Law/Patents - Law (general)
German term or phrase: Vorhaften
I'm working on an order from an Austrian governmental authority that specifies various penalties for violations of administrative law in a specific case. I'm having problems with "Vorhaften" in the following phrase: "Weitere Verfügungen (z.B. Verfallsausspruch, Anrechnung von Vorhaften)". Any ideas?

English translation:previously served time
Explanation:
I think that in this case it very likely simply refers to previously served detentions which are taken into consideration when determining the length of the next prison stay.
