[Koha] Budgets in 3.2 Acquisitions

[Nicole Engard]

This is starting to sound like a problem with no solution ... we all
have a different idea of what it should be.  My immediate problem is
that it's call a 'budget period' and a 'root budget' throughout Koha
now - making it very confusing.

I like Source Budget,  Budget Cycle and Budget Period - does anyone
else like one or more of these three?

In my institution, we'll use these as the funds that our parent institution has on file for us, so when we signal to Accounts Payable to cut a check, we'll reference the source budget.  All the sub-budgeting will be used purely in-house to help us allocate funds, keep statistics, etc.
