Bus/Financial - Accounting
German term or phrase: Abgrenzungsbuchung
This is still in the context of accounting software modules. The question is:

Existiert die Möglichkeit für folgende Buchungen:
Abgrenzungsbuchung mit automatischer Rückbuchung"

This is oneof many, but turns up elsewhere also:

"Sind Agio/Disagioabgrenzungen fü alle im System geführten Rechnungsabgrenzungsposten täglich möglich?"

Just so you can have more context..

Anyhelpappreciated - it's geting late!

accrual
Explanation:
accrual accouting matches income with expenses. Accruals are set up at period end and reversed at the beginning of the following period. In general the term accrual refers to both accrued and prepaid expenses.

The above translations become:

"Accruals with automatic reversal"

"Is it possible to accrue discounts and premiums on a daily basis?"

deferred item entry?

Explanation:
I'm not an accounting specialist and there are several translations of Abgrenzungsposten including accrued and prepaid items. Rückbuchung is reverse entry.

amortization entry (booking, posting)

Explanation:
Abgrenzungskonto is translated by Zahn as "amortization account", so your term would be an entry in that account.
