Japanese term

フロントプロセス

Japanese to English Bus/Financial Accounting
Hi everyone,

I have bumped into this accounting term, used in the following manner
フロントプロセスで支払処理
フロントプロセスで決済

I can't really provide more context then the above this time around...
Any suggestions for an English translation of フロントプロセス?
"Front office process" maybe?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your suggestion, but no, it's about accounting within a large company unrelated to the hotel business.

ホテルの会計システム?

preliminary (front-loading) process

It's a guess but oftentimes, in Japanese they used a Japanized version of terms with hints in English such as this one, フロント to mean "done ahead of time or as a preliminary process.

Because businesses do not want to hire accountants to fill all their open positions, programmers design accounting systems with a "front-end" and a "back-end." The front-end of the system is designed for use by non-accountants. It should be intuitive, easy to use, and easy to train new employees on. Thus, the clerk selling clothing to customers on the retail floor can easily ring up a customer's purchase and collect the money. The clerk doesn't have to decide which general ledger account should be credited with the sale, which account should be debited for the cost of the sale, which inventory account the clothing item should be removed from, etc.
