Bus/Financial - Insurance
Spanish term or phrase: Fras.
Does anyone know what this abbreviation might mean in the context of an insurance document? It is not used in a sentence, the word appears alongside a figure.

Many thanks

deductible (franquicia)
Explanation:
Hi Sonia,

Most often is stands for "factura" but given the context, I should think it might be "franquicia". For "franquicia" see Proz.com Search to adapt it. Generally "deductible" it seems:

Insurance (Other) franquicia It depends on the context (please read below) Robert INGLEDEW

Spanish to English Insurance (Bus/Financial) franquicia deductible rvillaronga

Spanish to English Insurance (Other) franquicia deductible (insurance) Penelope Waters

Spanish to English Insurance (Bus/Financial) franquicia temporal deducible waiting period that is deductible Peter Haden

Spanish to English Insurance (Law/Patents) la franquicia participa de la esencia de una defensa anterior al siniestro a deductible is an essential defence against a claim Paul Stevens

Spanish to English Insurance (Other) modalidad a valor de reposición a nuevo con franquicia. reinstatement as new cover with excess Lydia Tilt

Spanish to English Insurance (Law/Patents) franquicia deductible


Good luck!

There are many other possibilities, but in the context of an insurance document, I'm pretty sure this is the right meaning.

Explanation:
Another possibility - when you make a claim for an object you may have to provide the original bill/invoice to demonstrate the cost of the item you are claiming.
fras - standard abbreviation for facturas
Have just realised that Álvaro has already mentioned this, but I do think it is a possibility against a quantity - your context may make it clearer.

agree  neilmac: This is my first choice, but it could also be an acronym (why do they do insist on writing them in lower case?)
