to carry as a provision

Explanation:
Please note that a Rücklage (your question) is very different to a Rückstellung (your context).

Provisions (RÜckstellungen) are always carried on the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet, so there is no need to say that in English (passivieren = to carry as a liability).

Thanks, Alison. Of course I meant Rückstellung and not Rücklage. I was too hasty typing it in.
