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 exception category, owner and timestamps, resolution note. The team can see what happened without reconstructing it from inboxes.
