Spanish term or phrase: partición real (ver contexto)
***Partición real*** de actividad
Menú SAP:
Finanzas > Controlling > Contabilidad de centros de coste > Cierre de período > Funciones individuales > ***Partición***
[...]
La ***partición*** se puede lanzar en “Ejecución de test”, previo a lanzarla en ***real***.

This is from a computer manual for the accounts for a manufacturing company. Is this simply 'real division'? I really have very little knowledge of SAP and I'm stuck with a translation I really was reluctant to take on, and I'm a little lost. Any help would be gratefully accepted. Thanks in advance.

p.s

I did look into "cost division", but come up with nothing convincing.

Hi,

Please don't think I am being rude, but I have got about as much idea as you have. However "cost sharing activity" seems to be OK, so I don't see what's wrong with "actual cost sharing activity". See:

To be honest, I don't always understand what I've translated, so you're not alone =)

Enjoy your weekend!

Notes to answerer
Asker: I really appreciate the help. I hope I'm not bothering you, but I'm wondering how I fit this into the context -does this then become 'actual cost sharing of/for activity'? It sounds strange to me, but hey, it all does... Any advice? Thanks again for the help.:)

Asker: Liz, once again thanks very much. You know it- when you're pressured into something when you really should just say that there's no way on earth you're going to do it- getting other people'sinput helps so much...We'll see if I can make a half decent job of this- if I do, it will be in great part due to being able to consult helpful people like yourself. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)
