German term
bestimmt einen Transportdienstleister
German to English
Tech/Engineering
SAP
SATZ: ,,Der TDL-Auswahl-Optimierer bestimmt für jeden Auftrag einen selektierten Menge von Transportaufträgen einen Transportdienstleister, sodass alle Kapazitätsbeschränkungen aus relevanten Kontingenten sowie die definierten Geschäftsanteile eingehalten und die entstehenden Gesamtkosten minimiert werden."
Can anyone plase confirm if there is a mistake in the first part of this sentence, since it makes no sense to me. Perhaps "einen Transportdienstleister"should read "eines Transportdienstleisters"? Or maybe "einen Transportdienstleister" shouldn't be there at all?

Selected
einen is correct
Einen Transportdienstleister is correct.
Der TDL-Auswahl-Optimierer bestimmt einen Transportdienstleister
However it should read "einer selektierten Menge" and not einen.

: But the first "einen" is incorrect and should read "eineR selektierten Menge...". / Touché - that'll teach me how to read ;-)

how about
"determines (offers?) a number of selected transport providers for each order"?

The TDL Selection Optimiser...
"The TDL Selection Optimiser specifies a transport services provider for a selected quantity of transport jobs for an order..."
You could argue about the terminology used, but that would be the gist of it

possible rewording
My inititial suggestion would be 'von Transportaufträgen *an* einen Transportdienstleister'.
However, the intended meaning may be that the optimiser determines a selected set of of transport orders, each for a particular shipping company -- i.e. they could all be for the same shipping company or for different shipping companies. The conventions for using singular or plural when referring to entities or items of the same type, and the distinction between 'ein' in the sense of 'a' and the sense of 'a particular', can be quite tricky in German.

: I think the crux of the matter is the first "einen", which should in fact read "eineR selektierten Menge".

Thanks -- as a non-NGS I'm not always sure of the right case (and that apparently applies to some NGSs as well ;-) )
