granting
The formal act of officially giving, granting, or approving something for someone. This often relates to permits, orders/contracts, powers of attorney, or information.

The granting of the building permit can take several months.
The noun 'Erteilung' (granting) is derived from the verb 'erteilen' (to grant/issue). The ending '-ung' turns the verb into a noun that describes the act or process of granting or issuing. It is used almost exclusively in formal or official contexts.
Wir warten auf die Erteilung der Lizenz durch die Behörde.
We are waiting for the authority to grant the license.
'Erteilung' (granting/issuing) is typically used with official documents or rights. Common combinations are die Erteilung einer Genehmigung (the granting of a permit), eines Auftrags (of an order/contract), einer Vollmacht (of a power of attorney), or einer Auskunft (of information).
Die Erteilung eines Visums ist an strenge Bedingungen geknüpft.
The granting of a visa is tied to strict conditions.
'Erteilung' (granting/issuing) is very often used with a genitive object to specify what is being granted or issued. This construction is common in written language and formal usage.

exhibition / issuing
'die Ausstellung' and 'die Erteilung' can both describe an official process. 'die Ausstellung' is used especially with documents: an office or authority creates a document and issues it, for example a passport or certificate. 'die Erteilung' fits better when someone officially receives something or has something approved, for example a permit, an assignment, or information. The words can easily be confused because both often occur in administrative or work contexts. Remember: documents are issued, while approvals or information are granted or given.
Heute hat die Erteilung der Genehmigung länger gedauert als geplant.
