Oh yes I agree with the comments from @Jenn, this sort of customization would be incredibly helpful with the checkout summary printouts as well...and just that across the board the system shouldn't default to printing out PII so freely.

This would be amazing for so many of our libraries. These two processes are important for acquisitions staff to pay attention to in theory, but in reality they wind up just being a weird barrier for most of the staff working with the system. Acquisitions librarian are not accountants and the true accounting never takes place in Sierra anyway (that happens over in MUNIS or whatever system the municipality may be using to manage the real money). So something like the fund activity report often turns into that thing you only think about when you get an error message preventing you from paying invoices and just does not serve it's intended purpose.
It should still ultimately exist in the name of trying to encourage proper accounting practices if nothing else. But automating this would provide a nice option for those libraries where truly these features are nothing but an unwanted hassle.

This is data that exists in the system, on the SQL side of things nearly any date in Sierra is actually a full timestamp. That extra level of detail just needs to be more readily exposed in the tools that most staff have access to, so making timestamps exportable from Create Lists really feels like an easy win.

We've finally had one of our libraries run into this issue with Ingram and in such a way that it will almost certainly continue to happen with some frequency thanks to the current account setup. This is going to be a significant barrier to paying invoices in a timely fashion.

I've been communicating with III around this as we had not encountered this problem ourselves and I was curious. This limit was never listed in the customer facing documentation but there was at least an internal note about it for III staff.
Clearly it's a real limit impacting multiple libraries, but I can also confirm our heaviest acquisitions user doesn't seem to impacted and loads 100+ records in a day at least once a month.

Idea is pretty closely related to https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951745-ils-sierra/suggestions/47428049, which made it to the IUG ballot for 6.7 before expiring. Definitely worth another shot, particularly given the Vega implecations.

Yes these are the individual entries that make up the posting registers and payment history files such as encumbrances and expenditures being applied to particular funds.

Oh yeah template or assign a particular record for that purpose...whatever's easiest.
