How to: Add Multiple Conditions to a Business Rule (Master Data Services)

In Master Data Services, add multiple AND or OR conditions to a business rule when you want a more complex rule.

Note

If you create a business rule that uses the OR operator, consider creating a separate rule for each conditional statement that can be evaluated independently. You can then exclude rules as needed, providing more flexibility and easier troubleshooting.
