German term or phrase: Umsatz
Hi,

auf einem Beleg fuer Transaktionen einer Aktiengesellschaft wird von 'Umsatz' gesprochen.

Art des Umsatzes is entweder 'Kauf' oder 'Verkauf'.

Kann man da einfach von 'Transactions' sprechen? Kennt jemand den Fachbegriff?

Ich danke fuer jede Hilfe!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your help! I checked the entry in the dictionary and it is what I believe to be the correct definition. :)

Asker: yes, it would be turnover if it was quantified, but it isn't. So, I assumed it was meant 'transaction' as in the type of transaction that is taking place (sale, purchase)

agree  izy: from your context, I would agree ... if the 'Umsatz' is quantified, it could also be 'turnover'.
