Bus/Financial - Accounting
German term or phrase: Stellenkosten
This term appears in a description of a company's management/financial/accounting structure. Also used by SAP, but SAP does not provide a translation in English, unlike for most of the terms I needed.
Unfortunately no further context. The term appears as follows: STELLENKOSTEN (Wareneingang).
