When performing a series of operations in the System, reference data are consulted to select a specific record (specific rule) for use in calculations. In some directories (for example, “Price Lists” or “User Scenarios”), the concept of priority is used, allowing the user to set the order in which records are checked for applicability in calculations.
The record with the lowest priority value is considered first; if it does not meet the calculation conditions, the next record is checked, and so on, until a record (rule) meets the calculation condition.
The lower the priority value, the higher the priority. The highest priority is assigned to rules with a value of "0". If multiple records have the same priority value, the record that appears first in the database will be checked first in calculations.
When setting priorities, the principle of “from specific to general” should be followed. The less detailed a rule is, the more likely it is to be applied and chosen for a particular case. Therefore, a rule with greater detail should be assigned a higher priority.
