The Challenge

A financial services company ran a dual-system operation: an external platform tracked all client work and generated billing data, while NetSuite handled accounting. Invoices had to be manually recreated in NetSuite -- 200-300 per month, each taking 30-60 minutes of data entry.

Intelligent Failure Handling

Key Engineering Patterns

Challenge	Solution
Invoices with 500+ line items hit field size limits	Automatic segmentation into 100-line chunks with parallel processing and reassembly
Processing 300 invoices would timeout in single script	Multi-stage pipeline with independent governance budgets per stage
External system occasionally retries requests (duplicates)	Unique ID tracking with duplicate detection before processing
Some invoices fail while others succeed	Status-driven state machine with independent processing and retry
Different consolidation rules for different invoice types	Configuration field on invoice controls consolidation logic dynamically
