Internal purchase invoices can be created, received, and managed in all packages. Automatic reception of external purchase invoices and bank payments are Business package-specific features for Finland. XML payment file download is a Business package feature.

    Purchase invoices in one place (Business)

    Eemel collects all purchase invoices into a single accounts payable ledger — e-invoices, PDF invoices, and manual entries. Automatic reception of external purchase invoices and bank payments are included in the Business package. In the Free and Pro packages, purchase invoices can be managed manually.

    Invoicing information readily available

    A profile page is created for your company, where suppliers can find recipient addresses and instructions. Changes are updated for all suppliers at once — no more separate emails.

    • ✅ Receive via multiple channels (e-invoicing in Finland, email, manual)
    • ✅ Clear status: open, reviewed, approved, paid
    • ✅ Attachments and comments saved for audit trail
    Accounts payable list view: due date, sender, amount, and status

    Pay purchase invoices using a supported method or mark as paid

    In Finland and supported banks, you can pay one or more invoice items with automatic bank payment via Web Service bank connection or by downloading an XML payment file to your online bank. In other situations, you can manually mark invoices as paid and allocate payments afterward — Eemel keeps the situation up-to-date. The Enable Banking account information confirmation service helps with reconciliation but does not function as a payment channel.

    • Automatic reference allocation and accounting
    • XML payment data (SEPA) download for online banking
    • Automatic bank payment with supported Finnish Web Service bank connections
    • Manual marking as paid and subsequent allocation with reconciliation
