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.

DueHello monitors commission stages, fieldwork costs and final-report milestones, applies the configured receivables policy and records why each action was sent, paused or routed to research lead and finance manager.
What data does DueHello use from Exact Online?+
The workflow uses invoice number and customer, issue date, due date and open amount, payment and credit status, administration and reference. DueHello reads receivable status from the connected administration and keeps the accounting record as the source of truth.
What stops the approval by exception workflow?+
The workflow stops or changes route when an authorised person approves, edits or rejects the action. DueHello then confirm milestone acceptance before moving an invoice into escalation.
