Scan and upload documents

Photograph a receipt on your phone, or upload files on desktop — AI reads amount, VAT, and supplier.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

When a document doesn’t arrive automatically via email or e-Boks, you can scan with your phone or upload files from your computer. Payfriend reads the fields so you don’t type them.

Before you start

  • Signed in to Payfriend (browser or home-screen app)

  • File is readable (sharp photo, not too dark; PDF preferred when you have it)

  • Knowing whether it’s a receipt or a supplier invoice (the system helps classify)

Steps — mobile (scan)

1. Open Payfriend on your phone

Use the installed PWA or browser. See Is there an app?.

2. Choose scan / camera

Find scan or add document (often from Documents, Inbox, or a + button).

3. Take the photo

Good light, full document in frame, avoid shadows. Capture multiple pages if needed.

4. Confirm and save

AI suggests amount, VAT, date, and supplier. Fix what’s wrong and save.

5. Continue the flow

The document enters your normal flow — booking, bank match, or bill payment.

Steps — desktop (upload)

1. Go to Documents, Inbox, or Bills

2. Upload or drag-and-drop

Supported formats are typically PDF, JPG, and PNG. Bulk upload is often available.

3. Fix AI suggestions and save

4. Continue booking / payment

Check that it worked

  • Document appears in the list with a status

  • Amount and VAT look correct

  • (Optional) Bank transaction can match later
