Einen Container aus einer Charge zurückweisen


Explanation:
"Charge" and "Los" are possible translations for "lot". Schäfer gives as alternatives: Los, Fertigungslos, Charge, Partie, Auflage, Serie. However, Charge and Los are the ones, that common ERP softwares use most (Baan, SAP).

Aus einer Partie einen Container beanstanden


Explanation:
The English sentence seems to me to stress that one container, not two or more, are being rejected. Therfore, the stress should be on that. Depending on the context, it could also be given as: Aus einer ganzen Partie einen einzigen Container zurückweisen/beanstanden.
