accounting-approved payments

Many people have questions about

In order for the accounting-approved payments to work, the person who approves the file from the ERP system must also be a user in the corporate online bank. The user must have privilege to the account in order to register and approve payments.

An administrator can check this in the corporate online bank in the menu option ‘Administration’ - ‘Privileges’ - ‘Manage users’.

Tips for customer who user accountants/proxies: You’ll find the customer number in the agreement in ERP where the online bank subscription to DNB is shown, and where rights to accounts are checked against accounting-approved payments.

There are two different ways to give access to your accountant:
1. Accountants are entered as new users in your corporate online bank. The administrator in your corporate online bank must enter the new user under ‘Administration’ - ‘Manage users’.
  Note: The administrator needs the national identity number of the new user (the accountant).
2. The accountant applies for account authorisation so that the account is accessible from the accountant’s online bank. Both the authorisation holder and the authorisation grantor can apply for this through an authorisation scheme.
  Note: To use this method, the accountant must already be a customer/have corporate online banking in DNB.

You’ll need the following to use accounting-approved payments

Initiate the order with your supplier
Banking integration and banking services can be ordered with a few clicks when you do it digitally and initiate the order from your accounting system.
See which accounting systems offer digital ordering of banking integration.
If your ERP system isn’t listed, you need an integrated online banking solution in order to send files from your accounting system through the corporate online bank.

How to get started with an integrated online banking solution

Accounting-approved payments let you approve your payments in the accounting system. This means you don’t have to re-approve them in the online bank.
You can order accounting-approved payments when you have banking integration in place. The solution will be ready to use within a short period of time.

People who will be approving payment files must be registered as users in the corporate online bank. An administrator in the online bank can add new users under ‘Administration’ - ‘Manage users’ – ‘Add new users’ (on the top of the page).
In the online bank you can either become an administrator (all accesses), an orderer (can order products digitally) or an ordinary user (a user gets the access an administrator assigns).
People who want to become users in the online bank must be registered with us with valid proof of identity. You’ll be asked to order digital proof of identity if the person you wish to create as an online bank user isn’t registered with a valid proof of identity with us.
Log in to create a user in the online bank
User privileges
Users who will be approving payments must be given privileges to the accounts the payments will be made from. An administrator can do this in the online bank.
The rights can be removed by the administrator when the user no longer needs them.
Log in to give privileges/access to a user

Tips for accountants

To order banking integration on behalf of another company, you’ll need orderer authorisation. You can see an overview of your accountancy office’s authorisations in the corporate online bank under ‘Administration’ – ‘Authorisation overview’.

If you don’t have authorisation to order products for another company, you can change this under Administration - Give/Receive Account Authorisation. Fill out the form so you have “Authorisation to open Norwegian accounts and order products/services on behalf of companies”.

When this is in place you can order banking integration on behalf of other companies.
Note: Initiate banking integration from the ERP system’s website.

ISO20022 XML is an international messaging standard for payment services that’s used in the interface between customer and bank, and which is increasingly also used between banks, nationally and internationally. The new standard will replace the old proprietary standards within each individual country. The advantage for our customers and their suppliers of ERP and treasury systems is a standard that’s almost identical from bank to bank.
Our Message Implementation Guides/MIGs cover payments, advisory services and account information in NO, SE, DK, FI, DE, UK and US via an interface with the bank.
Banking integration with DNB and the use of our MIGs ensures a reliable and flexible solution that also takes into account the new Nordic payment infrastructure P27.

Test formats and payment types
We provide our customers with a validation tool called XMLdation. Using this tool, developers can regularly test the format and the payment types they work with.
Get in touch with us on tci@dnb.no to be issued with a username and password. We’ll reply to you within the next working day.

The common file format for P27 will be ISO20022 XML. Relevant Message Implementation Guides for P27 can therefore be ordered under the item ISO20022 XML.
The vision for P27 is to establish a common Nordic banking infrastructure for domestic and international payments in all of the countries’ currencies. The aim is to adapt the payment rules to those that exist in the eurozone. In this way, P27 will contribute to further harmonisation of the European payment landscape.
