How the AddScores Parameter Affects Primaries

By default, if an assignment rule has a primary employee, primary position, or primary organization set, and one of these passes, then it is assigned as the primary if that rule passes and is the highest scoring rule for that object. However, if the AddScores parameter is set to TRUE, then the primaries are ignored because the AddScores parameter overrides the primaries on the rule. The AddScores parameter assigns the highest-scoring employee, position, or organization across all the rules that pass for that object, and has more weight than the primaries.

For example, assume that you have two rules (Rule 1 and Rule 2) that pass for a specific Account Z. Each rule has two positions that qualify, with scores as shown in the following table.

Rule	Position A Score	Position B Score
Rule 1	100	120
Rule 2	50	20
Both rules combined	150	140

If the AddScores parameter is not applied (set to FALSE), then Position B is the highest-scoring position, with a score of 120, and becomes the primary. However, if AddScores is set to TRUE, then Position A, with a score of 150, is the highest-scoring position and becomes the primary.
