Oracle Fusion Intercompany Balancing uses a specific hierarchy to find the most applicable rule for a given transaction. The system always evaluates rules from the most specific to the most general level to ensure the most precise balancing treatment is applied. The most specific rule is at the Primary Balancing Segment Value (BSV) level, which defines balancing for transactions between two specific BSVs. If no rule is found at this level, the system then checks for a rule at the Legal Entity level, followed by the Ledger level, and finally, the most general Chart of Accounts level.

A. Ledger-level rule: This rule is evaluated only after the system fails to find a matching Primary Balancing Segment or Legal Entity level rule.

B. Legal entity-level rule: This rule is less specific than the Primary Balancing Segment rule and is only considered if a BSV-level rule does not exist.

C. Chart of accounts rule: This is the most general rule and is used as a last resort when no other more specific rules apply.
