German term or phrase: Werkstatt für angepaßtes Arbeiten
Taken from a brochure describing an SAP installation and the functions that are covered.

• Personalabrechnung und Zeitmanagement für die „Werkstätten für angepaßtes Arbeiten (WfaA)

The incorrect quotation marks also appear in the original file, so I'm not sure if the term is quoted.

A bit of Googling has found the term elsewhere:

Is there an official term for these places?

Thanks!

Explanation:
Not sure if this is an official term. There was nothing along these lines in the SAP glossary (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_glossary/en/index.htm) but further research might turn something up!
