But the translation wasn't referring to money at all but to information and in this case, Holschuld (literally: "fetch obligation") means that you have to actively gather (or "fetch") the information you need to do a particular job, e.g. from colleagues or superiors. It's down to you to seek out the data.
Thus, conversely, Bringschuld ("bring obligation") describes the idea that you automatically receive the information required to do a particular job, i.e. you don't have to go in search of it or to ask for it. It should be sent to you as a matter of form.
You can tell that these terms are a very German concept by searching for them on Wikipedia. They are there, but only in German and not in any other language. That's because they are unique to the German way of thinking. In no other country has anyone else thought it necessary to invent a word to describe such concepts.
Here's a nice little thought to end with. The quote in the picture loosely translates as "Knowledge is not something that is owed to you. Knowledge is something you must seek out yourself".
