Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Vehicle Leasing Agreement
German term or phrase: Abrechnung
There are quite a few meanings for this word, but I am not totally certain which is the right one here. It appears as a section heading in a vehicle leasing agreement. For greater context, I'll quote the first three sentences that follow:

"Der Mitarbeiter ist gehalten, die ihm für Treibstoff, Öl etc. entstandenen Aufwendungen soweit möglich über die zur Verfügung gestellte ASL Servicecard abzurechnen. Einzelbelege werden quartärlich abgerechnet. Notwendige Wartungsarbeiten sowie Reparaturen werden direkt mit ASL abgerechnet. "

As you can see, forms of this word occur regularly in these sentences!

I think it's probably "invoicing" or "making a statement", but would appreciate your thoughts.

pay, settle etc.
Explanation:
The employee must use the ASL Servicecard to pay to for fuel, oil etc. as far as possible. Single bills will be remunerated at the end of every quarter (it looks like he has to pay those himself). Servicing and repairs will be settled directly with ASL.
