If multiple Terms match a sales line, which Term will be applied?

A Contract always applies the Sales Term that is deemed the most specific, regardless of the term creation order. Specificity is determined by three sequential rules:


Rule 1: Condition Hierarchy

The system prioritises the term with a condition highest in the following left-to-right hierarchy:

Cat Type > Cat Group > Territory > Channel > Configuration > Price Category > Source


Rule 2: Direct Condition Priority

If terms are tied by Rule 1, the term using a direct condition is prioritised over a Contract Term Group.

Example: A condition for "Premium Stream" is more specific than a condition for a "Streaming Group."


Rule 3: Subsequent Condition Check

If terms remain tied after Rules 1 and 2 (equally high and same condition type), Curve evaluates the first following condition in the hierarchy (Rule 1) to determine the most specific Term.


Understanding the logic behind these rules is key to ensuring the correct rate is applied to each revenue line during distribution. We provide more information about this logic in this article:
