Step 1: Select AR Invoices

  • Go to your Extractions column. You can select sales invoices in a few ways:

    • Manually select individual AR invoices

    • Use the Extraction filters to view only AR invoices, then click the checkbox beside Extraction to select all

    • Or use the keyboard shortcut Shift + E to select all visible sales invoices

💡 Tip: Selecting multiple sales invoices at once lets you export in bulk more efficiently.


Step 2: Click Export

After selecting your AR Invoices, click the Export button.


Step 3: Choose Export Format

You’ll be prompted to choose an export format. Available options include:

  • Bukku (Excel)

  • MYOB Sales (Excel)

  • PEAK (Excel)

  • QNE Past Invoices (CSV)

  • QNE Sales Invoices (CSV)

  • QuickBooks Desktop (Excel)

  • QuickBooks Online (CSV)

  • Sage (Excel)

  • Xero (CSV)

  • Zoho Books Sales Invoice (CSV)

Tip for non-integrated accounting software: The Generic CSV template is usually the best starting point.


Cautionary Notes

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

  • Choose the right template for your system to prevent import issues (especially column mapping/format errors).

  • If you plan to import the export into another tool, it’s a good idea to open the file first and spot-check key fields (Customer, Invoice Number, Dates, Total).


Tips for Efficiency

  • Get familiar with the Extractions list view so you can select and export faster.

  • Export in batches (e.g., by customer or date range) to make review/import easier.

  • If you’re importing into another system, maintain a consistent routine (weekly or monthly exports) to reduce cleanup work.
