Use cases for creating rules

This topic outlines various use cases for creating rules, including matching default behaviors, reflecting specific regional requirements, and handling invoice reversals.

This section lists common use cases for creating rules. For available objects and fields for creating the rules, see Objects and fields for creating rules .

Use case 1: By default, the country of the sold-to contact on the billing document is used to determine the business region. Create a rule that matches this default behavior for invoices, shown below. You can create the same rule for the credit memo and debit memo.
