Common Mistakes

  • Das steht auf deine Versandbeleg.

    The preposition 'auf' requires dative, so the possessive must be in dative form 'deinem'.

  • Das ist auf deinem Versandbeleg.

    While 'ist' is understandable, 'steht' specifically conveys that the information is written on the document.

  • Das steht auf dem Versandbeleg.

    The noun is masculine; the article must match gender and case.

Alternatives

  • Das ist auf deinem Versandbeleg vermerkt.

    That is noted on your shipping receipt.

  • Auf deinem Versandbeleg steht das.

    That is stated on your shipping receipt.

  • Dort steht es auf deinem Versandbeleg.

Cultural Tip

In German business communication, 'steht' is the preferred verb for indicating that something is written on a document, giving a concise and formal tone. 'Versandbeleg' is the standard term in logistics, though you may also hear 'Versandbestätigung' or 'Lieferschein' depending on the company. Remember that the preposition 'auf' takes the dative case here, not the accusative.
