The problem
Comparing an invoice to its tax record by eye
To confirm tax was recorded, someone opens an invoice in NetSuite and the matching Avalara AvaTax transaction side by side. Mismatched totals or dates are easy to overlook when comparing by eye.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the invoice in NetSuite
- Search AvaTax by code, then by customer and date
- Compare totals with and without tax by hand
- Miss a small difference in amount or date
With PopdockAI
- The invoice is read from NetSuite, stopping if it is ambiguous
- AvaTax is searched by code, then by customer, date and total
- Customer, date, total and status are compared field by field
- A clear verdict, with nothing created, voided or committed

**Objective:** Reconcile NetSuite invoice `{invoice-number}` with its AvaTax transaction and report whether they agree.
**Step 1: Read the invoice from NetSuite**
Call `netsuite-get-invoice` with `document-number` = `{invoice-number}`. If nothing returns, stop and say the invoice was not found. If more than one returns, list them (internal-id, customer, date, total) and stop.
**Step 2: Find the AvaTax transaction**
AvaTax transaction codes are normally the NetSuite document number. Call `avalara-avatax-get-transaction` with `code` = the invoice's `document-number` and `company` = `{company}`. If nothing returns, retry with `customer-code` = the invoice's `customer-id` and `date.from` and `date.to` both set to the invoice's `date`, and look for a transaction whose `total-amount` equals the invoice `total`. If still nothing, report the invoice as present in NetSuite and absent from AvaTax, and stop.
**Step 3: Report**
Show a table with these rows, NetSuite value against AvaTax value, and a Match or Differs flag: customer (`customer-id` vs `customer-code`), date (`date` vs `date`), total (`total` vs `total-amount` plus `total-tax`), status. Say whether the invoice total equals the AvaTax total amount plus tax, or only the amount. End with a one-line verdict: Reconciled, Differs, or Not in AvaTax.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Tools starting with netsuite-get are on the netsuite MCP server. Tools starting with avalara-avatax-get are on the avalara-avatax MCP server. Both servers must be connected.
* This prompt is read-only. Call only the get tools named above. Never call any avalara-avatax Action tool (for example `avalara-avatax-transaction-create`, `avalara-avatax-transaction-adjust`, `avalara-avatax-transaction-void` or `avalara-avatax-transaction-commit`), and never create or change anything in NetSuite.
* If `{company}` is empty, omit the `company` parameter on AvaTax calls.
**Validation:**
* If either date or total differs, state the size of the difference and do not guess which system is right.
* If the AvaTax document type is not a sales invoice type, say so.Who it's for

How it works
What PopdockAI does when you ask
You give an invoice number and your AI assistant compares it with its AvaTax transaction. It states the size of any difference without guessing which side is right, and only reads.
01
Ask
You give an invoice number and, if needed, the AvaTax company.
02
Read
It reads the invoice from NetSuite and stops if it is missing or ambiguous.
03
Find
It looks for the AvaTax transaction by code, then by customer, date and total.
04
Compare
It compares each field and ends with a verdict: reconciled, differs or not in AvaTax.
