Pay supplier bills from Payfriend, one at a time or several in bulk. There are two rails:
Automatic Payment (Overførselsservice): Danish DKK to reg. + account. No MitID. Queue it. See Overførselsservice
Open Banking: IBAN, foreign currency and payment slips. You approve in the bank with MitID
When both are possible, Payfriend suggests Automatic Payment. You can switch at confirm.
Before you start
Bank connected
Accounting connected
Bill has landed (inbox, e-Boks, upload) with payment details (payment slip, account, IBAN)
Permission to approve/pay in Payfriend
Steps
1. Open Bills / Payables
Go to Bills (payables) in the sidebar. Find bills awaiting approval or payment.
2. Review the bill
Check supplier, amount, due date, and payment details. Fix fields if AI misread something. Approve if you use an approval flow.
3. Pay one bill
Choose Pay.
Automatic Payment: confirm From, To and The money is taken. Add to queue. No MitID. Status Queued until the file is sent on weekdays at 13:00. Withdraw until then. The Payment queue tab shows what is already queued.
Open Banking: confirm amount and account. You are sent to the bank (MitID). The money leaves only after the bank has approved.
4. Or pay several (bulk)
Select several. Pay via Automatic Payment puts DKK with Danish reg. + account in one file. IBAN and foreign currency are skipped and paid one by one via Open Banking.
5. Booking
When payment completes, it is booked in the same flow so you don’t leave “paid in bank, not booked” leftovers.
Check that it worked
Automatic Payment: Queued or Sent, then a debit on the statement
Open Banking: status paid / completed after the bank approves
Bank transaction matches (or is in reconciliation)
Posting exists in the accounting system (after sync)
