Yes that's correct move documents between different repositories. I failed to see that activity thank you very much for pointing it out it appears to be exactly what I need, ironically  I had worked with this issue with support and apparently they were not aware of this either at least the tech? as the solution we came up with was ridiculous in practice.

We serve component school districts, complete separate entities from us and I guess that was the original configuration our Laserfiche provider decided was best for our environment, it was installed and configured long before my involvement so that's my best guess.
