Yes, I probably explained it a little too simplistic. Describing it as the commit is quite accurate I think. In my program I came up with the verb "book" for this, as book a transaction, but I have no idea if it is correct in the English-speaking world.

  They are probably fine but in my ears they lack the precision that the Swedish word has.

    When I am communicating with accountants about this process the verb I use is “allocate”

    It wouldn’t be the first time! I think the suggestion given below, “allocate”, is the best yet.

I'm native English speaker, learned Swedish while living there for 7 years. Yes, "book" is the right translation. Though "book" can mean many other things in English. To book a transaction means "to enter the transaction in the bookkeeping system", hopefully in the right account.
