Hi,
The distinction between "asiento" and "apunte" is giving me fits, even after reviewing entries in ProZ. I am translating documentation for a software product called "Finanzas," and both terms have been translated as "entry." To me, "Asiento" seems to be "Entry," but "Apunte" is explained to me here by the Finanzas technician as follows:
"Una de las anotaciones que conforman un asiento (libro, cuenta, importe, signo)." Could this be "Note" in this context? Thanks!

To all intents and purposes, "entry" is OK for both, but if you need to distinguish between the whole entry and an addition or note, then your suggestion sounds right to me.

Comment: "Thanks, Neilmac. I am going to go with "note." I am concerned about confusion with "documentos," which are also called "notes," but I think it will work out.
Richard"
