business transaction or event
Explanation:
Where an actual transaction is not explicitly implied, then "business event" would be a far better choice than the virtually meaningless "business case".

"In der Buchhaltung ist stets von Geschäftsfällen die Rede, die verbucht werden müssen. Geschäftsfälle gibt es natürlich auch in der Einnahmen-Ausgaben-Rechnung, dort werden sie in einfache Listen eingetragen, aber nicht direkt verbucht wie bei den Konten der doppelten Buchhaltung."

agree  Steffen Walter: AKA "Geschäftsvorfall" or "Geschäftsvorgang" in German. I'd tend to use "transaction", but am by no means sure absent further context.

(commercial vs. land) dealing > ref. no.


Explanation:
I would preface with commercial only to distinguish from dealing with land on the Austrian Grunbuch, but more context is needed despite my familiarity with trade searches in Vienna.
