Exact Online data contract
Use the ledger as truth. Add the decision layer it lacks.
DueHello reads receivable status from the connected administration and keeps the accounting record as the source of truth. Connect the administration, select the entities in scope and map the sender identity before activating a playbook.
Evidence remains attached to the decision.
For this workflow, DueHello keeps threshold matched, approver identity, decision and final action. The team can see what happened without reconstructing it from inboxes.
