Tech/Engineering - SAP / inventory management
French term or phrase: mise à disposition (MAD)
je n'ai pas beaucoup de contexte malheureusement ; c'est la description des fonctionnalités du système informatique SAP pour la gestion des stocks.
Parmi les "Fichiers excel clés" il y a des "fichiers de stock dormant, fichiers de sur stocks et des TCD pour les MAD (mise à disposition - prêt de batteries).
Quant au TCD, je crois que c'est le tableau croisé dynamique qui est typique pour Excel, mais les MAD, c'est déjà quelque chose de très spécifique pour le SAP, à mon avis.

Vous avez une idée comment pourrait-on appeler cela en anglais pour que ça marche dans ce contexte ?

material staging
Explanation:
This looks like a possibility. Within "Warehouse Management" help:

Material Staging

Use

If you are using Warehouse Management, you can use this function to transport materials to production bin locations, that are grouped into supply areas.

Mise à disposition d'articles

Utilisation

Si vous utilisez la Gestion des emplacements de magasin, vous pouvez recourir à cette fonction pour transférer les articles aux emplacements de fabrication, rassemblés dans des aires de stockage.

Cette fonction offre de nombreux avantages dont celui de permettre aux salariés de l'atelier de fabrication de demander l'article requis dans le processus de fabrication. Le système génère une demande de transfert dans le système de gestion des emplacements de magasin. La demande de transfert déclenche ensuite la création d'un ordre de transfert.

From the documentation, it looks like "staging" is used in the warehouse management system to keep track of item moments in general. So "lending" would be a specific form of "item movement" and thus a form of "staging." But perhaps someone else will have a better explanation?

thank you very much; I added an explanation in the glossary as not every "mise a disposition" can be translated in this way

Asker: It looks like in the banking context it certainly is a "drawing"; however, I'm afraid my context has nothing to do with the finance or loans, as it say sth about lending batteries ("mise à disposition - prêt de batteries"); anyway, thank you for the very useful links!

Notes to answerer
Asker: yes, "material staging" certainly is "mise a disposition" in the context of transporting materials to manufacturing facilities. But will it work also in the context of lending equipments to clients? Because my text clearly refers to lending: "mise à disposition - prêt de batteries"; and further it says, "tous les stocks prêtés à un client sont transférés dans des emplacements informatiques spécifiques..." will "staging" work in such a context?

Asker: ok, thanks, I'll go for that; I was asking you as a native speaker if this could work in this context; if it does, then I won't lose any more time on it; it's the fourth hour I'm sweating over one page of a SAP manual! Thank you for the effort :)


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Didier Fourcot: This is the proper term from the glossary, although I suspect that the term of the question is implementation-specific, and thus could have no formal equivalent in English, at least this will be a term that is described somewhere
