Finnish term or phrase: kohdepono / lähtöpono
Hi all,
First I thought that it could be a typo as I couldn't find a single hit on google. But the expression occurs many times throughout the text, and the only thing I can think of is "destination" and "place of origin"
Here are some examples on how they occur in the text:

"Vaurioitunut ****sta johtuen ja palautetaan, syykoodi on 79 ja järjestelmä kysyy kohdeponon (Eli käytetään lähettäjän kohdeponoa.)"

"Lähetyksen tiedot on tarkistettavissa lähetysten seurannasta; Lähtöpono kuljetuksen käytettävissä."

Many thanks! :-)

kohdepono - kohdepostinumero
lähtöpono - lähtöpostinumero
