Clarification request(s) and response
Steffen Walter: 11:05am Nov 7, 2007: We need more context. What is the background to this letter/message? What are the items that can be "abgerufen"?

authorized orderer
Explanation:
Would be my suggestion - I know abrufen isn't bestellen, but the need here is for a simple term and I can't think of any other way of putting it.

Low CL because context is minimal - I assume that this refers to orders for goods, not to access to electronic data.

  -> My point is that a simple term is needed in this context - it needs a 1 or 2 word job description, not a lengthy phrase
agree Ken Cox: given the limited context, something concise is certainly needed

the person authorised to call up ...."goods"

Explanation:
The Germans are veryat consolidating 2, 2 or 4 words of English into one German word. I don't believe that there is a 1 or 2 word expression in English which does it here.
