How to move items between workspaces in Dext

Move costs and sales items between workspaces from the inbox or item details page in Dext, or from the Dext mobile app.

Written by Alexander

You can move an item to a different workspace in Dext, for example when a supplier bill was uploaded to Sales. Moving an item takes it out of its current workspace and puts it in the one you choose.

Where you can move an item depends on the workspace it's in:

  • Costs: to Sales, Supplier statements or Vault. Supplier statements is only in the Dext web app.

  • Sales: to Costs or Vault

Note: Moving a costs item to Supplier statements incurs supplier statement extraction charges. For details, go to How to upload and manage supplier statements


Move an item in the Dext web app

To move an item in the Dext web app, use Move to in the inbox or on the item details page.

From the inbox

To move one or more items to a different workspace from the Costs or Sales inbox:

  1. Select Costs or Sales in the main sidebar to open the Costs inbox or Sales inbox.

  2. Select the checkbox next to each item you want to move.

  3. Select Actions, then Move to.

  4. Choose a destination, then select Move.

  5. Select Convert to confirm. A message confirms the move, and the items appear in the inbox you chose.

From the item details page

To move an item to a different workspace from its details page:

  1. Open the item from the Costs inbox or Sales inbox.

  2. Select Actions, then Move to.

  3. Choose a destination, then select Move.

  4. Select Convert to confirm. A message confirms the move, and the items appear in the inbox you chose.

A moved item often shows To review in its new inbox, because Dext extracts different details for costs and sales based on where the document was first uploaded.

For example, a document uploaded to Sales gets a customer, so after you move it to Sales, you need to add the supplier manually.

If you'd rather have Dext extract everything for the right document type, delete the item and upload it again to the correct workspace.
