Order records – using multiple funds for a single copy order

Posted in Acquisitions, Mill Tips, Millennium Client by SusanF

To split the cost between two or more funds on one order record, please follow these steps:

– Create or edit an exsisting order record.
– When you are prompted to enter the location, fund, and copies in the multi-field editor, enter the location for the copy.
– Enter the first fund in the Fund column.
In the Copy# column, enter a percent sign (%) followed by the percentage of the order that should be attributed to the fund indicated for the row. (Note that you can enter up to three decimal places, e.g., E.250.) When you enter a percentage, Millennium Acquisitions automatically creates a new line for the remaining fund allocation. In the new line, the location is already filled in and cannot be edited.
– In the second line in the Fund column, enter the next fund to which the single copy should be allocated.
– In the second line in the #Copies column, Millennium Acquisitions automatically fills in the percent that would make the copy 100% paid.
– To accept the allocation entered, press Enter.

To continue splitting the single copy amount among funds, enter the percentage of the total cost which should be allocated to the second fund. If the percentage you enter, combined with the other percentages for the copy does not add up to 100%, Millennium Acquisitions adds another row. Continue adding funds and rows until you have allocated 100%.

Only after you have allocated 100% does the focus jump to the buttons below. (Millennium Acquisitions does not automatically create a new row.)

When you are finished, choose OK to return to the record. The funds and percentages you entered will be listed in a variable-length FUNDS field below the fixed field data.
