Mark a bill as paid manually

When you paid in online banking outside Payfriend, mark the bill as paid so status and bookkeeping stay consistent.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

Sometimes you pay in online banking (or the supplier pulls automatically) without starting payment in Payfriend. Still update the bill: Mark as paid so it doesn’t sit overdue and so you can match the bank item.

Before you start

  • Bill exists under Bills

  • Payment is completed (or you know it is)

  • Permission to change status / book

Steps

1. Open the bill

2. Choose “Mark as paid” (or equivalent)

Enter payment date and amount if partial payment is supported.

3. Confirm booking

Depending on setup, payment posts or waits for bank match.

4. Match the bank transaction

When it appears under Bank, confirm the match if it doesn’t happen automatically.

Check that it worked

  • Bill status is paid / partially paid

  • It’s no longer in the “to pay” queue

  • Bank item can match without double payment
