Description Katrin Fischer 2014-09-19 14:38:55 UTC
The Lock budget option is described in the help as: 
Locking a budget means that Funds will not be able to be modified by librarians

I think this only partially works. What works:

- If the budget is locked, you can't add a new fund to the budget using the option in the toolbar. It's greyed out.
- It does seem to lock the entries on the acq planning page

But:
- You can still change and delete funds.
- You can add new child funds.

I think the feature should probably look the budget structure and amounts from getting changed, but that's mostly a guess :)

Still valid in master.

If a budget is locked

-  It is not possible to add funds (the option is no longer greyed out, but it leads to an error message)
-  It is not possible to add subfunds to existing funds (the option is not greyed out but leads to error messsage)

-  It is possible to edit the budget
-  It is possible to delete the budget (if there are no funds)
-  It is possible to edit existing funds
-  It is possible to delete existing funds

I will change the documentation for now, but maybe this feature should be revised?
I'm not sure what it was supposed to be since it seems it never worked like we thought...

It is also not possible to plan, like you said in the first comment. However, the message is weird: "not owned". It should say "locked" maybe?

I changed the definition in the manual

Maybe it will clear up the confusion...
