Adding Several Dependent History Criteria to a Rule

Multiple variable and inter-dependent factors influence whether a transaction matches a rule. History Criteria with several dependent criteria can be used to take this into account and manage relevant risks adequately.

Create history criteria for declined transactions in a given set of countries over a defined amount of money.

The History Criteria Declined US Embargo $1000 analyzes pending alerts for declined events placed in a country under US embargo/sanction for a transaction amount over USD1000.

You need to create a hot list listing the codes of US-embargoed countries to use for this rule.

Create a rule as explained in Creating rules with history criteria with "Declined US Embargo $1000" as the rule name and with the following criteria:

1. Click Add in the Create Rule step of the Create Rule and Action Wizard.

2. From the Criteria list menu, select NOT and RESPONSE_CODE and =; enter 00 in the input field for that list menu.

Transaction amount over USD1000

1. Click Add to obtain another set of criteria list menus.

2. From this Criteria list menu, select IS and AMT_CH_BILL and >; enter 1000 in the input field for that list menu.
