German term

erstellt: fa/BuP

German to English Bus/Financial General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Quality Management Manual
Hi all,

I´m translating a QMM and have come cross the terms: "erstellt: fa/BuP". I can´t seem to work out what "fa/BuP" is referring it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Helene

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Thomas Pfann

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

BuP Budget und Planung or
Budget und Projekte

(you can google it)

I agree that it's certainly the department. Not sure you should leave it in German.

And, oh look, here's a KudoZ question talking about "a listing of revisions":

Yes, this convention is also used in English. BuP looks more like a department than a person. I would just say "Written by: fa/BuP"" .
BrigitteHilgner Feb 7, 2018:
Vermutlich ... a) fa ist das Kürzel der Person, die den Text erstellt hat, BuP ein Kürzel für die Abteilung der Person
oder
b) ist das Kürzel der Person, die den Text abgetippt/in die Datenbank eingegeben, und BuP das Kürzel für die Person, die den Text erstellt hat
