Spanish term or phrase: el Mayor de algunas Cuentas
Hi. From a list of the documents requested from a company for the purpose of calculating its corporate ecological footprint, using a method that looks at the company accounts:

"Para el cálculo de la huella ecológica de XXX, se solicitó el Balance de Sumas y Saldos, el detalle del Inmovilizado Material, así como el detalle del Mayor de algunas Cuentas al Departamento económico-financiero."

Thanks for your help :)
