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 relationship tier, policy version, handoff reason. The team can see what happened without reconstructing it from inboxes.

Questions before you put it into production.

How is relationship-based dunning used by a law firm?+

DueHello monitors matter-based fees, retainers and disbursements, applies the configured receivables policy and records why each action was sent, paused or routed to matter partner 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 relationship-based dunning workflow?+

The workflow stops or changes route when relationship context requires a pause, handoff or revised route. DueHello then send matter-sensitive exceptions to the responsible partner.

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.

Map this against real invoices.
