Portuguese term

recurso

Portuguese to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Context: This is in a quote:
One column indicates the RFQ items and the next column indicates the Quote items.
The RFQ is requesting in the first column the quote for airfare, lodging, etc. for a Factory Acceptance Test.
The Quote column responds with the following: 3 recursos do CITEX em visita à XXXX. Passagem aérea + Hotel + Estadia. Then a total price is given in a third column. Normal meanings of recurso such as a resource or an appeal seem to do fit the context.

Discussion

Neal Allen (asker) Nov 22, 2012:
The second column is the items offered by the quoting company in response to the RFQ. The third column is the amount. "Employee" seems to be correct.

agree Lucimar Menezes : Jorge, por vezes, também usa-se Pessoas como referência a recurso(s), em RH. Mas creio que você deu a melhor solução com 'employees'. Abs, Lucy

amount

From what I understand of your description, this column is showing the amount for the items quoted. "recurso" can mean "monetary amount", and that would seem to fit here.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Lucimar Menezes : Martin, desculpe-me mas o texto trata de uma visita do grupo/time do CITEX. A palavra recurso pode sim significar 'verba' ou 'quantia em dinheiro', mas não é o que parece no contexto. Abs, Lucy
