The start must be before the end. An outside window cannot cover the full day. Model weekend or overnight behaviour with valid windows and, where needed, separate rules. ## Weekend orders Match Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday using the available weekday and time conditions, then use a Monday cutoff in the correct timezone. Test the boundary immediately before and after each cutoff. # Other common patterns

Scenario	Matching approach	Typical result
Express shipping	Shipping method contains the store's express service name	Short custom deadline
Staff-only rollout	Staff email, customer email, or approved domain	Default or controlled testing window
B2B agreement	B2B status plus company or company location	Account-specific deadline and message
Pickup order	Pickup order is true	Hide irrelevant shipping changes or shorten editing
Restricted product	Product title, tag, SKU, or collection matches	Block editing or remove selected features
Bundle order	Product or collection matches bundle items	Apply the required editing contract

# Validation checklist - Confirm the rule phase has the data used by each condition. - Use **All** when every condition must be true and **Any** when one is enough. - Confirm every time window has a timezone, a start before its end, and a non-empty outside period. - Test one order that should match and one that should not. - Check overlapping active rules because the shortest calculated deadline becomes primary. ## Related - [Editing Rules and Automations](https://docs.orderediting.com/en/articles/14121935-editing-rules-and-automations.md) - [Creating Editing Rules and Automations](https://docs.orderediting.com/en/articles/15320737-creating-editing-rules-and-automations.md)
