You can quickly populate your supplier list in Dext by importing a CSV file.
Note: If your Dext account is connected to accounting software (like Xero or QuickBooks), your supplier list will be pulled in automatically.
Upload a CSV file
If you're using Dext with accounting software that doesn’t integrate directly, you can manually upload your supplier data using a .csv file.
To import your supplier list to Dext:
Export your supplier list from your accounting software in CSV format.
Make sure your file includes at least the following columns: Supplier Name (required), Currency (optional), Category Name (optional), Supplier Code (optional, but must be unique per supplier).
Open Dext and go to Costs > Suppliers.
Click Import from CSV at the top of the page.
Select your CSV file.
Select Next.
Map each column (e.g., Supplier Name, Code, Currency) to the correct fields in Dext
Select Submit.
What happens after import?
Your list will appear under the suppliers list once the upload is complete.
Dext automatically applies supplier rules for any supplier that includes a Currency, Tax, and Category.
If a supplier name already exists, Dext will merge duplicates automatically.
