Avisiert

Avisiert is the past participle of the German verb avisieren and is used in business and administrative language to describe informing someone in advance or providing a notice. The act itself is often referred to as Avisierung, with Avis or Avisierung denoting the pre-notification about an upcoming event, delivery, or communication. Avisiert can describe a shipment, order, or recipient that has already received such notice.

Etymology and usage context: The term comes from the Germanized form of the French verb aviser, meaning to advise or inform. In practice, avisiert signals that a notice has been issued and that the recipient can expect further action or delivery on a stated schedule. This makes it common in logistics, procurement, banking, and administrative workflows.

In logistics and commerce, saying that a delivery is avisiert means the carrier or supplier has sent an advance notification to the customer with details such as the estimated arrival time, shipment or reference numbers, and handling instructions. In banking or accounting, avisiert can refer to a pre-notification of a payment or related financial event. In administrative contexts, a document or mail may be described as avisiert once the intended recipient has been officially informed.

Examples: Der Spediteur hat die Lieferung avisiert und eine Avisierung an den Empfänger gesendet. Der Auftrag ist avisiert; der Kunde wurde über den Versandtermin informiert.
