Dutch term or phrase: matdatum
Not much context. The sentence goes as follows: In het system kun je alles opnemen wat door de klant wordt gezien en daarnaast wat voor intern belangrijk is. Hiermee bedoelen we niet hele planningen maar wel de matdatum van een DM.

in-home date


Explanation:
In-Home Dates - the date a mailing is delivered to households.

"Matdatum" refers specifically to the date when the delivered product hits the doormat. In direct marketing, this is the closest English equivalent I can think of!
