Flemish term or phrase: doorrekeningen
This term appears in an email from an accounting firm to its business client:

"De zeer positieve resultaten hebben vooral te maken met de recente licentie contracte maar bvb is op diet moment nog niet het impact duidelijk
van ***doorrekeningen*** vanuit Belgien van R&D etc.

Are "doorekeningen" invoices, charges, or something else?

Explanation:
I think what is meant here is that the impact of the Belgian R&D costs to be passed on is not yet clear.

Explanation:
Doorrekenen has more than one meaning.

In this case it simply means to charge costs the vendor has made to the customer.

Example: if I translate a text for you but I had to hire a specialist to solve certain issues, I can charge (pass on) his fees to you or not. If I do, I will 'doorrekenen' the cost to you.
