Spanish term

Compensación de Cotizaciones Mensual (CCM)

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping Taxation
Spain/Bolivia
The actual terms I have to translate is the gnomic "CCM en curso", with no indication of what the acronym is for. My research so far has found an example of usage in the text below from Bolivia:

"El decreto en cuestión implementa el ajuste Inversamente Proporcional (IP) y per cápita de la ***Compensación de Cotizaciones Mensual (CCM)*** en curso de pago de asegurados del Sistema Integral de Pensiones (SIP), estableciendo la forma de su implementación y aplicación."

It would also be interesting to know if the abbreviation CCM is usually translated, or left as it is.

@Althea This client provides e-billing and EDI and related software and services to many different customers in several different countries. The software can be tweaked to adapt to each client’s needs and specifications. In this case, the CMM thing may have been included because it is a specific stipulation by the authorities in the country of origin, which in this case may be Bolivia, I’m not sure. So, it’s not unusual to find terms cropping up where you wouldn’t expect to find them.

Lease management This looks the Spanish might be a literal word for word translation, which often happens with these things. For example, I've seen "fiesta" when it should have been "parte" and "culo" when the original English was "butt" (a type of barrel). I actually keep a list of the most egregious howlers, about twenty or thirty all from the same client at the last count.

With the additional context, including another phrase containing the abbreviation, I think your suggestion is unlikely. Sorry!
I'm not sure about lease management either. Wouldn't that be gerencia alquiler?
Could C or CC be cuentas?

@Althea That does look like the term I have to translate. If it's a pensions thing, I don't know what it's got to do with taxation either, even after reading the definition several times. But there you go, ours not to reason why…

@phil I'm rarely "sure" about what abbreviations stand for, but here you have some of the previous and following strings (some of them have been translated previously and I can't vouch for these translations).
Bienes – Goods
Alquiler gerencia - Lease management
Pedidos – Orders
CCM en curso - ¿?
CCM en cerrados - ¿?
Pedido facture abono com. - Com. credit invoice order
Acuse de recepción - Receipt acknowledgement

I don't think we can be sure that it stands for compensación de cotizaciones mensual. And I agree with Althea that the context needs clarifying. What are the strings before and after this?

I'm a wee bit confused about what pensions have to do with transport/shipping/taxation. However, I found this publication by the Word Bank on pensions in Latin America and the Caribbean which has a translation of CCM in its Bolivian acronyms and abbreviations on page 7 where it states
"CCM Monthly Contribution Compensation". It goes on to describe how it is applied on page 89.

Monthly Weighted-Average [Run-Rate] Adjustment of Defined-Pension Contributions (CCM)

It could be time to move from the Discussion Entries to the posting of an answer.

The length of any explanation in 'English' would militate against a long-string abbreviation or acronym.

Anyway, having tried to make sense of the mechanics in 'Spanglish' at p. 89 of Althea's link, I can see this is - rather than a defined (employer's) benefit - a defined (employee's) contributory scheme.

Misuse of the word 'compensation' doesn't help, namely whether this is a set-off, tax allowance or relief or is an employer's payroll adjustment.

The following explanation connotes to me an averaged-out or non-corporate run-rate (I've included the latter term in case anyone tries - again - to lift parts of my answer): 'The fraction of the accumulated balance is obtained through a *calculation of the life-time fixed or variable interest income* that an insured can earn on the accumulated balance in his/her personal insurance account.'

Query on the article: 'earnings valorisation' for 'income enhancement etc.' vs. valuation and 'Old-Age Solidarity (Social Welfare / Hardship?) Pension' vs. a Polish Trade Union benefit.

Come back ProZ insurance translators, authors of handbooks on such intricate subject!
Example sentence:

Bol. -> Defined contribution The defined-contribution pension is a combination of the fraction of the accumulated balance in the individual account and a Monthly Payments Compensation (CCM), where applicable.

Arg. -> Additional pension (\'social = national ? insurance). The monthly additional pension is equal to 1.5% of the insured’s average adjusted monthly earnings (*weighted average* of the monthly amounts for self-employed workers) for each year of servi

LOL, if that's what it is, I'm not surprised they use the abbreviation! Thanks for posting.
