How to set up client delegation for A-melding in Altinn

This guide shows you how to retrieve A-melding for several related companies when you don't have an accountant relationship in Altinn. This approach is suitable for groups and company structures where one company administers the A-scheme on behalf of the

In short

This solution is used when each client company delegates the A-scheme directly to the administering company in Altinn, rather than through an accountant relationship.

Here's how it works: you create a single system access in Accountflow, the client companies grant authorisation for the A-scheme in Altinn, and you then retrieve the delegated companies in Accountflow. Once everything is connected, you can retrieve A-melding for all the companies from one place.

Before you start

You must have Superadministrator access in Accountflow to create and manage the system access. The person approving in Altinn must have the right to approve system access for the relevant organisation number. Each client company must be created in Accountflow before you can link it to the system access.

Step by step: Set up client delegation

1. Create system access in Accountflow

  • Go to Settings & Admin in the menu on the left.

  • Click Organization.

  • Select the A-melding System User tab.

  • Click Create new system access.

  • Under setup type, select System access for clients: use this when the organisation number belongs to the administering company, which will retrieve A-melding on behalf of other companies.

  • Under Client package, select A-scheme: use this when each client company delegates A-melding directly to the administering company in Altinn – not through an accountant relationship.

  • Enter Organisation number for sender – the org. no. of the company that will administer the access.

  • Give the request a descriptive Display name, e.g. "Holding AS – System access for clients".

  • Click Create.

💡 Accountflow now creates an approval link, and the status shows as Awaiting verification.

2. Approve the system access in Altinn

  • Click Open Altinn approval, or use Copy link and send it to the person with the right to approve system access in Altinn.

  • The recipient logs in to Altinn and sees the page Approve system access for your clients.

  • The page shows that the system access will be granted authorisation for the access package the A-scheme.

  • Click Approve system access.

💡 Once the access is approved, the system user is created in Altinn, and the status in Accountflow is updated automatically.

3. Link client companies to the system access in Altinn

  • Go to Access management → System accesses in Altinn and select Accountflow.

  • Click + Add clients to add client companies, or + Add your business to include the administering company itself.

  • In the search dialog, you'll find the companies registered in Accountflow. Click Add to system access for each company.

  • Click Confirm and close.

💡 The companies now appear under Clients linked to the system access.

4. Grant authorisation from the client company in Altinn

This step is carried out by – or on behalf of – each client company that hasn't already delegated access.

  • Log in to Altinn as a person with the necessary rights in the client company.

  • Go to Access management → Authorisations.

  • Create new authorisation: select the access package the A-scheme, and add the administering company (e.g. Holding AS, org. no. XXX XXX XXX) as the recipient of the authorisation.

  • Confirm the setup.

💡 The client company has now delegated the A-scheme to the administering company via Altinn.

5. Retrieve delegated companies in Accountflow

  • Go back to Settings & Admin → Organization → A-melding System User.

  • Click the display name for the system access to open the detailed view.

  • Under Delegated companies in Altinn, click Update delegated companies.

  • Accountflow retrieves the list from Altinn and shows which companies have been found and automatically matched against Accountflow companies with the corresponding org. no.

💡 Found means the company has been matched against an existing company in Accountflow. No match means the company doesn't have a corresponding company in Accountflow.

You can now retrieve A-melding for all companies with the status Found.

Frequently asked questions

The request has been showing "Awaiting verification" for a long time – what should I do? Check that the approval link was sent to the right person, and that they have the right to approve system access in Altinn for the relevant organisation number.

A company shows "No match" after updating – what does that mean? The company has been delegated in Altinn but doesn't exist in Accountflow. Create the company in Accountflow with the correct org. no., and click Update delegated companies again.

I only see my own companies under "Add clients" – why? Accountflow only shows companies that are already registered in your Accountflow portfolio. Make sure the client company is created in Accountflow before you link it to the system access.
