For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If there are multiple volumes that can be accessed for
the transaction, some of them may not have the ability
to be invoiced. One doesn't want to have a user select,
for a transaction, a volume that cannot be invoiced.
If this is the case, then the best solution is to go
back to the developers and have them prevent a user
from being able to select a volume that cannot be
invoiced, thereby preventing the need for this quandary!
Check with the SME to determine the reason for the
precise wording used. It could be that the wording
is accurate and precisely what is intended. Now you
just need to translate it, without losing it's intent.

Along the vein of:
Fight crime, shoot back. Prevent crime, shoot first.
> The invoiceable volume determined for this transaction.
> I am going to reword the sentence as:
> The volume amount to be invoiced for this transaction.
