The Journal Holding and Journals modules are two separate modules. For documentation purposes they have been grouped together as a logical grouping to demonstrate the accounting transactions within the Finance stream.
The Journal Holding File serves as a central repository for all accounting transactions. These transactions are generated as an outcome of performing a function in the system such as:
Receiving Goods
Issuing Materials
Entering a Plant Log sheet
| Translation - Spanish
Los módulos de Diario de Registros y de Diarios son dos módulos separados. Para propósitos de documentación, ellos se han puesto juntos como un agrupamiento lógico para mostrar las transacciones contables dentro de la corriente Financiera.
El archivo de Diario de Registros funciona como un depósito central de todas las transacciones contables. Estas transacciones se generan como resultado de ejecutar una función en el sistema tal como:
Recibir Bienes
Expedir Materiales
Ingresar una hoja de Registros de Planta
| | English to Spanish: Customs - Module Overview | Source text - English
The Customs module allows you to calculate the duty payable on imported purchase order items and to generate the supporting documentation required for importing goods into a country.
Post tariff codes and taxation rates must be set up in order to calculate the import duty payable for goods. These tariff rates can also be defined as dependent upon other rates if required.
Some items may not be subject to import tax duty, therefore post tariff concessions must be set up to exclude the items from the import tariff rates or reduce the items' import tariff rates. These tariff concession categories may be given an allowed value or quantity, which is used as the limit of goods that can be imported at reduced rates. Once this value or quantity is reached, a warning is given whenever a purchase order is raised for an item of that category.
When goods are received on-site in the destination country, the value of the import duty is calculated using these post tariff rates and concession category reductions.
Lastly, the Customs module allows you to create customs documentation that is used for monitoring the value of goods being exported from and imported into a country.
| Translation - Spanish
El módulo de Aduana le permite a usted calcular el impuesto pagadero sobre artículos de ordenes de compra importados y generar los documentos de respaldo requeridos para importar bienes a un país.
Los códigos de aranceles y las tasas de impuestos deben establecerse con el fin de calcular los derechos de importación pagaderos por los bienes. Estas tasas arancelarias también pueden definirse como dependientes de otras tasas si se requiere.
Algunos artículos no están sujetos a impuestos de importación, por lo tanto se deben establecer excepciones arancelarias para excluir los artículos del arancel de importación o reducir el arancel de importación de los artículos. A estas categorías de excepción arancelaria se les puede asignar un valor o cantidad permitidos, los cuales se usan como límite de los bienes que pueden ser importados a precios reducidos. Una vez este valor o cantidad se alcanza, se da una advertencia siempre que una orden de compra se eleva para un artículo de aquella categoría.
Cuando los bienes se reciben en su sitio en el país de destino, el valor del derecho de importación se calcula usando estas tasas arancelarias y estas reducciones de la categoría de excepciones.
Finalmente, el módulo de Aduana le permite crear la documentación de aduana que se utiliza para supervisar el valor de los bienes exportados e importadado de un país.

| | English to Spanish: Literary Analysis of a Story | Source text - English
By evening, when the uncle tarries before coming home, the aunt suggests he forget about the fair, “for this night of Our Lord.” Although it is Saturday, the evening of the Sabbath, the boy will certainly not substitute religious piety for this extremely important journey to ABX. His boring religious schooling highlights the lack of importance religion plays in this boy’s life.
The train to ABX is deserted, and the gloomy ride foreshadows the negative aspect of the boy’s mission. Like the dead priest, the empty church further symbolizes the emptiness of religion in the boy’s life. The analogy to an empty church after mass is underscored by the counting of coins, which also takes place after a mass, except that this hall represents an ordinary commercial event, not the site of spiritual fulfillment. Therefore, the narrator has “difficulty remembering why [he] had come.”
After examining the insignificant little gifts at the counter, the boy notices the English accents of two men and a woman flirting and speaking shallowly about the woman’s “fib.” He experiences an epiphany when he realizes that no gift will allow him to substitute the love of a common girl for the lost love of a God in which he no longer believes. Although he lingers, “to make [his] interest in her wares seem more real,” he recognizes that his pilgrimage to ABX for love and fulfillment is “useless,” that he has—in fact—been deceiving himself. | Translation - Spanish
Al caer la tarde, cuando su tío se retrasa en llegar a casa, su tía le sugiere que se olvide de la feria, “por esta noche de Nuestro Señor.” Aunque es sábado, la tarde del Sabat, el muchacho seguramente no substituiría la piedad religiosa por este viaje tan importante a ABX. Su aburrida educación religiosa enfatiza la poca importancia que la religión tiene en la vida de este muchacho.
El tren a ABX va desolado y el viaje sombrío presagia el aspecto negativo de la misión del muchacho. Al igual que el sacerdote fallecido, la iglesia vacía simboliza más aún el vacío de religiosidad en la vida del muchacho. La analogía con una iglesia vacía después de una misa se acentúa por el conteo de monedas, que también ocurre después de misa, salvo que este pasaje representa un acontecimiento comercial ordinario, no el sitio de realización espiritual. Por lo tanto, al narrador se le “dificulta recordar a qué había venido.”
Después de examinar los regalitos insignificantes del mostrador, el muchacho nota el acento inglés de dos hombres y una mujer que coquetean y hablan superficialmente sobre "la apariencia" de la mujer. Él encara una epifanía cuando se da cuenta de que ningún regalo le permitirá sustituir el amor de una joven común por el amor perdido de Dios en el cual ya no cree. Aunque se queda paseando, “para hacer que su interés por las cosas de ella parezca más real,” él reconoce que su peregrinación por ABX en busca de amor y felicidad es "inútil", que él - de hecho – se ha engañado a sí mismo. |
