I translated this as "gross external sales", however it has previously been translated as "gross consumer sales". Could these mean the same thing? Which would be correct?

gross external sales
I think you're spot on with "gross external sales". Schäfer lists "external sales" for "Außenumsatzerlöse". I would think they mean all sales outside the group (as opposed to intercompany sales), so I guess "consumer sales" would kind of work too. I prefer yours though!

Christine,
sorry for the wrong suggestion.
In line with Daniela's and Tony's recommendation, "Gross external sales" seems to be the best option as of now.

Thanks Tony, you are right. I was working in a trading company and used this time quite extensively - this time for a change used it in a wrong place
