The problem
Below-cost Shopify prices slip through item by item checks
Prices and costs are checked one item at a time, once in the Dynamics GP price lists and again in the Shopify admin. Under-priced and below-cost items slip through, and a unit of measure or currency mismatch makes the comparison misleading.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the GP price list and current cost for the item
- Look up the same variant in the Shopify admin
- Work out both margins by hand
- Compare across different units or currencies by mistake
With PopdockAI
- GP cost and price list row read for the item
- Shopify price, compare price and cost read for the variant
- Both margins, the gap and a plain verdict
- Same unit of measure only, currencies never converted
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** For item `{sku}`, compare the Dynamics GP price list and cost with the Shopify variant price, using price level `{price-level}` (any level if empty).
**Step 1: GP side**
Call `powergp-online-get-items` (powergp-online-ai) with `item-number` = `{sku}` to get `current-cost` and `price-level-id`. Then call `powergp-online-get-itempricelists` (powergp-online-ai) with `item-number` = `{sku}` to get `price`, `price-level`, `currency-id`, `uof-m` and `from-quantity`.
**Step 2: Shopify side**
Call `shopify-get-product-variant` (shopify) with `sku` = `{sku}` and read `price` and `compare-price`. Call `shopify-get-inventory-item` (shopify) with `sku` = `{sku}` and read `cost`.
**Step 3: Report**
Show GP price (for `{price-level}` if given), GP current cost, Shopify price, Shopify compare price, Shopify cost, margin on each side, and the gap. State clearly whether prices match, Shopify is lower than GP, or Shopify is below GP cost.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* `powergp-online-*` tools belong to the powergp-online-ai server; `shopify-*` tools belong to the shopify server. Both servers must be connected; if a tool is missing, name the missing server and stop.
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any `shopify-add-*` or `shopify-update-*` tool, and do not change anything in either system.
* Compare only the price-list row with `from-quantity` 1 or lowest, and only in the same unit of measure.
**Validation:**
* If the SKU has no price list row, report cost only.
* If currencies differ, report both and do not convert.
* If the SKU is missing on one side, say so and stop.Who it's for
