<h1>Fund Administration</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span style="background-color: #ffe599">TIP: Funds may be ignored if you are setting your Global System Preferences for 'Acquisitions' to
|
|
"simple" acquisitions: the funds are only useful when using "normal"
|
|
acquisitions.</span><strong><br />

<h2>Funds & Budgets<br />
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Funds" are accounts that you establish to track your
|
|
expenditures for library materials. They may be used for any kind of
|
|
material and should match the lines in your materials budget. For
|
|
instance, if your library establishes a budget line for books, another
|
|
for audiovisual materials, a third line for magazines, and a fourth
|
|
budget line for electronic databases, then you would have four funds.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
<span style="background-color: #ffe599">TIP: The first time you access this page, you will be asked to add your
|
|
first fund -- thereafter you will have the option of editing and
|
|
deleting funds.</span>

<li style="color: #990000">IMPORTANT: Your dates will not save correctly unless you have set your date
|
|
format ('dateformat') in the Global System Preferences under 'I18N/L10N' -- DO
|
|
THIS BEFORE setting budgets</li>
|
|
<li>Once budgets have been added you can see/search them all by clicking 'Show all budgets' under the list of funds</li>
|
|
<li>Budget information will also be accessible via the 'Acquisitions' module<br />
|
|
</li>
|

From this module you can easily see what has been spent from each budget
