Yes, I realise that it wouldn't be the normal usage of "lump sum", but it could just be a literal translation - certainly the term in the question doesn't seem to be used very often, as I have only managed to find one reference to it, so it could be specific to one company only, and they could be using it incorrectly anyway! Perhaps the only way to be sure would be to contact the client directly for more information.

Month-end

The only reference I have managed to find is in the reference quoted below (scroll down to entry 94). It seems as though the term is used to refer to the practice of calculating a batch of insurance premiums all together at the end of the month, rather than doing them one by one through the month.

How about "batch summation"?
Example sentence:

月末集中だんご計上代理店に「お願いは何度もしてるんですが、一向に改善し てくれません」って、平然と、営業会議でいいわけする○カ。
