Connect Avalara AvaTax, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
A broken location breaks tax on every sale from that site
A location with a missing address or no registration breaks tax calculation for every sale from that site. These problems are usually found only when sales start failing or tax comes out wrong.
Without PopdockAI
- Open each location in AvaTax
- Check addresses and registration by hand
- Look for ended locations and the default
- Find out when sales start failing
With PopdockAI
- The company is found, and it stops if the name is ambiguous
- Its locations are read and checked
- Incomplete addresses, unregistered and ended locations are flagged
- Default location problems are called out, and nothing is changed
The prompt
Use this prompt

**Objective:** Audit the locations of `{company}` and check that each is set up for correct tax calculation.
**Step 1: Read the company**
Call `avalara-avatax-get-company` with `company-code` = `{company}`. If more than one matches, list them and stop. Note `active`, `test-company` and `default-country`.
**Step 2: Read the locations**
Call `avalara-avatax-get-location` with `company` = `{company}`. Read `location-code`, `dba-name`, `address-line-1`, `city`, `region`, `postal-code`, `country`, `registered`, `registered-date`, `effective-date`, `end-date`, `default`.
**Step 3: Check**
* Locations with a missing address line, city, region or postal-code.
* Locations that are not `registered`, or with an `end-date` in the past.
* More than one location marked `default`, or none.
* Locations whose `country` differs from the company `default-country`.
* If the company is a test company, say findings affect test data only.
**Step 4: Report**
Give the company summary, a table of locations with their issues, and a ranked list of what to fix first.
**Validation:**
* If no company matches, say so and stop. If it has no locations, say so as the main finding.
**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.Who it's for
