Any suggestions? TIA.

carrying amount

Explanation:
carrying amount/face (or nominal) value

But it ALL depends on your context - if it's accounting then it also depends on the accounting standard being used.

5 mins confidence:

recognised [stated] value

Explanation:
... which would have to be understood in the sense of "(bilanziell?) angesetzter (OR ausgewiesener) Wert". However, this is still somewhat speculative as you haven't provided enough detail.

Questions:
Does this relate to items of a balance sheet, a P&L account...?
Which accounting standards are involved here?

Outside a strict BS/P&L context, this could very well be a value used as a basis for some sort of calculation - so more context would come in handy.
