Create an assignment rule

Create an assignment rule on the Assignment rule page. Filter for credit type transactions and information from the description of the bank transaction that indicates the customer.

After you set up your assignment rule, select Preview to preview the results.

  1. Go to Cash Management > Setup > Reconciliation rules and select Add (circle) next to Assignment rules.

  2. In the Assign to section, select the Customer you want to create the assignment rule for.

  3. Select the Bank that receives the payment from the customer.

    If you select a single bank account, the assignment rule will only run for that selected account. You can also select All bank accounts to apply this assignment rule to all bank accounts.

  4. Enter an ID and Name.

    Learn best practices for Name and ID creation.

  5. Enter an optional Description.

    This description is to describe and identify the assignment rule itself.

  6. The status defaults to Active.

  7. In the Filter transactions by section, there are two defaulted filters:

    • One filter is to target only credits to the account. You’re only targeting credits because they represent customer payments.

      • Data source: Bank transactions
      • Field: Transaction type
      • Operator: Equals
      • Value: Credit
    • The second filter is where you enter the description from the bank transaction.

      • Data source: Bank transactions
      • Field: Description
      • Operator: Contains
      • Value: Enter the description to identify the customer as it appears on bank transactions. (If you select Equals as the Operator, this field is case sensitive.)
  8. Set any other filters that you might need.

  9. Select Preview to view which transactions are affected by the assignment rule.

    Based on the results, make any necessary changes and then select Preview again.

  10. Select Save.

The assignment rule runs on all bank deposits for the selected bank account that are not yet matched for reconciliation.
