-=== Balance stop percent ===  +
-This prevents you from making purchases when only a specified amount of the fund remainsFor example, if you want the fund to stop purchases after 95% of the fund has been spent, then you would enter 95 in the field(e.g. If fund has $100 and balance stop percent is 95%, you would get the warning when you had $5 remaining). When the fund reaches its Balance Stop Percent, it will appear in red when you apply funds to copies. This can be adjusted as needed throughout your fiscal year. +
