CSV import data contract

Use the ledger as truth. Add the decision layer it lacks.

A validated import creates the invoice state used by the playbook; later files update matching records through stable identifiers. Map required columns, validate sample rows and define the import owner before any automated action is permitted.

Fields in scope
stable invoice and customer IDs
issue date and due date
open amount and currency
payment, dispute and owner status

Evidence remains attached to the decision.

For this workflow, DueHello keeps prior contact attempts, approval or hold status, handoff package. The team can see what happened without reconstructing it from inboxes.

Questions before you put it into production.

How is invoice escalation used by a accounting firm?+

DueHello monitors monthly service fees, annual work and advisory projects, applies the configured receivables policy and records why each action was sent, paused or routed to client partner and practice finance.

What data does DueHello use from CSV import?+

The workflow uses stable invoice and customer IDs, issue date and due date, open amount and currency, payment, dispute and owner status. A validated import creates the invoice state used by the playbook; later files update matching records through stable identifiers.

What stops the invoice escalation workflow?+

The workflow stops or changes route when payment, response, internal hold or formal handoff. DueHello then route account-specific exceptions to the client partner with a complete trace.

Does DueHello replace the finance or account team?+

No. DueHello performs the permitted follow-up and brings exceptions to the accountable person with the context and evidence needed to decide.

Map this against real invoices.

Bring one month of monthly service fees, annual work and advisory projects. We will map the policy, exceptions and CSV import data route with your team.
