   I tried to look up the meaning of the word Buchungszustand and google gave me a german-to-english dictionary website... in german.

   huh.

     (it seems to be a compound: Booking/ticketing condition)

     @scy not really. it's on a form, by itself. I assume it's something like "this was the state of the item when we wrote up this ticket", so that if it gets damaged in transit, you can tell what was the original damage vs. what you need to yell at your mail service about

     @foone German here. Do you have some more context? It's a compound word, yeah. "booking status" or "reservation state", but I'm not sure what that's supposed to _be_.

     @scy Thanks! I think I'm fine with what I've got now.

     @foone So we're talking logistics, not accommodation. 👍

     "Buchung" can be
     • a bookkeeping entry or financial transaction,
     • a booking, as in reservation of a room or other resource,
     • the act of ordering something

     "Zustand" means state, condition, situation.

     It's most definitely a rather domain-specific term. Googling shows me meanings like "has this been entered in the shipment tracking system", "has sth. been transferred to/from a warehouse storage", etc.

     hth, lmk if I can help you further
