Italian term or phrase: ADDEB

I am translating what it looks a ledger too keep track of the monetary transactions. I am not sure what this stands for - but I suspect that it stands for ADDEBITAMENTO. If this is the case what would be the best translation? Dictionaries translate it simply as "debit", but in accounting it may actually be a charge that is credited, hence a credit. Does any body know?

Debit (record)

Explanation:
A bean counter is speaking:

Dare/Addetito/Addebitamento in a PRIMANOTA is the same thing.
Actually, in Double Entry Bookkeeping, you double entry Dare/Debit and Avere/Credit, that is , you debit an amount to an account and at the same time, credit to another one.
