Mit Rücksicht auf systembedingten in kurzen Zeitabläufen von vier Wochen neu erscheinenden Monatskollektionen ist es unbedingt notwendig, dass die Ware entsprechend dem **Abschriftenkonzept** (Anlage 2) verkauft ist.

I have no idea what they mean by that.This is part of a shop-in-shop agreement of a company selling ladies' outerwear.The same question was asked and answered under German>Italian, but I don't speak Italian.

Explanation:
mark-down(s) might be just AmE, so possibly: discount

might be an "agreement" or "plan" rather than a "policy"

There are a fair number of hits for Abschriften +DOB; one attached.

Ask your customer....


Explanation:
I only got two google hits for your term - one was the De-It Kudoz question, the other was a Street one document which offered no context at all. I would say that this is a term used only by Street One, so you should ask your customer what they mean by it.

Sorry I can't be of more help :-(

Explanation:
Possibly 'Abschrift' is the formal title of the annex, rather than a characterisation of the concept. If you can't get any help from the client, it's probably better to simply use 'the concept defined in Annex 2' than to guess.

maybe the client has invented a new word for \'Abschreibung\'...
