Portuguese term

Prazo Contractual

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial Inspection Reports
A form to be filled in:

(01) – Colocar o nº. do PC.

PC = Prazo Contractual.

It seems to be 'Contractual Period', but I'm not sure that you can enter the 'Number' of a contractual period. Can you? Is it something else?

TIA :)
Proposed translations (English)
5 Contractual Period
4 contract term

See also: -

(07) – Colocar o nome do Fornecedor/Subfornecedor constante do PC.

is that any more informative?

Thanks immensely for your help :)))
R. Alex Jenkins (asker) Aug 23, 2007:
...that's why I don't understand the 'number of the contract term' ! (Thanks Carla :)
R. Alex Jenkins (asker) Aug 23, 2007:
It's an Inspection report that needs to be filled in by the Inspector regarding industrial assembly; nothing to do with PC's or computers:

(01) – Colocar o nº. do PC
(02) – Colocar o nº. do RDI, solicitar ao Coordenador.
(03) – Colocar o número do Centro de Custo, solicitar este número ao Coordenador.
(04) – Colocar a data de emissão do RDI.

...etc...

Are you sure both "PC" refer to the same thing? Looks like the first one is PC = personal computer

Selected

Contractual Period

You enter the PC registration number (not a contractual period number), to be found on the PC hardware itself.

TERMS = CONDITIONS (NOT PERIOD)

EXAMPLE

I bought this car on very reasonable terms. (on very reasonable conditions).

Hence

Prazo = Period

Thanks for you answer(s). Every bit helps. However, I'm confused (still) by your answer because you seem to be trying to counter-act on the answer by Carla whilst trying to give information to me at the same time. Seriously, thanks for your time and effort , but I'm not sure about the validity of your answer. Sorry!

contract term

I believe Ralph and marlcurtis are correct that the first PC is personal computer, nevertheless the correct translation for prazo contractual is contract term.

PC is also an abbreviation for pacote. It could mean the contract package number. For large projects the contract is often split into different packages such as concrete work, metal structures, electrical installation, etc.
Note from asker:
My only doubt is that if it IS 'contract term' then the required entry would be a DATE and not a NUMBER. The form clearly requires a number. I don't know what it is...?
Thanks for your help. I was not 'really' happy with either answer but I had to give the points to someone - I hate closing questions and not awarding points. Sorry I couldn't award 2 points each. :(

disagree Marlene Curtis : Term signifca condition.
