Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / logistics | | German term or phrase: Vereinnahme | Not much sentence context I am afraid. This words appears several times in PPT slides with diagrams of logistics processes.
For example:
Vereinnahme mit Handscanner
or
Trays für Vereinnahmung
or
Vereinnahmen der losen Pakete
I am at a bit of a loss here. I see "collect/receive/take" in Hamblock but I think there must be some "Fach" term out there.
Any help much appreciated. |

| | booking / logging | Explanation:
'Vereinnahmen' is a slightly odd term in this context.
What they mean is 'erfassen', i.e. the incoming goods are booked/logged into the system.
This can be done manually or with a scanner.
"With the COGLAS® Receivings Management System, planned incoming goods can be booked, i.e. with reference to an order or unplanned incoming goods."
(see ref, one of many)

There is a hidden pointer in the word itself:
Literally, \'vereinnahmen\' means to take in, to absorb, etc. |

| Grading comment Thanks to everyone - I had a terrible time with this term. I am still entirely unsure of what is "the" correct answer in my context but decided to go with John's "booking/logging".
Thanks again.
TGIA!

49 mins confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1
1 hr confidence: collection; receipt
Explanation:
I think something like "collection" or "receipt" would actually work here, especially for your second example, which you could probably translate as "in-trays" (trays designed to collect or receive things are basically in-trays).
I also think "collection of loose packages" would be fine for the third example.
The first example is a little more problematic, as it doesn't seem entirely logical to collect or receive things with a scanner. Unless perhaps the scanner is collecting data, in which case maybe you could simply say "scanning", period!
I don't know how much assistance this has been, but I hope I've helped you a little bit on the road to figuring out what "vereinnahmen" is doing in your text.

4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 Record
Explanation:
There are actually three different words here (although two have the same meaning); the first, "Vereinnahme", I think is "recording" as one would, with a scanner; the second, Vereinnahmung, looks like "records" (i.e. hard copies which have been made), and the third, "Vereinnahmen" is either "vereinnahmen" used as a noun, or (more likely, I think) the plural form of (1).
HTH, and good luck, Rebecca.

by the software, I should have said, in the last note.
Vereinnahmen seems a more involved than merely registering, logging, and the like.
