English translation: transferred to stock

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:entré(e)(s) en stock

/ manufacturing process
French term or phrase: entrée en stock
This phrase comes in a text in note form eg conditionnement et étiquetage des produits finis; expedition des produits finis en stérilisation... controle qualité a reception des produits steriles; entree en stock des produits finis steriles.

I've tended to put short English sentences for these noun phrases. Would entree en stock just be "the finished sterile products are stocked"?

Does it mean that the finished products are sent off to be sterilised or that the sterilised finished products are sent off? As I write this, I suspect the former

expedition des produits finis en stérilisation

transferred to stock
Explanation:
entry is of course not right.
Transferred to stock implies that stock is the "final" destination of the verb

entrée en stock
the finished products are entered in the inventory


Explanation:
This is if you want a sentence. Otherwise, you could have "finished products entered in the inventory"I think the word "inventory" is more accurate than "stock" in English.

  -> I stick to my version: entree en stock is the actual listing in the inventory (which is the list of items in the book)

agree  Carolingua: if indeed the context is inventory vs. stock, I would say "the finished sterile products/goods are entered as inventory" or you could say "are inventoried" to use the word as a verb

the finished sterile products are stocked


Explanation:
I think your proposed answer sounds good to me, particularly since you want to keep the sentence structure consistent with other headings. I believe "inventory" is more of an accounting term, so I'd stick to "stock" in this context--when something is said to be in "stock" it means available for sale or use. It can also be used as a verb to mean to provide or furnish with a stock of something (as in to supply a store with merchandise. It then follows that the stock is placed in inventory (but the verb "stock" implies actually doing something while putting it on inventory is the accounting equivalent.) Hope that helps a little.

--------------------------------------------------

if it turns out from your context that they are indeed making reference to the inventory listing, then I would say \"the finished sterile products are inventoried\", keeping the same sentence construction (inventory can be used as a verb, meaning the process of adding to an inventory listing).

Consider covering all your bases by saying \"the finished sterile products/goods are stocked and inventoried\" (as these two actions normally go together)

sterile finished products received in stock


Explanation:
In this context, "reception" is generally expressed in English as "taken delivery of", i.e. immediately before checking.

There is also a formula: "entree/sortie de stock", which is expressed as "stock received/stock issued".

Extrapolating from these two cases, I would express the phrases as:
"...quality control when delivery taken of sterile products"; sterile finished products received in stock".

Re your last question, I believe you are right: the former.

The question of "stock" or "inventory" is, I believe, complicated by the fact that according to Harraps Business Dictionary, (and I believe common usage now, since American English is the lingua franca of the business world, including the UK), "inventory" is, in fact, used for ..."stock (of goods)/N Am: inventory".

Also, commonly "stock control = inventory control", even in the real, non-virtual world, and outside America.
"Stock" seems safer, though, at least in most cases relating to "real" goods, doesn't it?
