Bus/Financial - Government / Politics / Forkortet post på lønnslipp
Norwegian term or phrase: Omp.
Sitter med en lønnslipp fra en offentlig barnehage i Oslo hvor det på lønnsslippen til en barnehageassistent står:
"To-språklig assistanse Grønland" som overskrift og deretter Omp. under med en lønnssats. På en annen lønnsslipp er det ikke henvisning til noen overskrift, kun linjen om lønnssats. Noen som har peiling på hva denne forkortelsen kan stå for?

Takk for hjelpen! Riktig god søndag.

Explanation:
I'm pretty sure this is an abbreviation for "ompostering". Do a search with "ompostering" + "reposting" and you will get a few good links to SAP pages where this translation is used.

Hi, NO-EN-DE. Well, but I don't know what sort of info these pay slips usually contain, but nowadays these accounting systems might well contain such information. I can't think of any other logical alternative here. I just found an example which illustrates that Oslo Utdanningsetat use this abbreviation - see http://www.utdanningsetaten.oslo.kommune.no/getfile.php/utda... , but you might want to ask the client to confirm this.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ompostering av detaljposter i controlling brukes vanligvis til å korrigere konteringer som er kontert feil i avdelingene oppstrøms.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hey and thanks! I found this as well, but thought it strange to use sucha term on a pay slip. It would seem more likely to be an entry in an accounting system... hm... :o)

Asker: Thanks again, Brigid. Don't think the client will have any ideas in this regard, unfortunately:o) So it is just us;o) Have a great Sunday!
