English translation:club members' deposits (advances)
Explanation:
Based on the asker's previous questions, this probably also has to do with a golf club. "Abonnés" means members. A liability arises when members have put up security deposits or possibly made advance payments of fees to finance the development of a golf course, for instance. "Appelés" would fit here, but it would be helpful if the asker could provide a littlte more information.

Actually, \"billed membership fees\" may be the correct term. Membership fees for the coming year can be treated as a liability since the club will have to refund them if it is not in a position to provide the corresponding services. The liability is then amortized as the year elapses and fees are no longer refundable.
