Creating processing rules

Cash transaction processing rules are user-defined. They are used to determine the category and, optionally, the source of the distribution information for each bank statement line. The processing rules define where distribution information is retrieved from when the category is Post to Global Ledger or Post to Cash Ledger. Custom groups are used to define the types of transactions that are selected to apply the rule against.
