AND (Conjunction) 

You use the AND (conjunction) operator when both of your logical statements must be true for the combined statement to be true.

1.

Los Angeles is a city in California AND (2 + 2 = 4) (TRUE)

2.

(2 + 2 = 4) AND (10 < 6) (FALSE)

3.

(10 < 6) AND (2 + 2 = 4) (FALSE)

4.

(2 + 3 = 4) AND (10 < 6) (FALSE)

The following table is the truth table for the AND (conjunction) operator.

In the FI-SL application component, you use the AND (conjunction) operator when you want the system to check that both statements are true before using the data.

The following graphic uses a truth table for the AND (conjunction) operator to determine if a transaction posts to a ledger.

If the transaction is for account 500000 and cost center 150, then the combined statement is TRUE and the data is posted to the ledger. If the transaction is not for account 500000 or if it is not for cost center 150, then the combined statement is FALSE and the data is not posted to the ledger.
