German term or phrase: Erlangung
A job description for an engineering manager (in an SAS production framework):

Subheadings:

"(1) Teamaufgaben, (2)Produktenengineering/Änderungsmanagement

...(u.a.)..Erlangung von Alerts, Concerns durch den Kunden.."

Is there a better translation for "Erlangen" than "achievement, obtaining, attainment"? If not what does the sentence mean?

TIA

acquisition


Explanation:
would be my pick (signal acquisition is a standard phrase)

'procurement' may be an alternative, but is a bit more selective (i.e. not just any alert)
