Assignment Rule Sequencing

You specify a sequence number in assignment rules to determine the order in which you want them processed. This enables you to set up multiple assignment rules for the same period of time, in which you can have different criteria for transaction selection.

Specifying a sequence number for your assignment rules gives you the flexibility to set up assignment rules based on your business practices. For example, you might want to first process an assignment rule that’s set up for transactions associated with a particular task, and then process an assignment rule that’s set up for transactions associated with an expenditure type.
