German term or phrase: Ich ordne diese Umsatz womöglich diesem Hotel zu.

Hello,

My name is Raj, and I have never asked anything here yet. I am a beginner translator. With this question, I am starting to ask question here and asking for help of my fellow colleagues. I am translating for a company that deals with hotels. It offers rooms to customers. There is a mail from the customer to the company in which the customer is saying something, however I have not been able to understand this.
please anyone could help me with this. I am also asking a sentence that comes after this sentence in another question.

Thanks in advance.

English translation:I may be able to match that transaction to this hotel

Explanation:
"...I may be able to match that transaction to this hotel. But then again, this wasn’t supposed to be paid in advance/include an advance payment..."

I am speculating the customer, who wrote those emails, wanted a hotel room and is reviewing charges associated with the booking. Must not be a native speaker. Use of "Umsatz" seems out of place in this context.

Grading comment

Thank you so much Michael for helping me here. You made me think in a different way. However, I replaced "transaction" with "debit" as I found it to be more accurate.
The final sentence was: I have got a credit card booking information. I think this debit relates to this hotel, but How is it possible since I was not supposed to make any deposit while booking - payment only on-site.

I really appreciate,
Thanks again
Raj

Umsatz (English: turnover usually is the amount of business that a company does in a period of time. But it may also refer to a Hotel´s "turnover with guests". poor turnover = few guest, good turnover : many guests. The German is admittedly not the best and in part unintelligible.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Hello, I got what you were trying to make me understand. I am sorry for not understanding this in the first place since I am a beginner in this profession, and that is why I asked for help in the first place. This was my first question here. Thank you Raj

Asker: Hello, Ellen Above, you suggeted this to me: "es ist der Gäste Umsatz gemeint". What do you mean here? Der Gäste (plural) Umsatz - how did you link Umsatz and Gäste gramatically here. I am appreciating your answers. Please help if you can.
