@Port City Thank you for your explanation.
Port City Dec 24, 2020:
Apology Sorry I mistook 繰入 as 繰越. The provision is simply for the previous year. (My point for the 過年度 remains the same.)
Port City Dec 23, 2020:
brought forward from the previous year 過年度 here only refers to the previous fiscal year rather than non-specific prior year(s). 過年度〇〇〇繰入額 is the amount brought forward (carried forward) from the previous year. I would suggest "provisions for product warranty brought forward from the previous year" for 過年度製品保証等引当金繰入額.

provision for product warranties in prior year

"Provision for product warranties" often used in financial statements. Stick a "prior year" or "prior period" on, and you're good to go, IMHO!

"Provision for product warranties for prior periods"

I am not 100% sure but I believe that readers will understand with no problem if you express like this.
