Need somebody's expert opinion. Yes, I'm aware there are a lot of entries, but the sheer amount still hasn't helped me. I simply cannot choose among them; they are too varied, and I don't know whether the context I provided--which is pretty explicit--fits for my entry. I would ask others to look at the sentence. Is it invoicings, charges? What seems logical for an annual report and an audit? Got me. I'm not sure what fits.

settlements

specifically, intercompany settlements

EUR XXX (previous year: EUR XXX) of the EUR YYYY (previous year: EUR YYY) in other operating expenses were attributable to intercompany settlements. These essentially include settlements of personnel expenses for providing ZZZ Holding employees to QQQ.

You can also call them "cost transfers" since ZZZ is transferring the costs to QQQ.

Thanks, Ted!
Peer comment(s):

agree Timothy Wood : I'd go with this, too. It is very hard to tease out the translation for "Verrechnung" from time to time.

I sympathise with Marc, because this is a tricky word that can have several translations depending on the context. Here's my suggestion, which we don't appear to have had before.
