You can quickly populate your Supplier List in Dext by importing a CSV file.
Note: If your Dext account is connected to an accounting platform (like Xero or QuickBooks), your Supplier List will be pulled in automatically.
Upload a CSV file
If you're using Dext with a platform that doesn’t integrate directly, you can manually upload your supplier data using a .csv file.
Step-by-step: How to import your Supplier list
1. Export your supplier list from your accounting software in CSV format
2. 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)
3. Open Dext and go to Costs > Suppliers
4. Click Import from CSV at the top of the page
5. Select your CSV file
6. Click Next
7. Map each column (e.g., Supplier Name, Code, Currency) to the correct fields in Dext
8. Click 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.
