Custom ERP integration data contract

Use the ledger as truth. Add the decision layer it lacks.

A scoped integration supplies the minimum receivables events needed for monitoring, decisions and outcome updates. Agree source ownership, field mapping, update frequency, failure handling and security review during implementation.

Fields in scope
stable invoice and customer keys
balance and lifecycle status
dates, entity and currency
exceptions, payments and ownership

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.

Questions before you put it into production.

How is approval by exception used by a consultancy?+

DueHello monitors monthly retainers, time-based fees and milestone billing, applies the configured receivables policy and records why each action was sent, paused or routed to engagement partner and finance lead.

What data does DueHello use from Custom ERP integration?+

The workflow uses stable invoice and customer keys, balance and lifecycle status, dates, entity and currency, exceptions, payments and ownership. A scoped integration supplies the minimum receivables events needed for monitoring, decisions and outcome updates.

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 surface commercial blockers to the engagement owner before increasing pressure.

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.
