Auto-Rules and Learning

Auto-rules are vendor-to-account mappings that help Sumext code future documents consistently.

How rules are created

When you approve or sync a document, Sumext records the vendor, ledger account, tax type, and result. Repeated patterns become reusable rules.

Learn from History

Go to Settings > Auto-Rules and click Learn from History.

Sumext scans previously approved and synced documents, then builds vendor-to-account mappings from those patterns.

This is useful when you have already processed documents and want to formalise rules in bulk.

Review low-usage rules

Rules with only one or two uses may be one-off classifications. Review or delete weak rules so Sumext can relearn cleanly.
