German term

Abb.

German to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
On a payroll dept. form in the row for the processing (Abwicklung) of salary payments (Zahlung Gehalt) there are 3 possible boxes to check:
1) DTA (DCE - data carrier exchange), 2) Abb. (?) or 3) Überw. (Bank transfer)

I'm used to seeing "Abb." used for Figure. Any ideas?
Proposed translations (English)
4 +2 debit
