(CH) Abschreibungsnachweis
Depreciation account; record of negative difference


Explanation:
Depending on what the figures in the entries are, the Abschreibung in that listing is more like a negative inventory difference.

If not, then it is depreciation charged



Example sentence(s):
  • When an inventory item is sold, the inventory account should be reduced (credited) and cost of goods sold should be increased (debited) for the amount paid for each inventory item.
  • The following procedures explain how to set up depreciation accounts and enter depreciation

neutral  Sebastian Witte: I think the question is precisely about whether it is depreciation or amortization that is meant in the context. The rest of it isn't all that hard to translate./No, it isn't. It's an either ... or thing.

  -> "Abschreibung" so far as I know is synonym for depreciation and amortization. Don't really follow you here...
