German term or phrase: als Merker
Wie bei jedem Cache Refresh sollte man die üblichen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen treffen.
Nachdem verschiedene professionelle Kunden mit Mehrfachcaching zu rechnen haben, sollten die einzelnen Belange im Einzelnen diskutiert werden.
Das XXXXXX- System arbeitet mit Echtdatendaten beim Buchen immer Realtime und es gelten somit die Daten zum Zeitpunkt der Verarbeitung d.h. Buchung alle Caching-Zwischenschritte sind für das System obsolet d.h. hinfällig.

***Als Merker*** kann man grob zusammenfassen. Im Frontend gilt der Zustand der Auftragsbestellung. Im Administrationsumfeld wird immer sofort in der Regel Positionsweise verbucht.

English translation:as a memory aid/ mnemonic
Explanation:
I think the word Merker is used rather casually here and is, strictly speaking, a misnomer in this context. The term should read Merkhilfe (memory aid) instead. (Merker usually refers to PLC programming where it is equivalent to flag/marker.)

agree  opolt: I think this is correct. -- Actually, for the sentence to make sense, the verb "zusammenfassen" should be followed by a colon (not a full stop) :-]
