Currency Settings for Extractions

Tofu sets a default currency for all extractions based on your entity’s country. You can choose between Single Currency or Multi-Currency.

Currency settings apply to all extraction types:

  • AP Bills

  • AR Invoices

  • Bank Statements

  • Direct Expenses


Single vs. Multi-Currency

Single Currency (Default)

  • One home currency applies to all extraction types.

  • The currency dropdown shows only this currency.

  • Recommended if all transactions are in a single currency.

Multi-Currency

  • You can add multiple currencies to the dropdown.

  • Enables foreign currency selection during extraction.

Bank Statements

  • You can assign a different currency for each line item.

  • If a line item has no currency selected, it defaults to the home currency upon export.

AP Bills, AR Invoices, Direct Expenses:

  • You can select either the home currency or one foreign currency per extraction.

  • Multiple currencies cannot be mixed within a single extraction (except Bank Statements).

💡 Switching back to Single Currency
If you want to return to Single Currency mode:

  • Only one currency must remain active.

  • Archive all other currencies first.

  • Multi-Currency cannot be disabled once foreign currencies have been used in extractions.

Tip: Enable Multi-Currency only if your extractions contain multiple currencies.


Integrated vs Non-Integrated Entities

  • Integrated entities: Enable Multi-Currency in your accounting software (e.g., Xero, QuickBooks Online). Tofu will reflect it automatically.

  • Non-integrated entities: Enable Multi-Currency under Entity Settings → Features → Accounting.


How to Add Currencies

  • Go to Entity Settings → Accounting → Currencies.

  • Click Add.

  • Select one or multiple currencies.

  • Click Add Selected.

Only add currencies that are actually used to keep dropdowns clean and review efficient.


Important Notes

  • Bank Statements: Line-item currencies available in Multi-Currency mode. Defaults to home currency if no line-item currency is selected.

  • Other Extractions (AP, AR, DE): Only home or one foreign currency can be selected.

  • Single Currency: Home currency can be switched if Multi-Currency is disabled; archive the old currency first.

  • Multi-Currency: Cannot be disabled once any foreign currency is in use.
