What can Dext AI Assist guidance search for and update?

See every field and action Dext AI Assist can use in guidance, including which fields aren't supported yet.

Written by Alexander

Dext AI Assist guidance is built from conditions and actions. This article lists every field AI Assist guidance can check as a condition, and every action it can perform, including what's not supported yet. To create or edit guidance itself, go to Dext AI Assist: Account guidance.

Note: AI Assist doesn’t run on documents imported through Commerce Lite or the Amazon Business connection, so guidance doesn’t categorise or publish them. Invoices from other Fetch suppliers, and Amazon invoices you upload or email to Dext, run AI Assist as normal.


Fields and actions AI Assist can update

AI Assist guidance can update these document fields once a condition is met. Adding, updating, merging, or splitting line items requires Line Item Extraction (LIX).
