I've seen this for graphics products when talking about 
"fillable shapes" vs shapes that you can't fill. I would 
try to get Marketing to use this term only when they 
need to contrast something that can be filled in with  
something that can't, and not just to use it randomly 
as an adjective. (For example, readers would probably 
assume that they can fill in a form that you're providing 
to them unless you tell them otherwise.)

I can tell you that RMF doesn't have "fillable" in it at all :->
