disagree  Sven Petersson: Not proper accounting terminology! Please see my answer!
1 hr
  -> Same terminology as in question asked
agree  Dziadzio: I am aware that transfer means "overføre" but I'm quite confident that overf. (if the context is accounting) means "overført", i.e. transferred from the year before/another period. Or maybe we need more context to be able to give a definite answer.
1 hr
  -> yes Dziadzio - more context to questions would be nice and is the only way to be absolutely sure in all instances
