What is Match Order?

The match order is an attribute of a match rule that determines the order in which the match rules will be performed. You must define a match order for each match rule.

The defined match order determines in which order the application attempts matching an invoice with these rules. For example, the application first looks to match the invoice with rule 1. If a successful match occurs, the process is finished and the invoice is matched and ready for payment.

However, if rule 1 does not yield a successful match, a match attempt takes place using rule 2. This process continues automatically until a successful match occurs, or until all rules fail to yield a successful match.
