English translation: assignment of turnover

Bus/Financial - Marketing / Market Research
Dutch term or phrase: omzettoerekening
Context:

"Daarbij merkt het college nog op dat een verdere aanscherping van de datauitvraag , gezien de complexiteit van de omzettoerekening, naar verwachting niet zal leiden tot aan nauwkeurigere marktaandelen. Partijen hebben weliswaar omzetgegevens gerapporteerd per productcategorie, maar het is voor het college onmogelijk om te controleren of partijen de berekeningen hiervoor op een uniforme wijze hebben uitgevoerd. Met bundels gegenereerde omzet kan op verschillende wijzen worden toegerekend aan de verschillende producten in die bundels."

English translation:assignment of turnover
Explanation:
see previous answer to "marktaandeelbepaling."

Determination of market share based on turnover from similar services/products is tough when you're comparing bundled products. Say KPN sells a "minute" of service for €1. That service may be used for telephony, SMS, internet, MMS or... Now say Vodafone sells a "minute" of service for €1 as well, but it's only good for calling. If both companies financial statements show turnover (omzet) of €1, one might then claim that they have equal market share. The ASSIGNMENT OF [that] TURNOVER to telephony, sms, etc., however, is important here: Proper "omzettoerekening" would provide a more realistic picture of market share for these players in the telecom market.

  • Zonder nauwkeurige omzettoerekening blijft marktaandeelbepaling in de telecomsector een wassen neus.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks but wouldn't "assignment of market share" also be possible? Elsewhere in the text, I translated "omzet" as "turnover" and "marktaandeel" as "market share".

Asker: Sorry, forget my last remark.. I was looking at the wrong question.

sale / turnover attribution


Explanation:
Assignment is usually used with regard to tasks or work. I think that in the context "attribution" is the better translation of "toekenning".

I missed the "s". The answer should be "sales / turnbover attribution"
