The problem

Vendor records drift between the ERP and the tax engine

Vendor details drift between Business Central and Avalara AvaTax over time. The only way to see the differences is to open both records and compare them field by field.

Without PopdockAI

  • Open the vendor in Business Central
  • Find the matching vendor in AvaTax
  • Compare every field by eye
  • Chase formatting differences that do not matter

With PopdockAI

  • Both vendor records are found, and it stops if a match is ambiguous
  • The records are compared field by field
  • Real differences are separated from formatting noise
  • Nothing is changed in either system

Prompt
**Objective:** Compare the Business Central vendor `{vendor-number}` with its Avalara AvaTax vendor record and report where the details disagree.

**Step 1: Read the vendor in Business Central**

Call `business-central-get-vendor` with `vendor-number` set to `{vendor-number}`. If nothing is returned, say so and stop. Keep `name`, `email`, `country-code`, `state`, `city` and `blocked`.

**Step 2: Find the vendor in Avalara AvaTax**

Call `avalara-avatax-get-vendor` with `vendor-code` set to the Business Central `vendor-number`. If nothing is returned, retry with `email-address` set to the Business Central `email`, then with `name`. If several match, list them and stop. If none match, report the vendor as present in Business Central and absent from AvaTax.

**Step 3: Report**

Give a table comparing `name` with `name`, `email` with `email-address`, `country-code` with `country`, `state` with `region`, `city` with `city`, with a verdict for each (match, formatting only, differs). Add the AvaTax `last-transaction` and whether the vendor is blocked in Business Central.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* Tools whose names start with avalara-avatax- are on the avalara-avatax MCP server; tools whose names start with business-central- are on the business-central MCP server. Both servers must be connected.
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any create, update, delete, add, void, commit, adjust, refund or other action tool on either server.
* Report what the two systems show. Do not present results as tax advice or as a filed return.

**Validation:**

* Treat case, spacing and country-format differences as formatting only.
* If either side returns nothing, report only the other side.
