Approval rules and how they are evaluated
Lesson 138 of 177 · 2 min
Read a rule set as the ENGINE reads it, not as a policy document. That is the whole skill. Each rule is a condition and an outcome: if the amount is over ten thousand and the business unit is X, route to these participants. The engine evaluates the rules in order and, depending on the rule set's configuration, may stop at the FIRST MATCH. FIRST-MATCH BEHAVIOUR IS WHAT SURPRISES PEOPLE. A rule set written as a policy — general case first, exceptions after — matches the general rule for everything and the exceptions never fire. The rules are all correct individually and the set is wrong, and it looks right in the editor because the exception rule is visibly there. So order from MOST SPECIFIC to LEAST, and read the set top to bottom asking "would this transaction have matched anything above?" for each rule. Priorities do the same job…
