English translation:payment of commissionw
Explanation:
with no (hint) CONTEXT (hint hint), I would take this to refer to the payment of a commission to sales reps, or perhaps defining the commission to be paid in the event of a sale - depending on the C(oughcough)ONTEXT(cough).

Sorry, I really thought I was belaboring the obvious. The verbatim sentence always helps, where possible. Also, knowing what the purpose of the intended text is (sales report, logistics, etc.) can be helpful. The more you can tell us, the better able we will be to help you.

provisioning, or stockpiling


Explanation:
With no context, I would go with provisioning as the German is so close. See link #1

If it means putting product at your sales partners' warehouses, then maybe stockpiling, link #2

Asker: Sorry - I thought I had provided enough detail about the text type and context. Short of repeating the whole sentence there wasn't much more I could put.
