Thanks for the update. I've put that into the Glossary. We live and learn.
Note from asker:
Must admit Downstream User would NEVER have entered my head. I've been working for this company for several years and never seen DU before. I'll have to read a bit more to see if it fits in. I'll get back to you. Thanks, Chris.
The reports I'm translating at present bear no resemblance to what I have had in the past, so obliged to ask client for clarification. Only another 6 to go.
Something went wrong...
2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks for suggestion. Finally got answer from client: « Liste des lots avec prise de DU » = list of the released batches. DU = “Décision d’utilisation” that’s mean released in our system. "
