Bus/Financial - SAP / Order processing

German term or phrase: Erfassungsgruppe

From a document describing the order processing procedures for a large distribution company:
----
Die Aufträge werden an eine zentrale Stelle ins Auftragszentrum weitergeleitet und von dort auf die verschiedenen **Auftragserfassungsgruppen** verteilt.

Das Auftragszentrum ist in *** Erfassungsgruppen *** unterteilt sowie Logistiksysteme:
• Einzelbestellungen
Im Auftragszentrum findet eine Vertriebsgebiets orientierte Erfassung statt.
• Auslandsaufträge
Hier findet eine länderorientierte Erfassung statt.
----
I think what's confusing me is that this appears to be referring to a group of staff members, rather than a part of the software system. Any good ideas for an English way of saying this?

TIA, Stephen

order entry group

Explanation:
More specifc than "data entry":
Auftragserfassung = order entry

http://www.phoneplusmag.com/articles/061botto.html
"The order-entry group reported a metric of 100 percent quality assurance review with all errors corrected. "

http://www.ltdmgmt.com/mag/art2.htm
"Then the order must get to the order entry group. They must enter it. Perhaps Accounts Receivable may review the order. Time is ticking away."
