Pay bills

Approve and pay supplier bills one-by-one or in bulk via Open Banking — booked in the same flow, always with bank approval.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

Pay supplier bills from Payfriend — one at a time or several in bulk. Payment goes through your own bank with SCA approval; booking follows in the same flow so you don’t type twice.

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. Confirm amount and account. You’re sent to bank approval (MitID / bank app). Payment completes only after the bank approves.

4. Or pay several (bulk)

Select multiple bills and use bulk pay. You typically approve once in the bank. Status updates per bill.

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

  • Bill status is paid / completed

  • Bank transaction matches (or is in reconciliation)

  • Posting exists in the accounting system (after sync)
