Spanish term

articulo no surtido

Spanish to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping Warehouse Management System
I'm finding it difficult to find a translation that fits with all the different context in which this word appears.

productos en surtido
productos sin surtido
articulo no surtido
material surtido
material no surtido
productos de surtido
articulo tipo surtido
productos de no surtido
articulo tipo no surtido

I've seen on some websites for warehouse management systems, the word surtido seems to refer to a process (perhaps sorting). That would fit for "material surtido/no surtido". But then what would a "articulo tipo no surtido" be. In other websites surtido seems to mean supply. And yet in other cases it means a range of products or different variants.

I can't find anything that fits all of these different examples in the document that I'm translating.

I think this is software that is designed to work for several different companies.

@Peter Does the warehouse work for or belong to one company?

Proposed translations

2 hrs

item not in stock

all the sentences seem to agree with this meaning, that is an article or article type may or may not be in stock currently
Example sentence:

See where your product is in stock and compare prices of items at nearby stores like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, Sams club, and CVS Pharmacy.

article not in assortment

I am pretty sure that assortment is the word you require. Check the use of "assortment" in SAP

Assortments in SAP
Definition. An assortment module is a group of articles. Examples might include household cleaners or women's blouses. An assortment can have several assortment modules assigned to it.

Assortment Planning and Management


This component allows you to create merchandise assortments and assortment modules and assign articles to them. Articles can be automatically assigned directly to assortments as a result of checking rules during article maintenance or assortment maintenance functions. Alternatively, you can manually assign articles to assortment modules and then in turn assign the modules to assortments. In both cases, the system automatically generates listing conditions for each valid combination of article and assortment.

By assigning assortments to sites you control which assortments – and which articles – a store can purchase or sell. A site cannot purchase or sell an article that is not contained in one of its assortments.

Makes you dizzy, doesn't it?
Note from asker:
This looks promising. I actually did translate it this way for now because that's the literal translation, but it didn't really make any sense to me. I think some of these companies are using certain words in ways that only they understand.

5.1. Los stock o existenciasProductos, mercancías o materiales que se encuentran en el almacén.DIFERENCIAS ENTRE STOCK Y SURTIDO:STOCK: Cantidad total acumulada de todos los productos almacenados.SURTIDO: Conjunto de productos distintos que tiene la empresa.

Llamamos surtido a la variedad de artículos de una misma clase que una empresa ofrece a sus clientes (distintos modelos, distintas tallas, distintos colores).

Mientras que, cuando hablamos del stock, nos referimos a la cantidad de mercancías depositadas, o las existencias de un determinado producto, tanto en los almacenes como en la superficie de ventas.

El surtido es la piedra angular sobre la que gira toda la actividad comercial de la empresa, una buena gestión del mismo incide de manera positiva en la satisfacción de las máximas necesidades del cliente y en la rentabilidad global de la compañía.

Comencemos definiendo el concepto de surtido como el conjunto de artículos que trabaja la empresa susceptible de ser adquirido por los clientes. No es fácil encontrar la combinación ideal, y gestionarla de una manera adecuada, siempre tenemos productos que no se venden o productos que nos solicitan los clientes y no tenemos en nuestro surtido.

Llamamos stocks o existencias de una empresa al conjunto de materiales y artículos que se almacenan, tanto aquellos que son necesarios para el proceso productivo como los destinados a la venta.
Es importante no confundir el stock con el surtido.

• Llamamos surtido a la variedad de artículos de una misma clase que una empresa ofrece a sus clientes (distintos modelos, distintas tallas, distintos colores).

• El stock, en cambio, es la cantidad de mercancías depositadas, o las existencias de un determinado producto, tanto en los almacenes como en la superficie de ventas.

Perhaps 'offered/not offered' could work

How about 'included in range/not included in range' for 'en surtido/no surtido'?
Note from asker:
Thank you, I'll look at the links you posted. The problem is that the further I get away from a literal translation, the more I'm guessing if I don't really understand what it means and this is a very long technical manual where this term is repeated over and over.
productos en surtido productos sin surtido articulo no surtido material surtido material no surtido Actually, I think you may be right that "range" is the right word. Part of the problem is that the document is badly written and it is made up of a list of terms without context. Here's how it could make sense: productos de surtido products with a range articulo tipo surtido range-type products productos de no surtido products without a range articulo tipo no surtido non-range products I suppose it could mean that some articles/products have several variants
