Documentation

Definition

Resolution factor that helps a single rule to be picked up.

Hence a payment batching rule should be defined with a meaningful priority.

Use

When a payment is batched, the priority factor helps identify a single rule incase multiple rules are evaluated for a given payment.

Dependencies

The priority makes sense when defined along with a payment batching rule.

Example

For a given payment, three rules are evaluated:

Rule Id                Priority

Medium amount            1

Urgent payments            0

Vendor X payments        2

In this case the payment will be assigned the rule 'Urgent payments' since it has the highest priority.
