erittelyjä

Erittelyjä is the plural form of erittely, a Finnish term that refers to a detailed statement, breakdown, or itemized description of components that make up a total. The word can denote a formal document or a part of a document that lists individual items, amounts, and explanations in a precise manner. In finance and administration the term is commonly used to describe itemized invoices, expense reports, or bank statements’ line-by-line breakdowns, where costs are shown separately to illustrate how the total has been calculated. In other contexts erittely can also mean a detailed description of methods, data, or procedures within a report.

In practice erittelyjä are characterized by explicit items with descriptions, quantities, unit prices, line totals, taxes where applicable, and a final total. They may appear as separate sheets or as sections within a larger document. They support transparency, auditing, and reimbursement by making the components of a sum explicit.

The term is neutral and formal, suitable for official documents, contracts, and accounting records. Erittelyjä can be used to refer to multiple such itemizations or to the act of providing detailed explanations. Related concepts include selostus (narrative description) and kustannusten erittely (cost breakdown).
