Hi all,
Hi Nicole,
I'm going to need some help with documenting the new acq module. There are a lot of new links and features that I'm not sure about.
First is regarding the different types of budgets - there are Root Budgets and Period Budgets ... and maybe more ;)
root budget & budget periods are the same thing. After some discussion with nicolas, we decided to use only "root budget" (and budget period strings can be considered as a bug) A root budget is the overall amount of money you plan to spend on a given period. You can have more than 1 root budget active, for example, a year budget for 2010, and some more money to spend during spring time. A root budget has : a start and end date, an amount, a status "active" and a status "locked". If "active", then a budget can be used during acquisition (even if today is out of start-end date range : it means you can order at the end of the year on next year budget, or at the beginning on last year budget). If "locked", sub-budgets can't be modified by librarians. HTH -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
