German term or phrase: Mehrungen / Minderungen
Dear colleagues,

I don't work with these language pairs, I just want to help a friend who needs assistance with these terms.

"Mehrungen / Minderungen
Aufgrund konkreter Kundenwünsche hin verursachte Änderungen (Mehrungen/Minderungen)

des technischen Umfangs (z. B. bei Schaltanlagen) sind keine Mehrkosten, wenn sie an den Kunden in Rechnung gestellt werden können

additional or reduced requirements/quantitative changes
Explanation:
Seeing as this is an accountacy question, I believe we are dealing with changes to the order specification rather than types of switchgear. In which case "Mehrungen/Minderungen" are changes to the specification in terms of
"additional or reduced requirements" i.e. "quantitative changes".
