The problem
Duplicate bills paid twice before anyone notices
Duplicate vendor bills slip into Sage Intacct when an invoice arrives by email and post, or a bill number is keyed differently. Spotting them means sorting hundreds of bills by hand, and by then both copies may be paid.
Without PopdockAI
- Export recent bills from Sage Intacct
- Sort by vendor and amount in a spreadsheet
- Rule out rent and subscriptions by hand
- Check payments to see what was paid twice
With PopdockAI
- Bills compared on number, amount, date, reference and vendor name
- Same-amount recurring charges ruled out
- Lines and payment history checked for each candidate
- Exposure totalled, every group a candidate, nothing voided

**Objective:** Find bills entered more than once over the last {lookback-days} days (default 90), for vendors whose name contains `{vendor-name}` (blank means all vendors), and say which duplicates have already been paid.
**Step 1: Pull the bills**
Call `intacct-get-bill` with `bill-date.from` set to the start of the window and `max-records` 2000, adding `vendor-name.contains` when a vendor name was given. Ignore bills with a `total-amount` of zero.
**Step 2: Find candidate duplicates**
Compare the bills in these passes, strongest first:
* High: same `vendor-id` and the same `bill-number` once case, spaces, punctuation and leading zeros are ignored.
* Medium: same `vendor-id` and same `total-amount`, with `bill-date` values no more than 7 days apart.
* Medium: same `vendor-id`, same `total-amount`, and the same `reference-number` or `description`.
* Medium: different `vendor-id` but a near-identical `vendor-name`, with the same `total-amount` and `bill-number`. This also points to a duplicate vendor record.
Before reporting a medium candidate, rule out recurring charges. Bills of the same amount from the same vendor about a month apart are usually rent or subscriptions. Call `intacct-get-recurring-bill` with the `vendor-id`; if an active template has that amount, drop the pair.
**Step 3: Check the evidence**
For each remaining candidate:
* Call `intacct-get-bill-line` with each bill's `record-number` as `bill-record-number`. Matching accounts and amounts strengthen the match; different accounts weaken it.
* Call `intacct-get-ap-payment-detail` with each bill's `record-number` as `bill-record-number`. Record whether each bill was paid, with its `payment-date` and `payment-amount`.
**Step 4: Report**
Sort candidates paid twice first, then high, then medium. One row per candidate group: confidence, vendor, bill numbers, bill dates, amounts, states, paid (both, one or neither), payment dates, and why they matched.
Then the total exposure: the amount already paid twice, and the amount that would be paid twice if the open copies went through.
Recommend, per group: stop the unpaid copy before the next payment run, or ask the vendor for a refund or credit where both were paid.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. No tool on this server voids or reverses a bill. Do not call `intacct-update-vendor`, `intacct-create-recurring-bill` or any other create or update tool.
* Present every group as a candidate to review, never as a confirmed duplicate.
* Pass dates as YYYY-MM-DD. If the user names an Intacct company, pass it as `company` on every call.
**Validation:**
* If no bills come back, say so and stop.
* If the bill call returns exactly `max-records` rows, say the sweep is incomplete and suggest a shorter window or a vendor filter.
* If nothing matches, say no duplicates were found and give the number of bills checked.Who it's for
One answer, three teams that use it
Accounts payable
Stop paying the same bill twice
Check for duplicates before each payment run so nothing goes out twice.
Are there any duplicate Intacct bills in the last 30 days that we have not paid yet?
AP managers
Recover money already paid twice
Pairs already paid twice are shown with the total exposure, ready for a refund request.
Which duplicate bills in Intacct this year were paid twice, and how much is at stake?
Internal auditors
Review duplicate risk by vendor
Focus on one vendor to test how bills are entered.
Check Contoso Supplies bills in Intacct for duplicates over the last 180 days.
