10001 | 001 | 002 |  |  | 01 | Yes (Not excluded). Rule 01 prescribes that if dimension 4 is 004, the transaction is not allowed. However, dimension 4 is always zero, and therefore allowed.
10001 | AAA | 002 |  |  | 02 | Yes. Rule 02 applies to specific dimension 4 values (not including an empty value) and ledger account 10001 does not have a dimension 4.
