goods under approval/under view

Explanation:
conto visione is what you write on what was the bolla di accompagnamento which is now the DDT (documento di trasporto)which normally means that if you get stopped during transport by the nice Finanza police they won't expect you to cough up a fattura for the goods. The other respondent is not wrong but it doesn't fit your context.

Thanks Fame, Tayfun and Vittorio. Fame's answer fits my context well - I can't use "consignment" because I also have "conto deposito".

consignment account

Explanation:
I do not disagree with the second contribution, but it seems to fail to take care of the "conto" concept and to make a decision about the eventual destination of the merchandise. The idea of consignment would, at least take care of that. In any event, it appears to be a system of invoicing that is not common.

Commento per Vittorio

Explanation:
Vittorio,

tu hai ragione. Conto lavorazione, conto deposito, conto visione sono tutte voci per merci o materiali in corso di trasformazione che devono essere contabilizzate e rese visibili a fine esercizio all'interno di un bilancio. In questo senso sono "conti o accounts".

Invece, quando si usa il termine conto nel contesto di Derek - in inglese non è necessario specificare "account".

Ciao

Alison
