Hmm, interesting idea. Haven’t tested it … I’ve just found an alternative:
After doing some more reading, it occurred to me to play around with the length of the matching string after reading this:
The string “Int Tran Fee” is 12 characters in length. As long as the supplier payment rule that it matches on is less than 12 characters, it seems to prefer matching on “Int Tran Fee” instead - which means that it defaults to being a bank charge (as I’d like it to do).
I will need to take note when it classifies it incorrectly in the future … and then edit the supplier payment rule to be something that is less than 12 characters long.
Minor rant / change request
The problem is that this ‘feature’ is completely hidden and undiscoverable by users within the app directly. It would be nice if this was exposed as an actual field (e.g. a ‘priority’ field on Bank Rules that is considered when more than one rule is a valid match).
If I had to match on something super short like “ABC”, the workaround I described above would not be suitable. I’m also unsure what would happen if the supplier payment rule was exactly 12 characters as well - which one does it choose in that scenario?
