    Associate PO lines for donated or free items with a fund in Alma so that information about donations, gifts, or other free materials can viewed in the Funds Expenditure Subject Area in Analytics as POL's associated with funds may not have a cost of $0.00.

    Procedure:
    1. Create a separate Ledger and at least one allocated fund for the purpose of tracking donated items.
    2. Ensure that the fund rules are configured to allow for over-expenditure and over-encumbrance of the allocated fund.
    2. In POL's for donated items assign a value to the item, either the actual list price or any arbitrary value.
    3. Assign the POL to the gift fund and save the PO.
