Resource allocation systems and bulk licensing
The node is linked to a resource allocation system (if multiple types of account need to be deducted for orders/flow at a location) or a resource allocation account type (if only one type of account needs to be deducted). Rules for deduction of bulk accounting accounts (such as order/use-debit) would be defined in the resource allocation system (at the system, account type or account level). The default behaviour of accounts is:
- Use-debit accounts linked to the bulk licening node are deducted for the flow at the node;
- Order-debit accounts linked to the bulk licensing node are deducted for the ‘committed’ order at the node; and
- Order-debit accounts are refunded the shortfall if a time-step’s flow does not match the order due in that time-step at the node.
Water users

The water user accounts that are associated with the bulk licensing node can be viewed either in:
- The node's feature editor (shown on the left of Figure 1). Toggle the Accounts Enabled switch to ON to enable this association. The Account Distribution table shows all accounts that are associated with the node.
- The Resource Assessment Explorer, in the Accounts tab (shown on the top right side of Figure 1) or under the actual account in the Associated Account Host section (on the bottom right of Figure 1)
In this case, Account 2 is associated with Bulk Licensing Node 7.

as the associated account host.

| Note: The priority and share for each account can only be edited while the Accounts Enabled switch is ON. |
The account usage priorities are set up in a similar manner as at a water user node. The account (or accounts) with the lowest value assigned to Priority will be used first and will continue to be used until there is no balance remaining. The process is repeated for each priority level in order of increasing priority level until there is no remaining balance in any account. In the case of two or more accounts having the same priority, usage is distributed in proportion to the share value of each account to the total share value at each priority level.

Specifying debiting locations
A bulk access licensing system's accounts can be debited at more than one location. These locations are specified by connecting one of the bulk licensing node's lateral link connectors to the lateral link connector on a gauge node.
General information on setting up a resource assessment system is covered here. Each bulk access licensing system requires its own secondary resource assessment system. The principal difference between primary and secondary systems is that in the latter, water is sourced from from one or more accounts held in another resource assessment system. To configure this, specify a function under Other Resources that will return the sum of balances of the bulk access licensing system's accounts.
