Bus/Financial - Accounting / Year-end Accounts | | French term or phrase: Avances et acomptes versés sur commandes | This is an entry in the "assets" section of the balance sheet, I have a feeling it refers to payments already received from clients in advance of their order.
Does anyone know of a standard translation for this sort of entry? Many thanks in advance. |

Advance Payments Source
avances et acomptes
OBS – Although "avance" and "acompte" each have individual translations; "avances et acomptes" could be translated as "advance payments" on a balance sheet.
I have a personal glossary that lists "Avances et acomptes versés sur commandes" as "advance payments on orders" |
