German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: Dekommissionierung (SAP/logistics)
I know that "Kommissionierung" means "picking," but I can't come up with a nice term for "Dekommissionierung," which I assume means something along the lines of "clearing the pick."

Explanation:
I'd be careful with 're-stocking', since this is commonly used to mean replenishing stock. 'Return to stock' is less ambiguous, but I don'tt know if this is the proper jargon.

I appreciate all of the responses. "Return to stock" seems to be the least ambiguous. Thanks, Ken.

re-stocking


Explanation:
This is merely a suggestion; I didn't find anything in SAP's knowledge warehouse to back this up. (But then again, neither did I find anything on dekommissionieren/Dekommissionierung in their knowledge warehouse).

From my own experience with SAP texts, I know that kommissionieren refers to picking materials for a manufacturing process (for instance). Thus dekommissionieren, i.e. putting the materials back into the warehouse, could be translated as re-stocking. Hope this helps a bit...

decommissioning


Explanation:
means placing something out of service; retiring a facility; abandonment -- seems to apply to software, hardware and firmware:

Renovation" includes making and documenting software and hardware changes, developing replacement systems, and decommissioning systems to be retired. The Contractor must complete renovation of affected software, hardware and firmware

Dekommissionierung is used a lot in the field of nuclear sciences (reactors)

the eventual decommissioning, dismantling and recycling of material and equipment

Explanation:
Although I admit that I don't know the SAP jargon, it certainly will not be 'decommissioning', which means 'putting out of service'. A google search yields (among a lot of other things) a SAP Online Help site (first ref), and from this one could conclude that Kommissionieren is (at least related to) 'goods issue' and that the opposite of this is 'return delivery (see second ref). 'Picking' is probably somewhat informal, and who knows what the informal term for the opposite of this is. Good luck!
