--- Comment #1 from Barbara Johnson <barbara.johnson at bedfordtx.gov> ---
I would love to have this functionality!  Our library is in the same situation
as Rhonda’s where we need to be able know the exact status of how much we’ve
spent and how much is outstanding in our current fiscal year which goes through
the end of September - but we also want to start pre-ordering materials for the
next fiscal year. 

We’ve handled this in two ways over the years.  One is to stop ordering
anything that we aren’t sure will fill before the end of the current fiscal and
wait to order it until the next fiscal year.  That means we don’t get the
newest materials on time and patrons are not happy about that.  The other
method is to go ahead and just keeping ordering but attempt to track how much
of what is encumbered will actually fill during the current year in an Excel
spreadsheet.  This takes way too much time and is error prone.

So +1 for this bug.
