Hi all, 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 ;) What's the difference? Why would I want one over the other? Also there was a link I think should be on the Admin page and so I put a bug report in for that: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3839 I can make the change if others agree with me.

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
Ahh - can you confirm for me which URL is the right one and which one we don't want? cgi-bin/koha/admin/aqbudgets.pl cgi-bin/koha/admin/aqbudgetperiods.pl Nicole On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 11:27 AM, Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com> wrote:

Ah - okay - so that fact that I added links to both to the Admin page (since one was missing) is a-ok -- good :) On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 11:57 AM, Paul Poulain <paul.poulain@biblibre.com> wrote:
