Step 1: Select AP Bills

Go to your Extractions column. You can select AP Bills in a few ways:

  • Manually select individual AP Bills

  • Use the Extraction filters to view only AP Bills, then click the checkbox beside Extraction to select all

  • Or use the keyboard shortcut Shift + E to select all visible AP Bills

💡 Tip: Selecting multiple AP Bills at once allows you to export in bulk and save time.

After selecting your AP Bills, click the Export button.

Cautionary Notes

  • Make sure you’re selecting the correct AP Bills before exporting to avoid unnecessary data in your file.

  • Choose the correct export format to ensure compatibility with your accounting system.

  • If you plan to import the exported file into another tool, open the file first and verify key fields such as Supplier, Bill Number, Date, Account, and Total.

  • For non-integrated entities, Account and Contact names in Tofu can be up to 200 characters. Some accounting systems enforce shorter limits, so review your data before importing.

  • For Money Forward, make sure the file stays in Shift-JIS encoding for best compatibility when opening/importing in Japan-localized Excel/accounting workflows.


Tips for Efficiency

  • Use filters (such as supplier or date range) to export only the records you need.

  • Export in smaller batches to make review and import easier.

  • Maintain a regular export routine (for example, weekly or monthly) to keep your accounting records up to date.

  • Familiarize yourself with the Extractions view to speed up selection and export workflows.
