Tips

usage
Bureaucratic / written register. here means 'to allot from a larger pool' (as in 拨款 bō-kuǎn 'allocate funds'); 拨用 specifically pairs that allotment with 'to be used for', so it implies 'allocated AND being put to use'. Compare 调用 (diào-yòng, to redirect for use) which has no allocation step.
