Explanation:
"Activación" equals "contabilización" in Spanish accounting lingo.
See the AVH Financiero, pages 733, "activar" and 852, "contabilización".
Personally, in your context I would use "recording" or "posting".

agree  Alicia Jordá: I think "capitalization" is the standard financial term
23 mins
  -> You are right, but since Sherry's context already mentions "contable" I suggested posting/recording as an intermediate solution. in order to avoid saying "accounting" and capitalization" together. It's her ball game, now.
agree  patinba: Yes Miguel, recording or posting.

Explanation:
vs. baja = de-activation or reversal.

The activation in this isolated context may not be a term of art at all and have nothing to do with capitalisation of tax credits or releifs.



Example sentence(s):
  • this "highlighted/active/selected Account" item will be set via VBScript on the. detail form. ... set the active account item for connection filtering ...
