      <Paragraph>The overall project is
		subdivided into individual elements or activities, and each element or activity
		is separately budgeted, based on specific, detailed requirements. The
		individual results are summarized to obtain the project total.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>A bottom-up budget makes
		a budget for each element or activity in the work breakdown structure, and
		summarizes these budgets to provide a total project cost budget. The budget
		amounts are entered for each activity or element and aggregated to the top or a
		higher level node of the activity or element structure. This top amount is the
		aggregated budget amount. To handle surcharges on top of the budget, enter the
		surcharges for each cost object on project level.</Paragraph>

            <ListItem>A purchase budget can
			 be linked to the bottom-up budget.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>If the budget status
			 is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/domains/ptc.stat#definite" role="option">Final</GUIRef>, you can make adjustments for updates. In LN, adjustments are a
			 modification to a frozen bottom-up budget. The modification will only increase
			 or decrease the budget, though for extensions the contract also changes. For
			 more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tp/onlinemanual/000092" role="manual">To use extensions</Link>.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>The budget cost
			 analysis is an analysis of the bottom-up budget. You can run several cost
			 analyses for the same budget. Each budget analysis is stored with a project
			 code and budget cost-analysis code to compare the budgets. The analysis is a
			 snapshot at a certain moment in time, which takes all surcharges into account
			 and calculates the frequencies for an element budget.</ListItem>
