KOST/MASKO

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:MASKO
English translation:Masko = Maschinenkosten
Entered by: David Wallace

German to English translations [Non-PRO]
Bus/Financial - Human Resources / I.D. numbers
German term or phrase: KOST/MASKO
appears in personnel (human resources) forms, followed by a series of numbers--3 for KOST and 5 for MASKO looks like social security number or something similar.

Elsewhere in documents, broken down into 3 parts, also with abbreviations or acronyms:
Ges. __ __ K.St.__ __ __ and MASKO __ __ __ __ __

No Google hits or entries in KudoZ glossaries. Thanks for any help!

I'm selecting this answer because I really appreciated the link--I wasn't able to locate anything via the search engines. I also appreciate the first answer, too, though: I really should have posted these as separate questions, but I thought they were part of the same abbreviation. I wonder whether I can repost one separately to award points? Is that fair?

Explanation:
I'm afraid I can only help you with Koststelle as Cost center. MASKO sounds like an abbreviation.
