The automatic updating of the fields -number of dispositions- and -total dispositions- is automatically activated -on exit- of the cursor from the amount field of each single disposition.

They are bank transfers that are processed intraday by the Bank and have the following limitations: 1. the flows must contain only 1 bank transfer; 2. the payment method must be compulsorily 'TRA' i.e. 'SEPA transfer with outcome to the sender' (usually the sepa flows are of the 'TRF' type or 'Sepa transfer without outcome to the sender'); 3. some reasons (e.g. 'SALA' Salary Payment) may not be compatible at interbank level with the urgent settlement request; 4. for urgent transfers, the indication of the origin of the recipient BIC code is recommended (field present in the form but not usually mandatory); 5. for urgent transfers, the management of the case of a Country Code other than IT is left to bilateral agreements. We specify that higher fees may be applied to urgent transfers by your Bank. Urgent transfers are processed by the Bank intraday (approximately every 2 hours) and have shorter cut-off times (they may vary from bank to bank), usually the flows must be sent by 1.00 pm. All flows arranged by customers after the cut-off time are considered by the Bank as "received" on the following business day.
