The problem

Checking purchase tax on one bill takes several screens

To check purchase tax on a vendor bill you find it in NetSuite, then hunt for the matching purchase transaction in Avalara AvaTax. The vendor is often missing there, and searching by number, then date, then name eats time on every bill.

Without PopdockAI

  • Open the vendor bill in NetSuite
  • Search AvaTax by bill number, then date, then vendor
  • Look the vendor up in AvaTax by email or name
  • Repeat for every bill you need to check

With PopdockAI

  • The bill is read from NetSuite with its vendor and date
  • AvaTax is searched by number, then by date and vendor
  • The vendor is checked in AvaTax, with weaker name matches stated
  • A one-line verdict, and nothing written to either system

Prompt
**Objective:** For NetSuite vendor bill `{bill-number}`, find the matching AvaTax purchase transaction and confirm the vendor exists in AvaTax.

**Step 1: Read the bill**

Call `netsuite-get-vendorbill` with `document-number` = `{bill-number}`. If nothing returns, stop. Keep `vendor`, `vendor-id`, `vendor-email`, `date` and `currency-id`.

**Step 2: Find the AvaTax transaction**

Call `avalara-avatax-get-transaction` with `code` = `{bill-number}`, `document-type` = PurchaseInvoice and `company` = `{company}`. If nothing returns, retry with `date.from` and `date.to` set to the bill date, then filter by the vendor. Report not found if none matches.

**Step 3: Check the vendor**

Call `avalara-avatax-get-vendor` with `email-address` = the bill's `vendor-email`. If nothing returns, retry with `name` = the bill's `vendor`. Report whether the vendor exists in AvaTax and its `vendor-code`.

**Step 4: Report**

State: bill found or not in AvaTax, the AvaTax `total-amount`, `total-tax` and `status` if found, vendor found or not, and a one-line verdict. Note that the NetSuite bill read does not return an amount, so no total comparison is made.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* Tools starting with netsuite-get are on the netsuite MCP server. Tools starting with avalara-avatax-get are on the avalara-avatax MCP server. Both servers must be connected.
* This prompt is read-only. Call only the get tools named above. Never call any avalara-avatax Action tool (for example `avalara-avatax-transaction-create`, `avalara-avatax-transaction-adjust`, `avalara-avatax-transaction-void` or `avalara-avatax-transaction-commit`), and never create or change anything in NetSuite.
* If `{company}` is empty, omit the `company` parameter on AvaTax calls.

**Validation:**

* If the bill date and the AvaTax `date` differ, show both.
* If the vendor has no email in NetSuite, match on name only and say the match is weaker.

Who it's for

One answer, three teams that use it

Tax analysts

Confirm purchase tax was recorded

See whether a bill reached AvaTax, with its total, tax and status, without searching three different ways.

Was NetSuite vendor bill BILL-4410 recorded in Avalara AvaTax, and what tax did it carry?

Accounts payable

Check a bill before you pay it

Confirm the bill and its vendor exist in AvaTax before releasing payment, so use tax questions are settled first.

Check NetSuite bill BILL-6032 from Fabrikam in AvaTax and tell me if the vendor is set up there.

Finance controllers

Spot vendors missing from AvaTax

Each check says whether the vendor exists in AvaTax, so gaps in vendor setup surface one bill at a time.

Look up vendor bill BILL-5880 from NetSuite in Avalara AvaTax and confirm the vendor is there.
