Danish term or phrase: indrapportering

reporting OR input (context dependent)
Explanation:
It depends entirely on your context.

In an IT setting it can mean either pure reporting, or also "input", of data for example.

Explanation:
I don't think you 'report' data into a computer in English, rather, you enter or feed data into the computer in order to generate a report based on the data.
