provide all functions, reports, editing, interaction and viewing to allow a
 
user to view a "subset" of the books that are specific to any given fund.  In
 
essence, the books of a fiscal sponsoring org are proper superset of all the
 
books of its projects.
 

	
 
Thus, an individual project contributor wants to:
 

	
 
<a id="fund-view"></a>
 
- View the books for that project as an independent set, unencumbered by
 
  transactions for other projects.
 

	
 
- [[Generate reports|GeneratingReports]] for that project's financial
 
  data, and have those reports only include data specific to that project.
 

	
 
The non-profit administrators want to:
 

	
 
<a id="fundless-view"></a>
 
- View the entire set of books for the organization, treating all income,
 
  expenses, and assets as belonging to the entire org, and only seeing the
 
  differences treating the project funds merely as "temporarily restricted
 
  assets".
 

	
 
<a id="fundless-operation"></a>
 
- Be able to perform operations that span the entire books, such as
 
  reconciling bank accounts that are contain funds temporarily restricted for
 
  different projects.
