The problem

Expired GL accounts and cost centers linger in tax setup

Expired GL accounts and cost centers stay in Avalara AvaTax long after they stop being used, and nobody checks their effective and end dates. Duplicates and gaps are only noticed when a tax report looks wrong.

Without PopdockAI

  • Export GL accounts and cost centers from AvaTax
  • Check effective and end dates by hand
  • Sort codes to spot duplicates
  • Find the problem when a report looks wrong

With PopdockAI

  • GL accounts and cost centers are read for the company
  • Ended, ending soon and not yet effective entries are flagged
  • Duplicate codes and missing entity use codes are found
  • Nothing is added, updated or deleted

Prompt
**Objective:** Audit GL accounts and cost centers for `{company}` and report entries that are ended, not yet effective or duplicated, as of today.

**Step 1: Read GL accounts**

Call `avalara-avatax-get-gl-account` with `company` = `{company}`. Read `gl-account-code`, `entity-use-code`, `effective-date`, `end-date`.

**Step 2: Read cost centers**

Call `avalara-avatax-get-cost-center` with `company` = `{company}`. Read `cost-center-code`, `entity-use-code`, `effective-date`, `end-date`.

**Step 3: Check**

* Entries with an `end-date` in the past or in the next 30 days.
* Entries whose `effective-date` is in the future.
* Duplicate codes within each list.
* Entries with no `entity-use-code` while others have one.

**Step 4: Report**

Two tables, one for GL accounts and one for cost centers, listing flagged entries with the reason, followed by counts. Say which codes a user should review first.

**Validation:**

* If either list is empty, say so and report the other.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* This prompt is read-only. Call only the `avalara-avatax-get-*` tools named above. Never call any avalara-avatax tool that adds, updates, deletes, commits, uncommits, voids, unvoids, adjusts, refunds, locks, settles or creates anything.
* Report what the data shows. Do not guess values the tools did not return, and say so when a field came back empty.
* Use `max-records` to keep each read small, and say when a result may be truncated by it.
