I wrote a simple double entry bookkeeping program for myself, and I wanted to use as accurate terminology as possible. My native language is Swedish, and we have a word for the task of categorizing statements into accounts. Basically, when you look at a recipt and tell "this is for inventory, then I will use account X." In the past, you then wrote that down with a pen in a kind of inverted-T table that you had stamped on the receipt. The Swedish word for that activity is "kontera", loosely translated to "accounting". But in English that is the word for the entire activity of keeping books up to date. Is there a word for the specialized task of identifying the accounts?

Edit: Wikipedia has articles for this word in Swedish, Danish and German. But no other languages. Puzzling.
