Catch thin web margins against PowerGP Online cost
For finance and pricing teams who want BigCommerce prices checked against PowerGP Online costs by asking their AI assistant.

Connector
Connect BigCommerce, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Thin margin products go live before anyone checks cost
Web prices are set in BigCommerce while costs sit in PowerGP Online, so margins are worked out in a spreadsheet after exporting both. Thin or negative margins go live, and a web price that drifted from the GP list is found by accident.
Without PopdockAI
- Export web prices from BigCommerce
- Export current cost and price lists from GP
- Match SKUs and work out margins in a sheet
- Notice price drift only by accident
With PopdockAI
- BigCommerce products are read, up to 50 per run
- Current cost and price list are looked up for each SKU in the chosen company
- Products under your margin and prices over 5 percent off the GP list are tabled
- Missing items and other currencies are flagged, and nothing is changed

**Objective:** For GP company `{company}`, find store products whose web price gives a margin under `{min-margin-percent}` percent (default 20) against GP current cost, optionally only for brand id `{brand-id}`.
**Step 1: Store prices (bigcommerce server)**
Call `bigcommerce-get-product` with `brand-id` when given. Keep `sku`, `name`, `price`, `sale-price`, `calculated-price`.
**Step 2: GP cost and list price (powergp-online-ai server)**
For each SKU call `powergp-online-get-items` with `item-number` set to the SKU and `company` set to `{company}` to read `current-cost`. Then call `powergp-online-get-itempricelists` with the same `item-number` and `company` to read `price-level` and `price`.
**Step 3: Report**
Margin = (`calculated-price` - `current-cost`) / `calculated-price`. Table of products under the threshold: SKU, name, web price, GP current cost, margin percent, GP list price. Add a second table of products where the web price differs from the GP list price by more than 5 percent.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `powergp-online-*` tools belong to the powergp-online-ai server (Dynamics GP). `bigcommerce-*` tools belong to the bigcommerce server (online store). Both servers and this prompt server must be connected.
* This prompt is read-only. Call only `get` tools. Never call any `bigcommerce-*-add`, `bigcommerce-*-update` or `bigcommerce-*-delete` tool.
* Query only the GP company given in `{company}`; never mix companies.
* Show at most 25 rows per table and say how many more there are.
**Validation:**
* Skip and count products with no GP item, or with a `current-cost` of 0.
* Process at most 50 products; say so if more exist.
* If `powergp-online-get-itempricelists` shows a `currency-id` other than the store currency, flag the row instead of comparing.Who it's for
