French term or phrase: aménagement
I´ve found "housekeeping" for this but it is the correct term?

Le candidat devra en outre préciser si ces exigences sont prises en compte de façon native par la solution ou si elles relèvent d’un aménagement spécifique à mettre en œuvre (conditions et responsabilités) ou encore d’un paramétrage du produit.
