General exclude rule

Example

This example shows a general exclude rule that prevents users from combining region EMEA with project P01 - P10:

Rule Line Rule Type From Ledger Account To Ledger Account From Cost Center To Cost Center From Project To Project From Region To Region
A 1 Exclude   ZZZZZ   ZZZZ P01 P10   EMEA
B 1 Include 45000 46000 100 110   ZZZZ   ZZZZ
C 1 Exclude 50000 51000 100 200   ZZZZ   ZZZZ

If users specify ledger account 45000, cost center 100, project P05, and then tab to the next field, no error message will be displayed. If you leave From Region empty and try to tab to the next field, LN will display an error message. Nevertheless, users will be able to specify EMEA as To Region.

If users specify ledger account 50000 and cost center 200, LN will display an error message. To prevent error messages, specify ledger account 50000, cost center 300, project P01, and region LATAM.
