| | Alonge payment form | Explanation:
The SAP glossary gives Erlagschein as payment form; Langenscheidt gives Erlagsschein as deposit slip (or paying-in slip). So the only problem is Alonge. There are *no* Goggle hits for Alonge-Erlagschein or Alongeerlagschein, and of the 28,000 hits for Alonge by itself, all seem to refer to proper names (or are typos for other words). So could Alonge be the name of a person or institution, e.g. "Alonge payment form"? Or is it a typo for another German term?

OK, here\'s another idea for Alonge. I\'ve found a couple references in Austrian company reports to this word, where it is listed, along with other locations such as \"Umschlag,\" instead of a page number to find a certain piece of information, and on another couple pages in the expression \"per Alonge.\" My best guess based on these clues is that an Alonge is some kind of preprinted, enclosed form that might be included in a mailing to make it easier for someone to provide or solicit information. If this works in your context, then perhaps something like \"preprinted payment form\" or \"preprinted deposit slip\" might be right. |
