terminalsnummer
Terminalsnummer is a German term used to designate a unique identifier assigned to a terminal, facility, or connection point within a logistics, transportation, or computer network. In practice, the term is most common in freight, port, and intermodal contexts, where it helps distinguish between multiple terminals within a location such as a port complex, a rail yard, or an inland terminal. The identifier supports routing, planning, inventory control, and documentation, including shipping instructions, freight orders, and electronic data interchange (EDI).
Format and assignment of a terminsnummer vary by operator and system. It is typically numeric or alphanumeric
In computing contexts, the term can also refer to the identifier of a terminal device or session
