		directly for a budget account in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/bgc/tfbgc1650m000" role="session">Budget Amounts (tfbgc1650m000)</GUIRef> session. The budget is logged by the audit trail, only
		after the budget is approved or frozen. The budget account can have budget
		amounts for each budget period and budget year. The number of budget periods
		that can be used is set in the budget policy and in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld" role="module">General Ledger</GUIRef>. Budget
		amounts are expressed in a budget currency and are released or allotted based
		on a percentage or the amount specified in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/bgc/tfbgc1650m000#tfbgc150.rlpr" role="groupbox">Release Proposal</GUIRef> field.</Paragraph>
