Where Can Rules be Defined?

Rules can be defined at multiple levels in Account Reconciliation.

Levels at which rules can be defined include the following:

  • Application level

    These are called global rules. They are applicable to all profiles and reconciliations or a set of profiles and reconciliations in the application. For example, if you want a rule that applies to a set of formats, say all Account Analysis formats, then define it as a global rule with the required filter conditions.

    See Configuring Global Rules.

  • Format level

    Rules defined in a format are inherited by all profiles that are based on this format. They are called format rules.

    See Working With Format Rules.

  • Profile level

    Rules defined in a profile are applicable to that profile and are called profile rules.

    See Working With Profile Rules.

Order of Execution of Rules in Account Reconciliation

When rules are defined at multiple levels in your application, the order of execution is as follows:

  1. Global rules

    When multiple global rules are defined in the application, they are run in the order shown in Order in the Global Rules tab in System Settings.

  2. Profile rules
  3. Format rules
