The problem
Fixing one bill line risks editing the wrong one
Correcting one line on a Ramp bill sounds small, but the bill may be approved or paid and several lines can look alike. Without a before and after view, a change to a bill that should be locked can slip through.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the bill and find the line
- Guess between lines that look alike
- Check by hand whether the bill is approved or paid
- Edit without a clear before and after
With PopdockAI
- The line found, with a stop if the reference is unclear
- The line shown as it is and as it will be
- Warnings for approved bills and paid bills refused
- One line updated after you confirm, then read back
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** On bill `{bill-id}`, change the line whose line number or memo matches `{line-reference}`, setting amount `{new-amount}` (leave empty to keep it) or memo text from the user's request.
**Step 1: Read the bill**
Call `ramp-get-bill` with `id` set to the bill id and `ramp-get-bill-line-item` with `bill-vendor-id` from the bill. Keep only lines whose bill invoice number matches. If the line reference matches none or several, list the lines and stop.
**Step 2: Confirm**
Show the line as it is and as it will be. Warn if the bill's approval status is already approved or its payment status is not unpaid. Ask for explicit confirmation.
**Step 3: Change**
Call `ramp-bill-update-line-item` with the bill id, the line id and only the fields that change. Re-read the line and report the stored values.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Only `ramp-bill-update-line-item` may write, once, after confirmation.
* Never call `ramp-bill-delete-line-item`, `ramp-bill-archive` or any inventory line tool. Removing lines is not part of this job.
* Refuse to edit a bill that is paid.
**Validation:**
* If no new amount or memo was given, stop and ask what to change.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Accounts payable
Correct a line amount safely
See the exact line before and after, so the right one changes and nothing else.
On Ramp bill 5531, change the shipping line to 340 dollars.
Accountants
Fix a memo before the bill syncs
Update the memo on one line and read it back to confirm it stored.
Set the memo on the consulting line of Ramp bill INV-7720 to October retainer.
AP managers
Keep approved and paid bills safe
Approved bills come with a warning and paid bills are refused, so locked bills stay locked.
Change line 2 on Ramp bill INV-3304 from Contoso to 980, but warn me if it is approved.
How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask

Ask
You give the bill, which line to change, and the new amount or memo.
02
Read
It finds the line on the bill and stops if the reference matches none or several.
03
Confirm
You see the line before and after, with warnings for approved or paid bills.
04
Change
It updates that one line and reads back the stored values.
