Law/Patents - Accounting / Not sure if this is accounting or IT...
French term or phrase: édition
This is from a Customs bulletin and is describing how the accounts for alcoholic products held in a bonded warehouse can be kept on a computer.

"Le système informatique doit comporter des fonctions d'interrogation en temps réel afin de permettre aux agents des douanes et droits indirects et aux agents de la direction générale de la concurrence, de la consommation et de la répression des fraudes de visualiser et/ou d'éditer à tout moment les informations nécessaires à la vérification de la cohérence entre :
- les fichiers informatiques se rapportant au traitement mis en oeuvre pour l'application des dispositions du présent article ;
- l'édition de la comptabilité matières.
Si les transmissions ou réceptions d'informations sont codées, le système doit permettre de restituer les informations en clair."

The Customs agents have to be able to check for consistency between the 'fichiers informatiques' and the 'édition de la comptabilité'. Because 'édition' can have various meanings, I'm unsure how to translate it in this context. Any suggestions?
