I didn't need to check my glossaries (on my computer or bookshelf). This is not a difficult question.

I read the Asker's question (does [doorhalen] only mean "to cancel" or also "to enter"?), and immediately thought: no, it doesn't. At least not in this context (Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce). Sure, it might mean 'to enter', if we were talking textile terminology, but we aren't. Hell, it can even mean 'staying up all night drinking', which you might even find in a Beer Glossary. Hardly relevant here though.

Pointing out that one of my 46 personal glossaries on Proz (called '2000 textieltermen') contains an entry in which 'doorhalen' can mean 'enter' is just moeilijkdoenerij.

The confusion may stem from the term 'doorhalen' as used in knitting or crocheting, where it could well be translated as 'to enter' (as per Michael's glossary entry http://www.proz.com/?sp=gloss/term&id=19780694)

Not in any other context though as far as I'm aware.

Can we maybe have a little more context?

Ok, thank you!

No, I have never heard of it being used to mean 'enter'.
