Two processing rules would match a bank statement item, what happens then?

[Edrilan_Berisha]

Question was raised by a colleague, what would happen if I have two rules in my system, processing rule with id 872 and two conditions, like company code and house bank account. 

And another one with id 873 with two conditions, like company code and external transaction.

Now we import a bank statement, and it contains an item which would fulfills both rule conditions. 

What happens now with the bank statement item?

If the action of both rules would be the same for instance Action Type is "Post to G/L" account and both would post to the G/L Account 89201112. Then randomly the first rule would be used and the posting will take place.

But if the action is different, one is for instance a posting to a G/L Account, the other wants to clear an invoice (Action Type "Clear in Sequence"). In such a case, nothing happens. You'll see a message in the application log, if you open the bank statement item, that no action was executed, as we have multiple rules that match this item.
