German term or phrase: ordentliche betriebliche Erträge
This is from a Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung, quite normal except a few items such as this, which I have not seen before. It is for a GmbH based in Germany, and this item occurs under "Sonstige betriebliche Erträge". It has one sub-item "sonstige ordentliche Erträge) and it is followed by "sonstige Erträge im Rahmen der gewohnlichen Geschäftstätigkeit", which completes the "sonstige betreibliche Erträge".

Explanation:
...to structure it a bit more:

Main heading "sonstige betriebliche Erträge" = "other operating income"

- sub-item No. 1 to this is "sonstige ordentliche Erträge" = "other ordinary income"

- sub-item No. 2 is "sonstige Erträge im Rahmen der gewöhnlichen Geschäftstätigkeit" = "other income from ordinary business (activity)/within ordinary scope of business"

My remaining uncertainty is that IMO sub-items 1 and 2 partially overlap since they both relate to "ordentlich/gewöhnlich" (IMO "ordentlich" is in this case synonym of "gewöhnlich").

Could you possibly provide some more clarification on the grouping of sub-items (is No. 2 on equal level with No. 1?).

So let\'s give it a final shape based on your added info:

Main heading:
Other operating income

sub-item a)
ordinary operating income

sub-sub-item aa)
other ordinary income

sub-item b)
other income from ordinary (course of) business (activity/ies)


So far so good, but I still got the impression that aa) and b) might overlap at least partially but this seems to be very much down to intricate technicalities within the business/accounts scheme.

Hope this helps you one step further.
