This quick guide explains how to perform a sanctions list check for a customer in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The structure is fundamentally identical for all supported entities (e.g., vendor, contact, employee) and can be applied according to this quick guide.

Note:To ensure optimal sanctions list checking, we recommend configuring the check intervals for each entity (e.g., customer) in the Sanction Screen Setup and using the automated screening.
