[Koha-devel] Question RE: Purpose of 'Actual Cost' field in Acquisitions

[Nicole Engard]

Okay I did a test.

Josh,

The actual cost does get subtracted from the budget, but my problem is
that the invoice shows the budgeted amount.  If I'm printing receipts
for my record they're showing the wrong amount.  I have attached
images in the order they show up during the process.
