We tried to make OpenKM as intuitive as possible, but an advice is always welcome.
Forum rules: Please, before asking something see the documentation wiki or use the search feature of the forum. And remember we don't have a crystal ball or mental readers, so if you post about an issue tell us which OpenKM are you using and also the browser and operating system version. For more info read How to Report Bugs Effectively.
In a trasaction you can copy the document to other location. But you have the workflow with the document or with a folder, because the workflow is started with a unique UUID and what is not changed during all the workflow life. In you case I suggest start with a folder and set relation between the documents involved in your workflow process with the folder ( like a record -> we have this type of object in the professional edition what is a container ).
