Bus/Financial - Accounting
Dutch term or phrase: PM
In a budget in Dutch, when an item is paid for by a commissioning organisation, for example, instead of putting a figure you put PM. I've used it myself, but I realise I don't actually know what it stands for let alone what you use in English. Can anyone help?
