The problem
Vendor mismatches that surface at 1099 time
Vendor details are kept in both the Rillet ledger and Avalara AvaTax. A mismatched tax ID or address causes use tax and 1099 problems later, when fixing it is slow and urgent.
Without PopdockAI
- Look up the vendor in Rillet
- Find the same vendor in AvaTax
- Compare tax IDs and addresses by eye
- Discover the mismatch at year end
With PopdockAI
- The vendor found in both systems, with a stop on several matches
- Identity, tax ID and address compared
- Tax IDs masked and empty fields reported as Missing
- Recent bill activity shown, nothing edited

**Objective:** Find the vendor matching `{vendor}` (a name or email address) in both Rillet and AvaTax and report differences in identity, tax id and address. AvaTax company is `{company}` (default: the default company).
**Step 1: Find the Rillet vendor**
Call `rillet-get-vendors` and match on name containing `{vendor}` or on email equal to it. If several match, list them (name, city, vendor-id) and stop. If none, say so and stop.
**Step 2: Find the AvaTax vendor**
Call `avalara-avatax-get-vendor` with `email-address` when you have one from Rillet, otherwise `name.contains` with the Rillet vendor name, and `company` if given. If none, report the vendor as present in Rillet and absent from AvaTax. If several, list them and stop.
**Step 3: Compare**
Compare name, tax-id (Rillet) with taxpayer-id-number (AvaTax), email, city, region, postal-code and country. Ignore punctuation, dashes in tax ids and case.
**Step 4: Add bill context**
Call `rillet-get-bills` with `vendor-id` set to the Rillet vendor-id and report the bill count and the latest bill date. Report the AvaTax last-transaction date.
**Step 5: Report**
A table of field, Rillet, AvaTax, Same or Different, then the activity line.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Tools whose names start with avalara-avatax are on the avalara-avatax server; tools whose names start with rillet are on the rillet server. Both servers must be connected.
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any AvaTax action tool (for example `avalara-avatax-transaction-create`, `avalara-avatax-transaction-adjust`, `avalara-avatax-transaction-void`, `avalara-avatax-transaction-commit`) or any Rillet add, update, apply or set tool (for example `rillet-add-invoice`, `rillet-update-invoice`, `rillet-add-credit-memo`).
* Report what the two systems show. Do not present the result as a filed tax return or as tax advice.
**Validation:**
* Show tax ids masked except the last four characters.
* If a field is empty on one side, report it as Missing rather than Different.Who it's for
