Uttagsdokument

Uttagsdokument is a term used in Swedish and Norwegian administrative language to describe an official document that records or authorizes the withdrawal or extraction of goods, funds, or other assets from a held inventory, account, or repository. The precise meaning varies by context and jurisdiction, but the document generally serves as evidence of authorization and as a basis for accounting, auditing, and traceability.

Etymology-wise, the word comes from uttag (withdrawal, extraction) and dokument (document), signaling a formal instruction or record that a withdrawal has occurred or may be carried out.

Applications and content vary by sector. In banking or financial services, an uttagsdokument may function as an instruction to release funds or cash. In logistics or inventory management, it records the removal of items from stock. In procurement or asset management, it can authorize disposal or transfer of assets. In research or healthcare, it may document the withdrawal of samples or materials. Typical elements include the date, a description of the withdrawal (item or amount), quantity or monetary value, parties involved, authorization signatures, reference or account numbers, and the method of withdrawal.

Variants and status: in many systems the uttagsdokument forms part of an audit trail and must comply with internal policies or legal requirements. With digitization, electronic equivalents such as electronic withdrawal notes or release authorizations are increasingly used, often integrated with enterprise or banking platforms.
