@ Mario - 'we need to face the facings' My answer was low CL for a non-core lingo, but not a guess after ringing loud 'Spanish bells' with me for the ostensibly cognate term of cara vista, plus the core-translation is already in the KudoZ glossaries:

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase: tijolo face à vista
English translation: exposed/ apparent/ facing brick

I'm with Mark Adrian, the context provided is not sufficient to tell you what kind of company this is. Your "brickworks" is a mere guess, as the asker hasn't given that info. As I mentioned below, the context further down the document could enlighten us, but we need a reply from jmf in that sense. "Face" still doesn't make any sense here.
Adrian MM. Sep 1, 2019:
@ Mark R. "Receita Face" Receita Face - Facings Sales Rev.
Receita Face à vista - Exposed Facings Sales Rev.

'No logical fit' in the listing of Portuguese, French, Spanish or Italian etc. accounts is something I had been desperately battling with for many years.
Mark Robertson Sep 1, 2019:
@Adrian MM I am not convinced. Seems not to fit the context. Company financial statements containing a specific revenue item regarding a type of brickwork? Does not fit with the preceding and following item. If you are correct about "Receita Face à vista" what does "Receita Face" mean?
Adrian MM. Sep 1, 2019:
The answer is staring at you... .... in the FACE www.proz.com/kudoz/portuguese-to-english/construction-civil...

My (British) brother-in-law used to work in the UK and Spanish building and tiling trade - 'cara vista' tiles and bricks had been part of his catalogue assortment.

FACE Maybe a stupid suggestion, but perhaps FACE is the name of the business entity.
jmf (asker) Aug 30, 2019:
Thank you It seemed odd to me so I assumed it meant "Face" and was then perplexed by à vista.
Oliver Simões Aug 30, 2019:
Agreed No occurrence of this term phrase online. If taken literally, it's nonsensical. More context is needed.
Mario Freitas Aug 30, 2019:
Receita Face This is not a common term in finance or commerce in Portuguese. You must find out what "Face" means down in the context.

Face revenue, cash

:) Face is a company
Note from asker:
That never occurred to me! I have a series of large spreadsheets with column headings, not much additional context. The main project involved relates to highway construction and many of the items are materials.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Laura Hafner : You might be right! Lots of Brazilians refer to Facebook as "o Feice"...so maybe this is revenue from sales through Facebook??

Yes, that's why it would be prudent not translating Face

expected revenue

You need to give us more context, but since this is a financial term, it could be something along the lines of expected revenue, revenue against, or compared revenue. Keep us posted! :)

Brickwork facings sales revenue
