I admit that it shoud be "approvisionnement" (i.e. supply of the goods) and NOT "approbation" as I have incorrectly stated.

Actually, I would say "Appro" is short for "Approvisionnements" here.

supply and goods

Explanation:
"Appros" is short for "Approvisionnement", so I would go with "supply"

"Marchandises", in a business/financial point of view, can be translated as "goods"

oh, I made a mistake, it would be supplies, since "appros" is in the plural
