English term or phrase: 3 way match queue
"To begin the demo, double click on an invoice and it will be sent to the AP - 3 Way Match queue. The 3 Way Match will match the invoice to a PO and Packing Slip."

This text taken from the instructions for an IT software for business purposes (invoicing etc.). I can't find any useful information about the "3 Way Match queue".

Is anybody familiar with this term/ topic? Thank you!

Explanation:
Obviously, in this queue three documents are associated with each other: invoice, PO and packing slip

As this is a definition in the text, I think it would be sufficient to call it "Abgleich-Warteschlange" or "Zuordnungs-Warteschlange" - what exactly "Abgleich" or "Zuordnung" means is defined in your text passage, so "3 way" could as well be omitted

If you still want to keep it, another option is to translate as "Dreifach-Abgleich (OR Zuordnungs)-Warteschlage", but IMO this looks quite clumsy

Hallo Marcus! Vielen Dank für deine guten Vorschläge. Ich habe mich letztendlich für "Zuordnungs-Warteschlange" entschieden. Konstruktionen unter Einbeziehung des Dreifach- Abgleiches wären wirklich zu "clumsy" und, aufgrund des erklärenden Kontextes, nicht notwendig. Danke, dass du mir auf die Sprünge geholfen hast!

agree  bertoldwoess: true, keeping the "three way" results in a rather clumsy expression.

"3 way match" Warteschlange


Explanation:
I have seen the expression "3 way match" or "3 way matched" being used in several languages without translation, so one possibility might be to keep the original expression.
