Rule Definition Table
An assignment rule associates rows in a group of transaction tables with a behavior. An assignment rule:
- is associated with one or more rows in a behavior table (the associations can be done interactively using the Profitability Management GUI, or can be imported from a file that specifies the associations).
- specifies which rows in a transaction table group to include in the calculation.
- specifies what quantity to include in the calculation.
A rule definition table contains the following columns, and conforms to the following rules:
- The columns must have the length shown.
- The order of the columns is arbitrary (you identify them during import)
- The column name is arbitrary (but, if you use these names, they are mapped automatically during import)

Notes:
- If any column in a row is blank, it is an error and the row is not imported.
- If an assignment rule with the name already exists, it is an error and the row is not imported.
- If the table group name is not found, it is an error and the row is not imported.
