Urgent Payment

# Urgent Payment Extension for Business Central

## Simplify Urgent SEPA Payments with One Click

**Urgent Payment** is a Business Central extension that enables finance teams to mark vendor payments as urgent directly from the Payment Method setup—no complex workflows, no manual XML editing, just a simple checkbox.

## 🎯 Business Challenge

When your business needs to expedite critical vendor payments through SEPA, manually adjusting payment priority requires technical knowledge and risks errors. Finance teams need a simple, reliable way to ensure urgent payments are processed with high priority by their bank.

---

## ✨ The Solution

Urgent Payment adds a single **"Urgent Payment"** checkbox to your Payment Method records. When enabled, the extension automatically sets the SEPA instruction priority to **HIGH** in your payment export files, ensuring banks process these payments with elevated priority.
