Debt on capital assets


Explanation:
Immobilisations :
Eléments destinés à servir de façon durable à l'activité de l'entreprise et dont elle est propriétaire. On distingue les immobilisations corporelles (par exemple : des machines, un immeuble de bureaux, un parc de véhicules), les immobilisations incorporelles (par exemple : un brevet, des logiciels) et les immobilisations financières (par exemple : les parts détenues dans une filiale, les prêts consentis à des tiers).

accounts payable to fixed assets suppliers


Explanation:
This is how that balance sheet term is generally translated into English (see Saxcé's accounting dictionary). It is not "debt" in the sense of borrowings but rather liabilities of the same order as trade payables (excpt this concerns capital goods). There may be other ways of saying this, but this is the most commonly used equivalent.

  -> Thanks!

disagree  lenkl: "immobilization" is not a financial accounting term; the reason it is found in the source you mention below is that it's a glossary, with the French equivalents of English terms

  -> So, you disagree with the equivalent of capital restraint as well, which I think I have given as well, as well as all the above websites?" http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/fin/sigs/FIS-SIF/is-fi/glossary_e.a...
