German term or phrase: maschinelle Erstellung
In the following sentence:

Die maschinelle Erstellung der Umsatzsteuerjahres- und Gewerbesteuererklärung 2001 sowie der Erklärung für die Zerlegung des Gewerbesteuermessbetrags 2001 aufgrund der Fertigstellung der Verdichterstation Kirchlinteln/Holtum ist derzeit noch nicht möglich.

I really ought to know this, but can't get at it at the moment. Is it "computer-generated" or something similar?

Explanation:
It definitely is along the lines of "computer-generated". An alternative would be "automatic preparation/generation".
