I will let Jonathan find the good way to do it. (Constraint or not at the
database level.)

The question is : what feature do we want as a library?

On one hand, if a library duplicates their budgets/funds, I can't see why they
should rename them, for sure

On the other hand, if a libray needs to duplicates their budgets/funds, to me,
it means that they might have a lot of them. At this point, I can see why they
want Koha to tell them that they already created a fund with the same name/code
when they will create the funds in the first place...

But, like you said, there is a conflict with this feature (duplicate budget and
fund feature)  http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6943
(jonathan just tested it)

So to me, there are 2 options :

* we give up this feature. libraries will be able to create as many fund with
the same code/name as they want (which is not going to be fun when they will
have to order a new book and choose between the same fund names in the fund
list or follow what amouts are ordered/spent/available for each funds on the
acquisition home page... ;^)

* we change the old funds code/name during the duplication process. The old
fund could be pre or post-fixed by something chose when duplicating the
budget/funds. But I'm not sure of the impact of this... At the same time, all
the budgets will be inactive once they have been duplicated so maybe we dont
care...

So Katrin, what do you think?
