Els Spin Netherlands 08:12 Jul 8, 2008  Langclinic must be sleeping in today :-) Demi Ebrite United States 23:35 Jul 7, 2008  I believe langclinic will offer more specifics when the sun is up and the day begins in India. Els Spin Netherlands 21:47 Jul 7, 2008  I could make another guess/suggestion, but I don't believe Langclinic is very interested... Martin Cassell United Kingdom 13:38 Jul 7, 2008  One guess: it might be a jargon used derived from "permute"/"permutation", as in betting. Bernhard Sulzer United States 05:53 Jul 7, 2008  customer permanently closes out their stock/inventory? Just thinking... Bernhard Sulzer United States 05:17 Jul 7, 2008  corr.: - customer allows to/permanently ...what? Bernhard Sulzer United States 05:16 Jul 7, 2008  If all of "either a customer perms out their stock or an E or B is lost" is to be taken as examples of a loss of business and 'stock" indeed means shares, then I am still baffled by what perms out would mean - customers allow to/ permanently ...what? Bernhard Sulzer United States 05:03 Jul 7, 2008  ...flows measured by Recall and E or B to loss of business? What are E and B. What kind of business are we talking about? Thanks. Bernhard Sulzer United States 05:01 Jul 7, 2008  could be short for "permits", "permission" or "permanent(ly) allows" etc. but there is no way to be sure. Would any of these meanings apply? And "stock" is to be understood as inventory, right? Does perm seem to be linked to... Demi Ebrite United States 04:41 Jul 7, 2008  I've seen the use of the term 'perm' in the life insurance business, as an abbr. for 'permanent', as in 'Term or Perm life insurance' , but I have never seen it used in this way, with reference to 'stock', or 'loss of business'.
