Water from your network is ordered for and delivered to a property. Properties can be associated with one or more outlets through which water is supplied. A property has an OWNER who is authorised to view the water statement for the property. Other Property features depend on what Rubicon software packages you are using: - If you are using the [Billing](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BNC) modules, a property must also have an Invoice Contact. - If you are recording orders by [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NC/pages/1914765888](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NC/pages/1914765888), you can assign crop types to the property. - If you need to share water allocations and usages between properties, you can create [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NWNC/pages/2000978416](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/NWNC/pages/2000978416) to represent a collection of separate properties under a single ownership. # Layout of the Properties Module Screen ---
