Written by Jess B

Quickly locate, understand, and manage your documents and extractions in tofu using filters.

Filters help you focus on what needs attention, reduce clutter, and move faster through your workflow. You can also save frequently used filters as default for a more personalized experience.

This article explains:

  • What each status means

  • Where statuses appear in tofu

  • How to use filters to find and manage your work


Where Filters are Available

You can access filters using the Filter Funnel icon in the top-right corner of:

  • Source Documents panel

  • Extraction panel

Note:
If the filter icon isn't visible, your panel or browser window may be too narrow. Expand the width until the icon appears.


Source Documents panel filters

  • Status: Pending, Processing, Needs Review, Done, or Error.

  • Source: where the document came from, including tofu, your connected accounting software (Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Sage Cloud Accounting, freee, MoneyForward Cloud, AutoCount Cloud, Bukku, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Odoo, FreeAgent), or an upload source like Google Drive, SharePoint, Email, or WhatsApp.

  • Uploaded by: available for entities using WhatsApp document intake, filter by which submitter uploaded a document instead of checking each file individually. Note: documents uploaded before this update only have the uploader's name stored as free text and won't appear when filtering by submitter, this is a known limitation with no backfill planned.

  • Extraction Type: Unknown, AP Bill, AR Invoice, Bank Statement, or Direct Expense.

  • Created Date: when the document was added to tofu. Supports any date range, so it's useful for finding older documents too.

  • Sort by: Upload date (newest or oldest first) or Document date (newest or oldest first).


Extractions panel filters

  • Extraction Status: see the full list below.

  • Extraction Type: AP Bill, AR Invoice, Bank Statement, or Direct Expense.

  • Date: Invoice Date, Due Date, Created Date, Export Date, or Completed Date.

  • Error: Upload Error, Extraction Error, Export Error, Publish Error, Delete Error, or Validation Error.

  • Labels: Duplicate or New Contact.

  • Contact: filter by the customer or vendor identified in the document.

  • Invoice Number: search for a specific invoice using its number.

  • Amount: filter by an exact total, or by a minimum and maximum range. For example, find invoices totaling exactly 1,200, or everything between 500 and 2,000.

Tip: combine Amount with Date to quickly identify high-value invoices from a specific period.
