Bus/Financial - Accounting
German term or phrase: ausbuchen
In describing an accounting procedure, the text says, "wenn eine CZK-Zahlung einlangt, wird diese in ADVOKAT in EUR eingegeben und auf den OP angerechnet. Folglich wird es praktisch immer Ueber und Unterzahlungen geben. Ueber oder Unterzahlungen werden manuell ausgebucht."

general journal adjustment
Explanation:
I was thinking deleted from the books, but I can't imagine a company simply deleting data in an accounting system...scary thought. Typically what is done is a general journal adjustment of sorts...so the translation would be "an adjustment is made in the general journal".
