Spanish term

VENTA POR CUENTA AJENA

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Internet, e-Commerce EDI, CFE, new regulations
URUGUAY. This appears to be a concept specific to Uruguay. I'm wondering if there is a specific set expression already established for this in English. I assume it means "sales on behalf of others" but it seems a bit of a mouthful...

"Las operaciones de venta por cuenta ajena y a nombre propio, serán documentadas en comprobantes específicos.
Los nuevos tipos de comprobantes se identificarán adicionando a la denominación habitual de cada uno, la mención “VENTA POR CUENTA AJENA”.
Identificación del titular
En la documentación emitida, se deberá dejar expresa constancia por cuenta de quien se realiza la operación, debiéndose incluir la denominación; número de RUC, CI, NIE, o en su defecto, número de documento, tipo y país emisor.
En documentación por medio de comprobantes fiscales electrónicos (CFE), la identificación deberá constar en la zona K."
Proposed translations (English)
1 +5 third-party sale
4 +2 operations on behalf of third parties
3 sales [transactions] made by others

Then... Then "third-party sale" would be the better option:

@Helena When I posted "it seems a bit of a mouthful", I meant that it seems rather long compared to the more succinct Spanish version. "Brevity is the soul of wit" ...
Adolfo Fulco Aug 22, 2015:
I think... we pressed "enter" at the same time.
Helena Chavarria Aug 22, 2015:
How about something along the lines of 'sales on behalf of/for third parties'? Or 'third-party sales'?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks everyone for helping out. I'm using both "3rd party" and "on behalf of others"at different points. This text is a nightmare and the people who sent me it are on holiday so I can't check any terms with them until Septemberm when no doubt they'll resurface in an almighty rush..."

sales [transactions] made by others

Not entirely sure if this suits, but definitely an alternative to consider.

Great, Neil! Si usas ambas formas me parece mejor todavía. Una escueta para el encabeza y una un poquito más amplia para la oración. No sabía que era un encabezado, pensé que era parte de la oración lo que necesitabas. Saludos!
Note from asker:
"...it seems a bit of a mouthful" = me parece muy largo. Busco algo tan breve como el texto original.
No creo que la forma más escueta resulte ambiguo en el encabezado. Al final emplearé ambas versiones... :-)

Thanks, Michael. I think so, too. Cheers!
neutral philgoddard : Not "operations". Wendy was the first to enter the correct answer.

I would say "sales operations", phil. Yeah, but I was writing and looking for references, so I didn't see that she already answered :).
