French term

par ancienneté des fournisseurs

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Business management
Hi all,

I'm translating a business management services document from French (France) to English (UK), and I'm having trouble working out one of the phrases for the services provided. Please see below for context:

Contrôle des états financiers:
- contrôle du bilan et du compte de pertes et de profits;
- suivi de la balance par ancienneté des fournisseurs;
- contrôle du bilan de la Société avec l'équipe de gestion de patrimoine.

Could anyone help please? Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Was unaware of the UK "ageing" variant. In all honesty.

Thanks, much appreciated.
agree Mpoma : Plausible AFAIK. "Ageing" is the preferred spelling in international/UK English and this specifically says it is for UK consumption. // It's the US spelling which is the variant. The canonical, *international* spelling has an E.

as per supplier seniority

I can only assume this is a measure of confidence/reliability.

A supplier providing €1 million worth of goods in the last year is not the same as one who has supplied €20 million worth over the last 20 years.

"Provides the analysis of client balances and supplier seniority on modifiable seniority intervals. When obtaining the report and ABC client and supplier balances are presented aggregate or detailed on documents from balance."
http://www.hosting-erp.ro/wp-content/uploads/EN_Produs_EMSYS... [the English is atrocious]

"Towards suppliers: the high average suppliers’ seniority is a signal of the good quality of the relationship and a high level of partnership."

Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : I don't think that really fits with the other items on the list, especially as this is 'suivi de la balance par ancienneté des fournisseurs' — in this context, aged purchase ledger balance would be more relevant.

neutral philgoddard : It's definitely the age of the debt. "La balance âgée est un document utilisé en comptabilité pour récapituler l'ensemble des comptes clients et fournisseurs qui ne sont pas soldés en les déclinant par tranches d’ancienneté." https://www.affacturage.fr

neutral Daryo : that could make sense for some decisions, but "suivi de la balance par ancienneté des fournisseur" would be far more likely about the "age" of each recevable.
5 hrs
neutral Mpoma : I can see how it can be tempting to read it that way. But 1) ghits show that "balance par ancienneté des créances" is a not uncommon accounting expression; 2) context matters, as Tony says: the heading is about "états financiers".

neutral AllegroTrans : I also think this is about debt age - not supplier "age"

as per age of supplier debt

I think this is the clearest way to render thus

Peer comment(s):

agree Mpoma : Acc really isn't my area of specialism. The correct technical term may well be "supplier balance ageing report" - or not. Calling Rob Grayson to the rescue!

agree Yvonne Gallagher : seems like clearest way
