Keith Jackson (asker) Feb 26, 2018:
@Daryo, There is not much more context to add. It is 1) a description of 2) a function in 3) an operations manual for 4) an application dealing with 5) counterparty risk. Sorry if the apparent lack of context threw you off your stride. Maybe I should have restricted the question to people who specialize in the field.

Never mind. TechLawDC has provided an excellent response, spot on, that I'll happily accept (after 24 hours).

Batch et exécutable permettant le calcul du risque de contrepartie à partir des consommations et des disponibles des entités impliquées.
[In the cases of] a "batch" [or] "executable" [file], [the programme] allows calculation of counterparty risk from the outlays and the available assets, of the entities involved.
(Definition of "outlays": Amounts of money spent, especially at the beginning of a planned activity or business.)
Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : sounds very plausible but could as well be wildly off the mark ... far too little context available, can't see any point in even trying to answer.

disagree Adam Warren : consommations: portion of credit limit utilised.

inputs

Inputs =Resources such as people, raw materials, energy, information, or finance that are put into a system (such as an economy, manufacturing plant, computer system) to obtain a desired output. Inputs are classified under costs in accounting.
Note from asker:
My thought was that 'inputs' was perhaps a bit too general, and risky, since engineers, of course, use the singular for any data that goes into a computer. Here, the word is being used in a specific financial sense, talking about available funds, or assets, (not just cash, either) that the bank or the clearing house can get it hands on if a counterparty defaults.
