Dext Done Right: Stop Typing In Receipts
Manual data entry is dead.
Here is how to make Dext do the typing for you.
By Harvee Patterson, Trainee Accountant
Manual data entry is dead. Dext photographs and reads your receipts and bills, then pushes them into Xero, so nobody keys them in by hand. Here is how to get it right.
Capture everything, instantly
Snap receipts on the app as you go, and forward supplier invoices to your unique Dext email address. If it never piles up, it never becomes a job.
Set supplier rules
Tell Dext how to treat each regular supplier once, and it will code them automatically from then on.
Review, then publish
To begin with, glance over what Dext extracts before it posts to Xero. Once you trust it, you can let more flow through automatically.
It keeps a digital copy of every document too, which is exactly what you need for Making Tax Digital. We get clients set up on Dext and it is often the single biggest time saver we introduce.
