--- Comment #1 from Melia Meggs <melia at bywatersolutions.com> ---
I just want to add a little more info to this bug report.  One of our libraries
ran into the following problem.

When you go through acquisitions, and after you have staged records, there is a
choice to import staged records.  Going through this process, you have to
choose the budget and then later choose the fund from a dropdown menu.  The
dropdown menu brings up last year's budget at the top and this year's budget at
the bottom.  This particular library names the budgets/funds exactly the same
thing every year, so she was choosing last year's deactivated budget from the
top of the list when she actually meant to choose this year's budget.

After she had completed the import, she checked the fund for this year's
budget, found nothing ordered today, and thought that Koha was losing the data
she had just entered when in fact it was just under last year's budget/fund
with the same name.

As Albert mentioned, this was discussed on bug 7303, and it looks like the
conclusion was that it's ok to reuse budget and fund names from year to year. 
But I'm wondering if Koha should allow you to choose a deactivated budget/fund
from the dropdown menu.  If only the active budgets were shown, then I don't
think this librarian would have gotten these budgets and funds confused, even
with the identical names.  Is this a bug?
