Spanish term or phrase: reposicion / cuenta de reposiciones
Does anyone have an idea of what this term could be? I'm not quite sure of the meaning in Spanish.

"Replenishment Account" or "Replacement Account" just don't sound like they would be correct in English. Here is some context:


Asesor Técnico: Análisis de los riesgos de construcción y Operación, así como la validación del presupuesto de construcción, mantenimiento y REPOSICIÓN y de los gastos de operación y mantenimiento, de las inversiones de REPOSICIÓN y revisión de las obras al término de construcción. El Asesor Técnico aprobado por las Entidades Acreditantes es el Sr. Rodriguez.

Cuentas del proyecto.- La Acreditada abrirá las Cuentas necesarias para el Proyecto en la Entidad Agente, entre ellas, la Cuenta Operativa, la Cuenta de Reserva del Servicio de la Deuda, la CUENTA DE RESERVA DE GRANDES REPOSICIONES, la Cuenta de Seguros, la Cuenta de Amortización Anticipada Obligatoria, la Cuenta de Distribuciones (en su caso), la Cuenta de Disposición Restringida, la Cuenta de Aportaciones Contingentes y la Cuenta RPA…

Hi there, Mr P!
Helena gave me the idea... The first references that jump out in a Google search are from Medicare, but they can't have the monopoly on the term :)

Another option could be "provision/provisional account".
(A provision is an amount of cash that is set aside from the profits in the accounts of a business to cover a known liability or to account for depreciation of an asset.)

The University was also required to maintain a repair and replacement reserve account for the property financed with the other bonds payable. The University was required to make an annual deposit, not to exceed $44,000, in the repair and replacement reserve account when the account balance was below the ceiling of $440,000. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014, the repair and replacement account had a balance of $-0- and $313,201, respectively. Due to the payoff of the related bonds payable in 2015, no amounts were required to be held in the repair and replacement reserve account as of June 30, 2015. In the prior year, this amount was included in cash and cash equivalents.

Inversiones de reposición = replacement investments

In economics, net investment is spending which increases the availability of fixed capital goods or means of production and goods inventories. It is the total spending on newly produced physical capital (fixed investment) and on inventories (inventory investment)—that is, gross investment—minus replacement investment, which simply replaces depreciated capital goods.

neutral  philgoddard: I think this is a strong possibility, as it fits the context of "construcción, mantenimiento y..." But English references don't really prove anything - we need Spanish ones.

  -> Phil, thank you for your opinion. I hadn't understood that you were referring to the definition of the term in Spanish :-)

agree  neilmac: "Reposición" suggests"replacement" to me. I was actually going to post this as an add-on to my suggestion...

Reference information:
replacement reserve
An amount of money set aside because building components or equipment will wear out in a relatively short time and need to be replaced.Replacement reserves can be a mere accounting entry as a phantom expense item reducing net operating income each month, or it can be money actually deposited into an account and earmarked for replacements.If the money is set aside into a separate account,any contract for the purchase of that property or business should include a clause addressing who gets the money—the purchaser or seller.When purchasing a condo or co-op,or a home in a planned unit development,the buyer should make sure there are adequate cash replacement reserves for the future.If not, then repairs will not be made or they will be made only after assessments against all owners.

WHAT IS THE REPLACEMENT RESERVE?
The replacement reserve is a fund kept by each housing sponsor under the terms of its operating agreement with CMHC.
The reserve is used to replace or repair what are known as capital items. The replacement reserve is funded from a sponsor’s operating budget through an annual or monthly transfer to the reserve.
The amount to be transferred, which is an eligible operating expense, is the amount set out in the operating agreement or another amount approved by CMHC.

WHAT IS A CAPITAL ITEM?
There are different kinds of capital items in a housing project, most of which have long life spans. They consist of the major building and property components, services and systems and project facilities and equipment.
Capital items generally have an expected useful lifespan that will vary according to quality and project conditions.The useful life of capital items comes to an end when the cost of repairs or maintenance is no longer worthwhile because they will not extend the useful life by a reasonable length of time.
Major repairs or renovations, the benefits of which extend beyond the current fiscal period and cannot easily be paid for out of annual operating budgets, can also be considered as capital items.
Examples of these kinds of repairs are major roof repairs or window caulking of high-rise projects where extensive scaffolding must be erected.
