[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquisitions Funds question

Mon Jan 4 18:31:07 EST 2016

Christine,

Thanks for the info. We have already been using the fund interface rather than funding sources, so it sounds like that's a good thing.

Hi Bill & Janet

I just wanted to point out a related bug -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1175293

When trying to allocate money to funds from the funding sources interface --> Inactive funds are displayed in the drop down menu.

There are currently two problems with this drop down menu:
1. The year is not displayed beside the fund code in brackets.
2. Funds that have been set to Active = FALSE appear in this menu.

These two problems mean that after funds have been propagated for a new fiscal year the user cannot distinguish between funds from the previous and current fiscal years as the same codes are used. For example, a library that has three fiscal years in Evergreen will have the code AF display three times in this drop down menu for their Adult Fiction funds.

As Janet mentioned,

"As time goes by, I see a huge, unmanageable list if we aren't able to fix this soon."

Currently as a workaround, we recommend using the fund interface to allocate money to funds (instead of the funding sources interface).

Cheers,
Christine

Wherever there is the option to look at the list of funds (like in a purchase order), all of the 2014 funds and all of the 2015 funds show up - not necessarily in any discernable order. Since we can't roll over any of the monies to the new year we have been creating new funding sources, but the list is getting to be too long.  Does anyone know how to filter or hide the old funds so they don't show up as options anymore?  If need be, we could even delete the 2014 funds and just keep the 2015 funds as needed.  As time goes by, I see a huge, unmanageable list if we aren't able to fix this soon.

> That particular test of settings-tester.pl is outdated and should either be updated or removed.  You can discover whether you have libdbd-pgsql installed on your system with the command 'dpkg -l | grep libdbd-pgsql'.  On my 14.04 system, that returns the following line:
>
> ii  libdbd-pgsql:amd64                                0.9.0-2ubuntu2                       amd64        PostgreSQL database server driver for libdbi
>
> That test was written at a time when it was recommended to install PostgreSQL from source, so it's only checking /usr/local/lib/dbd for the shared object file.  On a 64-bit 14.04 system, it's in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbd/ instead, but settings-testing.pl doesn't know that.
