One of the participant's answers is:

yes but I don't think it's necessarily used in English in the original, cf my explanation.

Supplies - Forecast and Current
Appro = approvisionnement - supply
for the P &A I'm guessing it's 'prévisionnels et actuels' or some such - hence my level of confidence
so the whole thing would be: Stock/Supply Management - Forecast and Current

: "Supplies" is definitely right; forecast and current I'm not so sure about.

: Agree with "approvsionnement" for "appro" in view of "gestion des stocks" which precedes. Not enough context for P and A, although as Gallgy2 says, your suggestion makes sense. Check with client for P and A?

as concerns Personnel and Administration
"Appros" must be a typo and is likely à propos, or apropos; "as concerns". The entire sentence is ungrammatical, so it is hard to tell if apropos applies to stock or P&A. In any case it doesn't really add anything.
P&A is definitely personnel and administration as indicated by the overwhelming references to it in connection with French retail.
I would interpret this as:
Retail training: stock management, personnel and administration, inventory control, and store keeping.

On second thought, "appros" could be slang for approvisionnement, and then used in plural form. However I still do not see a way of including that either without it being more redundant in English than it already is in French.

Nikki Scott-Despaigne
: In context, approvisionnement would make perfect sense where stock, inventaire, magasinier etc are mentionned. However, "personnel and administration" seems to be unsuited to the context; asker cld check with client on that.//Yes but in relation to stock?

I agree on appros, see my note above. As for P&A, I did a search of French websites and *all* of them with "P&A" described it as personnel and adminsitration, usually in retail, job announcements for managers, etc.

Catharine Cellier-Smart
: "Appros" most certainly IS short for approvisionnement, and as Nikki says I can't see how Personnel & Administration would fit in here with the context of stock management.
