| | make call-off orders | Explanation:
This word (and the noun 'avrop') has been discussed numerous times on ProZ, see per example:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/450445
It is also a term I am very familiar with from my previous job in e-commerce, and 'call-off' is the exact English term - as some other answerers have suggested. You 'call off' orders after agreeing a framework contract. Thus for example a large retail chain will sign a contract with a food manufacturer to buy tins of baked beans in large quantities at an agreed price over a long period, and then send call-off orders for smaller amounts as and when required - possibly daily or even several times a day. Each is an order, not a sub-order. and avoids the need to negotiate each time an order is placed. Such long-term contracts often also agree payment terms, so that the retail chain pay without the need for individual invoices.
Avrop is of course a literal translation of the English 'call off', and therefore 'call-off' is needed in some form in the English translation. |

Explanation:
I would say simply 'place orders'.
(suborders sounds a bit odd in English, and one would wonder what in special meaning was intended with this uncommon phrase.)
Even if it was under a framework agreement, or especially if it was from an approved vendor, still is it simply an "order."
