French term or phrase: X facture à ses clients les références correspondant aux prestations réalisées
The sentence is taken from a section of a document relating to the invoicing procedures practised by a large manufacturing company. I am unsure how to translate "références" in this context but have translated the rest of the sentence as follows:
'X invoices its clients for the ? corresponding to the services provided'.

Explanation:
Références can also mean "benchmarks" when it's about a product - term used in marketing.

I found this all in Harrap's.

You could alternatively say:
X invoices clients for the mentioned corresponding services carried out/rendered.

....whatever seems to fit the rest of the text best, I would think.
