Clearing document
Explanation:
As has already been indicated, this is Spanish SAP-speak, and I think it needs to be translated into English SAP-speak.

Doc. comp. is short for Documento de compensación. Lorena has already posted the page for this from the SAP library. Here's the first part:

"Documento de compensación
Definición

Documento que se crea automáticamente para cada sociedad implicada en la compensación. Se crea un documento de compensación en las situaciones siguientes:
- Compensación cero
- Después de ejecutar el programa de compensación
Estructura
La cabecera de documento se crea automáticamente; el sistema indica que hay un documento de compensación en lugar de la partida individual.
Integración
Si se lleva a cabo la compensación utilizando una operación para la que no se define ninguna clase de documento, por ejemplo, en la compensación de deudores, se utiliza una clase de documento referencia para la cabecera de documento. Se trata de la misma clase de documento que se utiliza cuando los traslados son necesarios para la compensación, por ejemplo, debido a divisiones diferentes en las posiciones."

Well, in the English version of SAP, compensación is called clearing, and a documento de compensación is called a clearing document. Here's the English version for comparison:

"Clearing Document
Definition

Document that is generated automatically for each company code involved in clearing. A clearing document is generated in the following situations:
- Zero clearing
- After running the clearing program
Structure
The document header is generated automatically; the system displays an indicator that there is a clearing document in place of the line item.
Integration
If clearing is carried out using a transaction for which no document type is defined, for example, customer clearing, a default document type is used for the document header. This is the same document type that is used when transfer postings are required for clearing, for example, because of different business areas in the items."

You can confirm in the tree at the left of each page that these two correspond.

Explanation:
Just a guess, but it seems likely.

La documentación comprobatoria debe contener toda la información que soporte la correcta aplicación de las normas del régimen de precios de transferencia dentro de las operaciones con vinculados.

Documentos Comprobatorios son los documentos originales que generan y amparan los registros contables de la dependencia o entidad.

Perhaps "source document" or "original documentation" would also work.
