Tamaño de girado

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping EDI billing
Item on a logistics software list. "Girado" can mean a bank draft, but "tamaño seems an odd collocation. Nor is there much context available:

"Retenida para control de calidad
Tamaño de girado
Teléfono
Tipo impuesto
Tipo transacción
Transporte pagado a
Vendedor comrpueba a cliente"
(sic)

Por el contexto financiero esto parece ser una re-traduccion de lo que originalmente fuera "importe girado"
Note from asker:
O sea, que "importe" se habrá traducido como "amount" al inglés, y luego alguien lo ha traducido de vuelta como "tamaño"... puede ser. Por la misma ruta, "Vendedor comrpueba a cliente" quiere decir "Vendor check to client". Gracias Ozzy y buen fin de semana :)
Turns out most of my doubts about this text were down to the dodgy backtranslation. We live and learn!
