Italian term or phrase: dispositivo (in this context)
Appears as an adjective in a description of accounting software, eg:

- operare sugli ordini in modo dispositivo
- funzioni dispositive
- flussi dispositivi
- visualizzare l'ordine nei prospetti dispositivi

I have no idea on this one. Any help greatly appreciated.

che contiene una decisione un ordine, ...

Explanation:
These are definitions from Devoto e Oli dictionary:

dispositivo: che contiene una decisione, un ordine "la parte dispositiva di una sentenza;". *non comune Preliminare, preparatorio, diretto a disporre in un senso o aun fine determinato "facoltà dispositiva".

Guess the first definition is Ok for you.
