Questions before you put it into production.
How is dispute and exception routing used by a architecture firm?+
DueHello monitors design stages, planning milestones and additional services, applies the configured receivables policy and records why each action was sent, paused or routed to project architect and practice finance.
What data does DueHello use from Xero?+
The workflow uses contact and invoice number, currency, total and amount due, issue date and due date, status and organisation. DueHello monitors receivables from the connected organisation and evaluates each next action against the configured policy.
What stops the dispute and exception routing workflow?+
The workflow stops or changes route when the exception is resolved, rejected or moved to an agreed owner. DueHello then route scope and approval questions to the project owner before another touch.
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.
