suppliers with debit balances
a creditor is someone who owes you money. The use of debitorisch just means that the say it twice using the word debitorisch just to modify the creditor.

I have to take this answer back. Creditors are indeed people you owe money to, but you can also have overpaid a creditor and in that case they have debit balance.

We used to use this at SAP - but I'm afraid I have no clue what it means or if it's actually a correct financial term!
