Factura Talonario Contingencia

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping DIAN Tax and customs authority
COLOMBIA. This appears in a list of e-billing software strings. I know what a "contingency invoice" is, but I'm not sure what the "talonario" (cheque book) component is doing there. There is no more helpful context. The next string up is "Factura Talonario Papel"...And the previous one was "Número de devolución"...

I expect it's a booklet of invoices in parts or quotas, with a part of each invoice to be returned as a receipt to the one who pays.

@Neil I think 'talonario' is being used only to highlight the numbered or sequential nature of the documents as patinba points out.

So Even though the usual translation of "talonario" might be cheque book, that option would seem to be a bit of a misnomer if it contains invoices rather than checks/cheques. Or am I just being dense?
neilmac (asker) Jun 14, 2022:
Apparently There are 3 types of "talonario":
Talonarios de facturas: Es un tipo de talonario que integra facturas. Estos talonarios son muy utilizados por las empresas, para la entrega de facturas por la venta de productos o servicios.
Talonarios de recibos: Es un tipo de talonario integrado por justificantes. Estos también son muy utilizados por las empresas, siendo su fin justificar el recibo de un dinero, bien o servicio.
Talonario de cheques: Es el tipo de talonario al que hacemos referencia en el artículo. Estos son entregados por el banco y se componen de cheques bancarios, asociados a una cuenta corriente.

contingency invoice book

Talonario can be any kind of book with removable numbered forms.
Note from asker:
This sounds great, but when I run a search for it, I get "No results found for "Contingency invoice book"...
On the other hand, a search for "Factura Talonario Contingencia" only gets a few hits, but it also has its own abbreviation FTC. I tend to think that when an expression gets so few results in an online search, that there must be a more common or widely used version somewhere out there.

if referring to the factura variety, then talonario often comes down a counterfoil receipt or stub-book.

Example sentence:
