Improve financial forecasting of subscriptions
It would nice to have more functionality in terms of subscription financial forecasting.
Although we can roll over subscriptions with a blanket % increase, we would like to be able to input and overwrite this where we know price increases will differ.
In addition, where we know the increases for multi-year agreements, these can all be set in advance, allowing for more accurate encumbrance figures.

Can't believe there has been nothing added for this yet? It looks like consortial / network zone environments have something that might support this? https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Materials/050Alma_FAQs/Collaborative_Networks/E-Resource_Management#:~:text=the%20appropriate%20content%3A-,How%20does%20Alma%20handle%20pricing%20in%20multiyear%20licenses%3F,-It%20is%20possible Why not enable for institution zone?

Another area of functionality that would be very appreciated is how Alma deals with multi-year subscriptions. It should only encumber funds in the year the subscription needs to be renewed, not in every year that the subscription is open.
