German term or phrase: Umsatz
Yes, it´s been here a few times, alone and in compound. Sales/revenue/turnover, it depends.

But what is it here, please?

"Im Geschäftsjahr 2001 wurde in den sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen eine Einzelwertberichtigung gegen einen Großkunden in Höhe von TDM 1.234 erfasst. Weitere in der Abwicklung mit diesem Großkunden befindliche Umsätze wurden nicht als Umsatzerlöse und Forderungen aus Lieferungen und Leistungen realisiert."

is the standard IAS term used for "Umsatz" and "Umsatzerlöse". Source:

Please DON'T use turnover when translating financial statements - it is not standard terminology used by accountants.

Explanation:
In this context, I would go with "sales" for "Umsatz" and "revenue from sales" for "Umsatzerloese".

Seems to make sense in the context...

Explanation:
>>Additional sales being processed for this large/corporate customer did not result in sales revenues or accounts receivable for delivered products and services [during that fiscal year]<<.

'Too tentative and NOT submitted'
[note in my personal glossary: I'm not an accountant. :-) ]

I'm only submitting it now because it might be ever so slightly useful to you in the context of the prior answer(s) by more specifically qualified translators.

All the best, Tom

conversions


Explanation:
sales profits for Umsatzerlöse

In the financial year 2001 in the other operational expenditures an individual value correction was entered against a big customer at a value of TDM 1,234. Further conversions in handling with this big customer were not implemented as sales profits and demands from
supplies and performances.
