German term or phrase: Gliederungszahlen v. Verhältniszahlen
Arten von Kennzahlen

Absolute Zahlen: z.B.: durchschnittlicher Lagerbestand in Tagen
Gliederungszahlen: z.B.: Eigenkapital in % v. Gesamtkapital = Eigenkapitalanteil
Verhältniszahlen: z.B.: Gewinn zu Umsatz in % = Umsatzrentabilität
Indexzahlen: z.B.: Umsatzveränderung im Zeitablauf (Umsatz heuer zu Umsatz des Vorjahres absolut und in %)

Could someone please explain the difference between these two types of indicator?

Explanation:
Als voellige Niete hinsichtlich allem, das mit Rechnungslegung, Bilanzen und allgemein mit Zahlen zusammenhaengt, kann ich lediglich mit Terminilogie aus Hamblock/Wessels aufwarten:
Dort wird 'Gliederungszahl' mit 'itemization figure' und Verhältniszahl mit Äratio", "operating ratio" (=betriebliche Verhältniszahl) bezeichnet. Hoffentlich hilft das wenigstens etwas.

Oops, ich meinte Ratio anstatt Äratio.

classification figures (numbers) & relational figures (number)


Explanation:
Apart from being another looser with numbers, maths etc. I must say they both are simply relational figures/numbers. To distinguish maybe using "classification" for the first one is not such a bad attempt.
