German term or phrase: Übernahmeorgan

Austrian "Einkaufsbedingungen". I'm assuming this means the "goods inwards department" but wonder if it could simply mean "the person accepting the goods on behalf of the Customer".

Any thoughts?

"Rechnungen sind dreifach mit Kopie 1.) der Liefermeldung bzw. 2.) des Lieferscheines, gegengezeichnet vom *Übernahmeorgan* des Auftraggebers einzureichen, 3.) sind Leistungsrechnungen außerdem mit Leistungsbestätigungen zu belegen."

If it\'s a service (or if you\'re not sure), use \"receiving party\". That covers all the bases.

Also helps you avoid the quandry of needing a \"goods inwards dept.\" if there aren\'t any goods...

Yep, good, Jeff - went for "receiving party" (I think) in the end - as there was a possibility it meant services, too.
