tilauksien

Tilauksien is the genitive plural form of tilaus, the Finnish noun for an order in commerce. It is used to express a relationship to multiple orders, roughly translating to “of orders” in English. In contemporary Finnish, tilauksien is common in business and administrative language, especially when discussing orders collectively or referring to their status.

The base word tilaus refers to a request to supply goods or services, such as a customer placing a purchase or a supplier issuing a purchase order. The genitive plural tilauksien appears in phrases that attribute something to the orders or discuss them as a group, for example: tilauksien hallinta (order management), tilauksien käsittely (processing of orders), tilauksien määrä (the number of orders), tilauksien seuranta (order tracking).

In practice, tilauksien is widely used in ERP and CRM documentation, reports, and contractual language to denote “the orders’ …” or to specify characteristics related to multiple orders. The word tilaus itself is formed from the verb tilata, meaning “to order,” and the -us noun-forming suffix, a productive pattern in Finnish for creating concepts related to actions or things.
