For AP teams who want to see where a Dynamics GP vendor and its Avalara AvaTax record disagree, just by asking.

Connect Microsoft Dynamics GP, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Vendor tax details break at year-end reporting
Checking a Dynamics GP vendor against its Avalara AvaTax vendor record is done by hand. Missing taxpayer IDs and address differences tend to surface at year end, when fixing them is urgent.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the vendor and its addresses in Dynamics GP
- Find the matching vendor in Avalara AvaTax
- Compare each field by eye
- Find the missing taxpayer ID at year end
With PopdockAI
- The vendor and addresses are read and the AvaTax vendor is found
- Fields are compared one by one and differences listed
- Only whether a taxpayer ID exists is shown, never the ID
- It never picks a correct value and nothing is changed

**Objective:** Compare the Dynamics GP vendor `{vendor-id}` with its Avalara AvaTax vendor record and report where the tax-relevant details disagree.
**Step 1: Read the vendor in Dynamics GP**
Call `dynamics-gp-get-pm-vendor` with `vendor-id` set to `{vendor-id}`. If nothing is returned, say so and stop. Keep `vendor-name`, `primary-email-address`, `address-1`, `city`, `state`, `zip-code`, `vendor-status` and `hold`. Then call `dynamics-gp-get-pm-vendor-address` with the same `vendor-id` and keep each `address-code`, `state` and `zip-code`.
**Step 2: Find the vendor in Avalara AvaTax**
Call `avalara-avatax-get-vendor` with `vendor-code` set to the Dynamics GP `vendor-id`. If it returns nothing, call it again with `email-address` set to the GP `primary-email-address`, then with `name` set to the GP `vendor-name`. If more than one record matches, list them and stop. If nothing matches, report the vendor as present in Dynamics GP and absent from AvaTax, and stop.
**Step 3: Compare**
Compare `vendor-name` against `name`, `primary-email-address` against `email-address`, `city` against `city`, `state` against `region`, `zip-code` against `postal-code`. Treat case, spacing and ZIP+4 differences as formatting. Report whether AvaTax holds a `taxpayer-id-number` for the vendor (say only whether one is present, never print it).
**Step 4: Report**
Give a table of field, Dynamics GP value, AvaTax value and verdict, then a one-line conclusion.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Tools whose names start with avalara-avatax- are on the avalara-avatax MCP server; tools whose names start with dynamics-gp- are on the dynamics-gp MCP server. Both servers must be connected.
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any create, update, delete, add, void, commit, adjust, post 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:**
* If either system returns nothing, say which and stop.
* If the two systems disagree, show both values and do not choose between them.Who it's for
