Finnish, Swedish, Danish explanations also welcome!

Introduction to computerized project management
Norway. Company producing hq toys & furniture (schools, daycare ctrs mainly)
Finnish colleagues

"Projektorder - Kriterier för ett project:
- På plats datum
- Order summa över loadsamoney
- Samlad leverans
- VIP kunde
- Leasing etc etc"

I had an inkling it could have something to do with being timely? As in "we deliver when we promise to deliver!"

I would love to learn what this is - it's been bugging me these past straight 30 hours I've been translating :D

(Estimated) Delivery Date
Explanation:
I suppose you could borrow an accounting/tax term and use "placed in service date".

A safer bet seems to ask what term is used by major players in the industry.

IKEA Delivery Terms & Conditions uses "Estimated Delivery Date".

I'd go with that.

Explanation:
Welgome to KudoZ, Tanja-Kristiina!

First of all, this is Swedish, not Norwegian. Anyhow, the literal translation is more or less 'date on site' or 'date in position', so it takes some guesswork to interpret it in this context. My guess is that they mean date of delivery/finishing.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks! I've been a Proz member since 2001 actually, I just forgot to keep paying a few years ago ;) I hadn't realised it was Swedish - this document is SO weird it goes from Norwegian to Swedish to Gibberish and back constantly :D There are even random Norwegian words in Swedish sentences and vice versa :D I actually though it might be that, but still, it's hardly traightforward... Here's another snippet with the same except that it's "på plats dag": Om inte leveransdatum har angivits i orderhuvudet så ska du fylla i requested ship date, requested receipt date, confirmed ship date och confirmed receipt date till lika datum för alla fälten, antingen angiven på plats dag, eller fredagen den veckan som leveransen planeras till. Datumen kan väntas med att fyllas i tills ni har planerat leveransen, se stycke längre ner
