Italian term

ciclo passivo

Italian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Ad ogni ddt con causale reso a fornitore emesso dalla logistica, il sistema informativo genera automaticamente un movimento contabile che sarà registrato dal ciclo passivo.

This is the definition I've found online:

Fase commerciale di gestione dei documenti del fornitore. Prevede: offerta dal fornitore, ordine al fornitore, bolla in entrata, registrazione fattura fornitore, pagamento al fornitore.

I know this generally translates as 'Purchasing' but can't seem to fit this into the above sentence ..!
