[Wactclc-alma] [EXTERNAL*]-RE: Funds and Ledgers not showing up in the list

[Stephanie Hunter]

That worked! I was able to see the funds I needed for to update the two purchase requests in my queue.

The only thing I'm not clear on is how the allocations for the funds work.  I allocated a portion of the $5000 in the physical purchases fund to each librarian so they could keep track of how much they'd spent from their portion of the money.  However, it doesn't look like they can choose to select their allocation, only the fund.

Once I process through the requests for the librarians, will their individual allocated amount go down, or am I not understanding how the allocations within the funds work?

This is all new to me so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephanie

I had that thought too, Elena.

But the ledgers are set to the institution, so that's not the issue.

Stephanie was on the right path about the new fiscal year not having started yet.

So, to make the ledgers and funds available prior to the start date, I edited the ledgers, by editing the rules at the bottom of the summary tab on the ledger editing screen. And set the following to 10 dyas:

Encumbrances prior to fiscal period (days)
Expenditures prior to fiscal period (days)

So that the ledgers/funds are available 10 days prior to start of fiscal year.

Hi Stephanie:

Maybe try making them available for campuses since when you're logged in you might be logged into Mount Vernon or Whidbey?

Although, I just tried that and I don't see them activated. Hmm...

Hi Wade,



Elena and I rolled over the ledgers and the PO Lines   from last year to this year after the meeting we had with you.  Things seemed to go okay.



We also created the new ledgers and funds and allocations for next year since our fund structure is changing.  And I think that was done correctly.



However, the funds that we can choose from, for like when a purchase request is made, is not displaying for the 2021-2022 school year.  Do we have to wait until the end of June to see them show up in the list to choose from, when the actual fiscal year starts?  Or should we be able to see them now, and something didn't work right when Elena and I readjusted our funds and ledgers structure?



Thanks for your help with this.  I have 2 purchase requests sitting in the queue to order in July at the beginning of the next fiscal year, and I wanted to attach the right fund to it, but it doesn't show up so wanted to make sure everything was done correctly.



Thanks,

Stephanie
