Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
German term or phrase: Baukassenspeisung
I have very little context but I think the table I have is a Siemens-related one.

The title of the table I am translating is 'Sonderprüfung Barkassen'
'Barkassenspeisung' appears in the column headed 'Verwendungszweck'

Petty cash supply
Explanation:
There are several hits for "imprest fund" = "Baukasse", but an imprest fund is defined as:
"1. A sum of money to be used as petty cash."
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/imprest fund

...so I would add the word "supply" or another word for "-speisung" (Allotment?) and take the register down a notch so that most readers will understand it, since "imprest fund" sounds a little arcane to my ears.
