inkommande

Inkommande is a Swedish term used as an adjective and, in some contexts, as a noun, meaning incoming or inbound. It describes items, information, or traffic that arrives at an organization, system, or location rather than leaving it. The term is widely used across business, administration, communications, and IT to distinguish incoming from outgoing.

In business administration and accounting, inkommande is common in phrases such as inkommande faktura (an invoice received from a supplier) and inkommande post (incoming mail). In logistics, the term may describe incoming deliveries or inbound shipments, and in customer service, it can denote incoming inquiries or support requests. In communications and IT, inkommande refers to incoming data or communications, e.g., inkommande samtal (incoming calls), inkommande e-post or inkommande meddelanden (incoming emails or messages). In networking, inbound or inkommande trafik denotes traffic that enters a network or system.

The word is formed from in- plus kommande (from komma, to come). It is typically used as an attributive adjective in compound nouns; the corresponding opposite term is utgående, meaning outgoing.
