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 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 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 relationship-based dunning workflow?+
The workflow stops or changes route when relationship context requires a pause, handoff or revised route. 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.
Map this against real invoices.
Bring one month of commission stages, fieldwork costs and final-report milestones. We will map the policy, exceptions and CSV import data route with your team.
