English term

carry a deduction

English to French Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Amounts 90+ days past due may carry a double deduction for the salesperson and impact the salesperson’s manager, subject to review by Business Manager, VP/EVP, Global Credit Manager and VeriFone CFO with final approval by the VP/EVP and CFO.

Les montants en retard de plus de 90 jours pourront être déduits deux fois du compte des vendeurs et avoir un impact sur le directeur du vendeur, soumis à des révisions par le Directeur financier, le VP/VPE, le Directeur du Crédit international et le Directeur des finances de VeriFone avant qu’elle soit mise en place, avec l’approbation du VP/VPE et du Directeur des finances.

"être déduit" convient ?

Merci de votre aide

François Begon Sep 3, 2011:
Not the amounts themselves Of course the amounts themselves are not at stake or involved. It's quite clear.
Vaddy Peters Sep 3, 2011:
carry or cause or involve or lead to
Tony M Sep 3, 2011:
Not really! That changes the meaning completely!

The reason it's expressed this specific way in EN is because it's not the amounts themselves that are going to be deducted, but rather, the commission on them that the salesman might otherwise have earned.
I.e. if a salesman has poor payers as customers, not only will s/he lose their commission, but they will even be 'fined' by having the same amount again deducted from their overall commission.

So your formulation in FR needs to reflect this rather different situation...

agree Tony M : I think this is the right idea; do you think 'pourront' might better render 'may' here?
