German term or phrase: Vorgangskippen
"Nicht gebuchte Vorgänge werden auf der Buchungsmaske bei Rechnungsdruck, Vorgangskippen oder beim Öffen/Schließen des Vorgangs einmal durchgerechnet, wenn der Schalter auf J steht". "Vorgang" is definitely "booking file" in this context, that I'm sure of, but what could "kippen" mean in this context? Is it German accounting slang? I cannot find in any dictionary and never heard this term before, although I worked 20 years in the travel industry, 12 of which in Germany. Help! Thanks! :-)

Explanation:
Könnte es sein, dass es sich um einen Anglizismus handelt und "Vorgang skippen" gemeint ist? Das hieße, der Vorgang wird in irgendeiner Form übersprungen?

Wäre dann: to skip the booking file
