French term or phrase: Code tiers
This phrase is in an accounting guideline for an international organisation. The 'code tiers' is a code allocated to a third party for a bookkeeping entry where the sum is transferred temporarily, ie it might be an advance to a supplier or member of staff, or a deposit. Any suggestions? Thanks very much
