Bus/Financial
French term or phrase: date de départ usine
"Le Concessionnaire confirmera la réception de chaque commande et indiquera la date de départ usine des Produits et la date de livraison prévue sur le site."
Can I say "ex-works departure date"?

English translation:factory shipping date
Explanation:
This might get around the problem. We talk about FCS (first customer ship) in the computing business, for when a product is first shipped to customers. Logically, then you should be able to talk about factory shipping.
