Pro Tip
Distinguish from similar terms
Do not confuse 'Eingangsdatum' with 'Datum des Eingangs' (date of entry) or 'Eingangstermin' (appointment for delivery). 'Eingangsdatum' specifically refers to the date something is received.

Word Origin
Compound of 'Eingang' (entry, reception) and 'Datum' (date), first attested in the 19th century in administrative contexts.
Usage Notes
Used in both written and spoken German, particularly in formal or professional settings. The term emphasizes the act of receiving something rather than its creation or sending.
