Portuguese term or phrase: recurso
Context: This is in a quote:
One column indicates the RFQ items and the next column indicates the Quote items.
The RFQ is requesting in the first column the quote for airfare, lodging, etc. for a Factory Acceptance Test.
The Quote column responds with the following: 3 recursos do CITEX em visita à XXXX. Passagem aérea + Hotel + Estadia. Then a total price is given in a third column. Normal meanings of recurso such as a resource or an appeal seem to do fit the context.

agree  Lucimar Menezes: Jorge, por vezes, também usa-se Pessoas como referência a recurso(s), em RH. Mas creio que você deu a melhor solução com 'employees'. Abs, Lucy

amount


Explanation:
From what I understand of your description, this column is showing the amount for the items quoted. "recurso" can mean "monetary amount", and that would seem to fit here.

disagree  Lucimar Menezes: Martin, desculpe-me mas o texto trata de uma visita do grupo/time do CITEX. A palavra recurso pode sim significar 'verba' ou 'quantia em dinheiro', mas não é o que parece no contexto. Abs, Lucy
