(action) on a (AmE/CanE) liquidated demand vs. (E&W) fixed-sum claim
Explanation:
The asker seems to have been in on this one 5 years ago. See the first web ref.

in Sachen: in the matter of, so ruling out the same prefacing Forderung.

Receivable is, arguably, incongruous in a litigation header.

Urkundeprozeß is, surely, a *summary* procedure (see Dietl/Lorenz), like 'a cheque proceedings/check process' and 'based entirely on documentary evidence'. *Summary* judgment can be entered as a result.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Vielen Dank, Helen. Das "for" fand ich hier eigentlich schon okay. Beispiele auf google UK gibt es genug: "It is understood that some householders in Northern Ireland could face *legal action for unpaid* water charges within seven weeks. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/6190364.stm ODER Taking *legal action for unpaid debts* can be time consuming and expensive with no certainty of the outcome. Where a customer puts forward a dispute as a reason for withholding payment, the usual procedure is to commence legal action with all of the implications that this brings. http://www.cbc-international.co.uk/debt-dispute-and-mediation/ Trotzdem vielen Dank

agree  Johanna Timm, PhD: In the past I have used "documentary proceedings" for Urkundenprozess

  -> Thanks. Urkundenprozeß isn't part of this question, but the EN/Can. angle would pick out the type of underlying debt e.g. unpaid cheque/check or lawyer's bill and the result desired: summary judgment.
