The problem
Payroll errors hide in a line by line check before pay day
Payroll administrators compare the pre-check summary with posted checks one employee at a time before pay day. Wage differences, negative nets and sudden jumps over the prior run are easy to miss, and the pay code behind each one sits several screens away.
Without PopdockAI
- Read the pre-check summary totals by hand
- Compare each employee's gross and net with posted checks
- Open more screens to find the pay code behind a difference
- Miss a negative net or a jump over the prior run
With PopdockAI
- Pre-check totals read for the pay period you name
- Gross and net compared for every employee with posted checks
- Pay codes shown behind each exception
- No social security numbers or addresses, and nothing changed

**Objective:** Audit the payroll run ending on `{pay-period-end}` in `{company}` (default company if empty), for employee class `{employee-class}` when given.
**Step 1: Pre-check summary**
Call `powergp-online-get-payrollprechecksummary` with `pay-period-end-date.from` and `pay-period-end-date.to` both set to the period end, plus `employee-class` when given. Note `gross-wages`, `net-wages` and the withholding fields.
**Step 2: Posted checks**
Call `powergp-online-get-payrollchecks` with the same employee class and `pay-period-begin-date.from` just before the period. Compare each employee's `gross-wages` and `net-wages` with Step 1.
**Step 3: Detail on exceptions**
For employees with a difference, a net wage at or below zero, or gross more than 25 percent above their prior run, call `powergp-online-get-payrollprechecks` and `powergp-online-get-payrollcheckdetails` with `employee-id` to see the pay codes behind it.
**Step 4: Report**
Totals (gross, net, federal withholding), count of employees, and an exceptions table: employee id, name, issue, amounts.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Only the get tools on this server exist; never try to change, post, approve, release or delete anything in Dynamics GP.
* Payroll data is confidential: report only what the audit needs and never print social security numbers or addresses.
* Do not call `powergp-online-get-employees` for this job.
**Validation:**
* If the pre-check summary is empty, say no run was found for that period and stop.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Payroll administrators
Check the whole run before pay day
Every employee's gross and net is compared with posted checks, so a wrong amount is caught before it reaches a bank account.

Controllers
Sign off a run with the exceptions in front of you
See totals, an employee count and the pay codes behind each exception before you approve the run.

HR managers
