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.
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.

Questions before you put it into production.
How is dispute and exception routing used by a research firm?+
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 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 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 confirm milestone acceptance before moving an invoice into escalation.
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.
