phrase: Kostenleverancier

Deze term kom ik tegen in een voorraadadministratieprogramma van een grote winkelketen.

Hier een voorbeeld zin:

Melding [op het scherm:] ‘Leverancier mag geen kostenleverancier zijn’

Alvast bedankt.

cost deliverer

Explanation:
I think you can translate this literally. "Kostenleverancier" is not a very common Dutch word, but I think it means something like "kostenpost".

It is certainly not a typo, because words are far more often written as compounds in Dutch than they are in English.

How about this: "Het lijstje met kostenleveranciers wordt gemaakt uit alle ooit gebruikte leveranciers in de kostentabel".

Notes to answerer

Asker: To be honest, when I first encountered this term I thought it was a typo and that 'kosten leverancier' was meant.

14 hrs confidence:

kostenleverancier cost provider

Explanation:
Not sure about this one at all really, just offering some food for thought...

Compare the Dutch and English versions of this press release:
EN: https://secure.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/release?id=200825
NL: http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/cgi/news/release?id=200827

-> "Adopted the mission to be the lowest cost provider of a comprehensive pension service to our customers."
vs.
-> "Heeft de missie aangenomen de laagste kostenleverancier te zijn van allesomvattende pensioendiensten aan onze klanten."

Interestingly, references to kostenleverancier on internet sites nearly always seem to be in the combination 'lage/laagste kostenleverancier', remarkably akin to 'low/lowest cost provider'...

Reference: Geen kostenpost

Reference information:
In http://demo.interimworx.nl/vacature/finance/2006/06/16/Medew... wordt een personeelsfunctie beschreven waarbij de term 'kostenleverancier' een aantal keren voorkomt. Hoewel niet duidelijk wordt wat ermee wordt bedoeld, lijkt het in ieder geval niet om een kostenpost te gaan.

Note to reference poster

Asker: Hallo Jack, Onder het mom van 'nee heb je en ja kun je krijgen' heb ik het bedrijf gebeld. Degene die ik sprak was compleet verrast door mijn vraag en vertelde mij dat men dergelijke termen helemaal niet gebruikt. Wat ik nogal vreemd vond. Men kon mij dus geen antwoord geven :( Maar in ieder geval bedankt voor de link. Ik heb voor 'cost deliverer' gekozen omdat dit het dichtst in de buurt kwam.
