If multiple Terms match an income line, which Term will be applied?

A Contract always applies the Income 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 > 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 Territory condition for the US will be deemed more specific than a Territory condition for a Territory Group US & CA

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.
