The problem

Invoices that never reached the tax engine

Posted Business Central invoices that never reached Avalara AvaTax go uncommitted for tax. Finding them means comparing two long lists by eye.

Without PopdockAI

  • Export posted sales invoices from Business Central
  • Export AvaTax transactions for the same dates
  • Compare the two lists by eye
  • Call an invoice missing when it was filed under another code

With PopdockAI

  • Posted invoices and AvaTax transactions are read for the range
  • Probable matches under a different code are set aside
  • Invoices with no transaction and transactions with no invoice are listed
  • Truncated results come with a request for a narrower range

Prompt
**Objective:** Find posted Business Central sales invoices dated from `{from-date}` to `{to-date}` that have no matching Avalara AvaTax transaction, optionally for customer `{customer-number}`.

**Step 1: List the invoices in Business Central**

Call `business-central-get-posted-sales-invoice` with `posting-date.from` set to `{from-date}` and `posting-date.to` set to `{to-date}`. If `{customer-number}` is not empty, also set `sell-to-customer-number` to it. If the result is truncated by `max-records`, say so and ask for a narrower range.

**Step 2: List the transactions in Avalara AvaTax**

Call `avalara-avatax-get-transaction` with `date.from` set to `{from-date}` and `date.to` set to `{to-date}`. If `{customer-number}` is not empty, set `customer-code` to it. Do not filter on `document-type`; keep each transaction's `code`, `document-type`, `status`, `total-amount` and `total-tax`.

**Step 3: Match**

Match each invoice `invoice-number` against the AvaTax `code`. For an invoice with no code match, look for a transaction with the same `customer-code` and `total-amount`, and report it as a probable match under a different code.

**Step 4: Report**

Give counts: invoices checked, matched, probable matches, missing. Then list the missing invoices with number, posting date, customer, `total-amount` and invoice tax (`total-amount-including-tax` minus `total-amount`). Also list AvaTax transactions in the range that match no invoice.

**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:**

* If either side returns nothing, say so and report the other side only.
* Invoices posted with no tax may legitimately have no AvaTax transaction; flag zero-tax invoices separately.
