2.7.4.5.12.1. Routing Rules Priority

Routing Rules Priority
The order of the fields in the group determines the evaluation priority
If there is more than one Rule that applies to a given document, the one with the highest priority will take effect

For example

A Purchase Order Document Type is created with four Document Type Fields: Job, Vendor, Amount, Date Created

The Purchase Order Document Type also has two Routing Rules assigned

Purchase Order Rule 1

Job: 03-002

Vendor: 102

Vendor-Job 102|03-004

Purchase Order Rule 2

Vendor-Job: 102 | 03-002

Job: 03-004

In this example the Purchase Order Rule 1 and Purchase Rule Order Rule 2 contain 3 Routing Fields:

Job, Vendor, and Vendor-Job.

Assume these Routing Fields were ordered in the Document Type Routing Fields Window as follows:

Vendor-Job

Job

Vendor

Then a Document is entered using the Purchase Order Document Type containing

Job 03-002

Vendor 102

Amount 100

Date Created 7/11/2014

Rule 2 will be executed because it has a matching Routing Value with the highest priority Routing Field, Vendor-Job 102|03-002
