Acquisition-Funds

["Alan.Mask" <Alan.Mask@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

We are using Millennium Acquisitions for the first time.  I am setting
up our funds but am having a problem designing the structure of the
accounts and the hierarchy.  

 

My problem is how to track a single dollar amount for each department,
but the allocation can be used for books and/or audiovisuals.  There is
no set amount.  They receive one sum for books and audiovisuals.   

 

In my head it looks like this:

 

Library budget

            Department1    

                        Books

                        Audiovisuals

            Department2

                        Books

                        Audiovisuals

 

What I cannot figure out is how to report the bottom line library budget
spending while at the same time tracking departmental spending and books
and audiovisuals spending.  Once I input the total library budget amount
for books and for audiovisuals, if I create separate funds for
departments and input their allocation, that amount gets added to the
overall budget.  I cannot figure out a way around this.

 

Thanks,

 

Alan
