[Evergreen-acq] Purchases and funding sources

[Tiffany Little]

Good morning everyone,

I'm trying to work out a thought, and I can't get my head around it. Maybe
someone else has some insight.

Say that a library sets up funding sources like State money, Donations,
Grant money. Then they have funds like BranchA-Adult, BranchA-YA, etc.
Multiple funding sources may allocate to one fund.

Can I track an individual purchase/item back to the originating funding
source via a report? I can't think if you could do this--there's no clear
line, right? Since multiple funding sources contributed to one fund, it's
just a muddle of money? If you wanted to track what you bought with grant
money, you'd have to do a fund like Grant-BranchA-Adult?

Is there some creative way of being able to do this that I'm not thinking
of?
