French term

plan de raccordement

French to English Bus/Financial Accounting
this is a document/table that allocates account codes to budget lines (financial lines) within a given budget.

Is there a specific term for this in English? my client's standard terms translations (that I've been asked to work on and boy does it need it!) calls it the 'table link'. Can anyone shed any light?

Proposed translations

Selected

budget mapping table

That's what I'd call it if I were designing the software. OR Budget link table.

similar to Chart of Accounts

This seems similar to the Chart of accounts (plan comptable/plan des comptes)

The granddictionnaire has a good definition:

<<Liste codifiée des comptes d'une entité classés selon leur nature et selon les différentes fonctions de l'entreprise, établie en vue de permettre une meilleure interprétation de l'information financière>>
------------------------------------
Specifically referring to Budgets, I found a reference to the FOAPAL which is coined by a specific budgeting software used my large organizations (like universities).

See Page 14:

-------------------
Otherwise you can adapt to make something more accurate, such as 'Chart of Accounts for budget'.

Hope this helped

Sorry, I have another possible suggestion, but can't make a new suggested answer, so I'll have to tack it on to this one.
An accountant friend of mine just suggested another option:
Map (instead of link)
"As a way to differentiate each class of deduction from other deductions and from earning payments, the Account Mapping functionality will again be utilized. See Appendix 3 for a complete listing of deduction codes that map to a specific account."

??? As I said, I couldn't modify and make a new suggested answer - but someone else is selected who gave the same answer much later ???

I spent time finding good references to help. I don't think I'll be lending a hand any more.
Good luck.
