Zwangsläufigkeit

English translation: required/compulsory entries

Bus/Financial / logistics, software
German term or phrase: Zwangsläufigkeit
I asked this question earlier but didn't provide enough context.

SAP-Workflow:
Durch die Einführung des SAP-Workflows wird durch die *Zwangsläufigkeit der Eingabe* in das System die Datenqualität verbessert, wobei sich durch die Einführung keine Änderung im Ablauf und der Zuständigkeiten im Verantwortungsbereich ergeben. Die dadurch geschaffene Rationalisierung kommt auf Dauer den Märkten wieder zu gute.

Derzeit haben weder die Märkte, noch die Verwaltung eine Möglichkeit diese WKZ-Töpfe systemseitig abzufragen, bzw. den Grad der Ausnutzung einzusehen.
Künftig muss hierfür eine elektronische Information geschaffen werden, in der zum einen die zentralen Vereinbarungen sichtbar sind und zum anderen eine *Zwangsläufigkeit zur Bearbeitung* für die Märkten enthalten ist.

Transfers

Im Kalenderjahr 2002 sind in Deutschland 270 Mio. Euro Umsätze mit verbundenen Unternehmen abgewickelt worden. Hier ist ein neuer technisch gestützter Ablauf mit *Zwangsläufigkeiten* zu schaffen.
Ein wichtiger Punkt ist hierbei auch die Bewertung der transferierten Ware aus Konzernsicht.

Die Basisdaten (Bemessungsgrundlagen) werden aus dem WWS (bzw. über das DWH) und nicht aus dem SAP-System gezogen. Das WWS-System wird künftig die alleinige Datenquelle für Basisdaten zur Abrechnung bzw. Abgrenzung von Konditionen sein. Durch die *Zwangsläufigkeiten* des integrierten Workflow (UE, TT und Service) dürfen sich beim Vergleich der Systeme keine Differenzen ergeben.

English translation:required/compulsory entries
Explanation:
...improve data quality

I'd use this for the first occurrence, "required fields/entries" are standard in database management.

The other occurrences are a bit trickier; the second is rather mediocre German and the third and fourth is a quite general use of the term.

How about

a) "compulsory/mandatory processing" as offered by Rowan and Parrot in the previos question

b) "procedure with compulsory/mandatory steps"

c) "compulsory/mandatory elements of the workflow"?

compulsory nature


Explanation:
is my take; that is, if you don't make the entry, the computer refuses to go to the next step.

I like italengger\'s \"mandatory\" nature suggestion too; it seems altogether at home with its IT-surroundings!

agree  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): or mandatory; actually, German original is not easy to understand and translate.

rephrase


Explanation:
What a horrible word (and text, come to think of it) - I would rephrase comprehensively unless you can find an ‘official’ translation.

Some ideas:

1. The introduction/implementation of SAP Workflow makes data input an unavoidable/necessary/integral operation which leads to/results in data quality improvements….

2. …. Making processing a necessary/compulsory task/operation …

3. … a new technical procedure containing compulsory action steps …

4. … the necessary/inevitable sequence of events determined by the integrated Workflow system…

hope it helps, Kim ;-)

inevitability, unavoidability


Explanation:
laut 3. Collins German Dictionary, ISBN 0-00-470406-1 Good luck, Kim Metzger! Wait a moment, check other dicos.

inevitability confirmed by Langenscheidts Taschenwörterbuch Englisch ISBN 3-468-11131-2
Russian-German dicos give additional meaning of \"compulsory bzw. compulsion/(constraint, coercion, duress)\"

\"inevitably/ unavoidable to be processed\" in the 1st case (*Zwangsläufigkeit zur Bearbeitung*) of course, some rephrasing is necessary (inevitable, unavoidable). Which one - I can\'t tell for sure at such a late hour in Moscow.
