From a machinery equipment and supplies wholesaler
Hi all -
I am translating document from a machinery equipment and supplies wholesaler in France.
I am not sure how to best translate "postes d'achat" given the context below.
Context:
Consultations:
Les consultations doivent débuter au plus tard 8 jours après la commande du client. Plus on a de temps pour négocier, plus grande sera notre marge de manœuvre et meilleurs seront nos prix.
Tous les postes d'achat doivent être finalisés au plus tard 3 semaines avant le début du chantier
======================
Thanks for any help you can offer!
