--- Comment #17 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
I am not totally persuaded by the removal of the 'Total available' column as it
works well for libraries not using sub funds (we always recommend not to use
them, tbh) and it removes valuable information for them. 

> When searching the table and limiting rows you lose the values form the children
I am not sure how this column is different in this regard to the others that we
display the total amount for now?

Basically our main problem is the way that the fund hierarchy works. While we
can divide the funds in sub funds, we can spent on all levels. And the parent
fund has the full amount to spend (including what's in the sub funds), instead
of only the remaining amount (total - sub funds).

At the moment, when you look at the "Totel spend" on the budget page, it will
include the spent values of the sub funds. But on the acq hope page, it won't.
Same for ordered. I believe, as the columns appear to be the same, this is
quite confusing.

If the funds are collapsed, it might look like nothing was spent - even tho the
child funds might be almost out of means and the total shows an amount. 

I believe we should fix this the other direction - make it match the 'Total'
columns on the budgets page by adding the spent and ordered from the sub funds
to the parent funds.

If we do that, I imagine calculating the totals also should get easier as well?
