Danish term

disponering

Danish to English Bus/Financial Accounting Accounting guidelines
I am trying to determine the exact meaning of "disponering", which appears several times in this document.
These are some examples:
"Forvaltning af udgifter omfatter dels **disponering** af udgifter, herunder løn, indkøb, god-kendelse af udgiftsbilag, samt periodisering af udgifter."
- Could it mean planning, handling, or incurring expenses here?
"Ved disponering af udgifter forstås indgåelse af aftaler mv...."
The text also mentions "disponering af indtægter" and "disponering" in the area of hiring and firing people.

I did see the other Kudoz entry that used "resource allocation", but I am not sure that would work here.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Nikolaj

allocate

It is a term used in budgeting and dispersal of available funds, both in Norwegian and in Danish. You can find it in the Clue dictionary among other places. Other meanings include use, manage, employ, administer. Given the context you have offered, I would probably use allocate.

appropriation

Looks like management, but then problem of how to render the first word of forvaltning: administration, perhaps.

Usually works in a UK accounting in the US allocation sense, as meaning either distribution of profit or setting aside to reserves, whilst - coupled with expenses - just about works.

Bailey's DA>EN Handels- og Fagordbog dictionary: disponert for = (this money has been) appropriated.
Example sentence:

Salaries and Expenses Appropriation.
