Sorry, I'm none the wiser. Documents/vouchers? Typo for beregningsgrunnlag? Dunno.
Dawn Nixon (asker) Apr 4, 2011:
Without going into too much detail XXXXX is one of the partners in a partnership agreement.
Christopher Schröder Apr 4, 2011:
Reading this I feel I need to know who XXXXX is (not necessarily name but role)

basis for calculation

Tilrettelegges av, sounds like the scribe may have overstepped. "beregningene skal tilrettelegges av XXXXX sitt beregningsunderlag" - No beregningsunderlag I have ever seen takes an active role in adapting or personalising computations.
All in all, a strong case for returning to the customer with a query of 'can I have this in plain English, please?'
Note from asker:
Thank you for confirming my suspicions as I had actually written this, but I was a bit thrown off as my dictionary translates 'beregningsgrunnlag' as 'basis for calculation', but from what I can ascertain from other sources it means the same thing. And, yes, 'plain English' would make life a bit easier :)
