German term or phrase: Abgreiftool
This is for a large text concerning the structure of an SAP-based system.


"In einer späteren Entwicklungsphase wurde das LOGFILE auch für die Protokollierung von in Mappen ausgegebenen Rechnungen und Verrechnungen ausgewählt, um im Abgreiftool die aus solchen Mappen entstandenen Belege identifizieren und durch nachträgliche Anlage von erledigten Pointern
als nicht mehr KBR3-relevant kennzeichnen zu können"

What on earth is an Abgreiftool? I've even thought of cheating and just saying tool, but that's not really an option :)

Thanks,

Joanne

Explanation:
Just a hunch. It makes sense in your context and abgreifen can mean to retrieve.

agree Aniello Scognamiglio: ist naheliegend. Abgreiftool gibt es de facto nicht, vermutlich wurde Abgreiftool früher mal falsch übersetzt/übernommen. Auftraggeber sollte darauf aufmerksam gemacht werden. Sollst halten sie das noch für richtig, weil sie sich daran gewöhnt haben ;-)
