Approve bookkeeping — desktop and swipe

When AI doesn’t book automatically, you approve suggestions on desktop or with swipe on your phone — one by one or in bulk.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

Documents and bank items Payfriend is not confident enough to book alone land with you. Approve on desktop or swipe on your phone.

Before you start

  • Items waiting for approval / “needs action” (menu badges)

  • You understand the suggestion (account, VAT, match) — fix before approving if wrong

  • On mobile: home-screen app recommended

Steps — desktop

1. Open the relevant queue

Bills, Documents, or Bank.

2. Open the item

Check supplier, amount, VAT, account, and image.

3. Fix if needed

Change account/VAT, link supplier, or reject the suggestion.

4. Approve / book

Confirm. The posting goes to the accounting system when the integration is healthy.

5. Bulk (when available)

Select several high-confidence suggestions and approve together.

Steps — mobile swipe

1. Open the queue on your phone

Often a card stack, one suggestion at a time.

2. Read the suggestion

Transaction/document, suggested account, confidence.

3. Swipe

  • Right — book / confirm (depending on context)

  • Left — postpone / skip

4. Continue until the queue is empty or you’re “up to date enough”

Check that it worked

  • Badge counts drop

  • Item status becomes booked / reconciled

  • Visible in e-conomic/Dinero/Billy after sync
