German term or phrase: Reiter (here)
"Der Trainer erklärt die wichtigsten Felder des Reiters 'Beschreib' der
Lagerkarte."

This is from a set of trainer guidelines designed to train employees to use an SAP-type parts administration system used by a certain car manufacturer.

"Lagerkarte" is "stock control card", but I have no idea what "Reiter" means or what "Beschreib" is referring to.

Any suggestions or explanations gratefully received ...

index card / tab


Explanation:
In certain software programs (like Windows) they have index cards with tabs that you can click on to access the data (General/Security/View, etc.). Maybe it's a program to generate inventory routing cards

tab


Explanation:
Ian,
A "Reiter" can be a "tab" in software applications. Perhaps each Lagerkarte is made up of several tabs and maybe these tabs are of a fixed width so there was only room for Beschreib instead of Beschreibung ? Or it is an accepted abbreviation in the company/software. I would guess it is the tab that describes the part.
