The problem
Missing tax IDs surface right before the 1099 deadline
1099 prep means working out what each vendor was paid from bills and payments held in separate places. Vendors over the threshold with no tax ID are missed until the deadline.
Without PopdockAI
- List 1099 vendors in FreshBooks
- Export bill payments for the year
- Link each payment to a vendor
- Discover missing tax IDs too late
With PopdockAI
- Vendors marked as 1099 are listed
- Bill payments are linked to vendors through their bills
- Totals per vendor and currency are reported
- Vendors over 600 with no tax ID are flagged, nothing edited

**Objective:** Total the spend with 1099 vendors from {from-date} to {to-date}.
**Step 1: Vendors**
If `{company}` is not empty, pass it as `company` on every call; otherwise omit `company`. Call `freshbooks-get-vendor` with `is-1099` true.
**Step 2: Payments**
Call `freshbooks-get-bill-payment` with `paid-date.from` {from-date} and `paid-date.to` {to-date}. Call `freshbooks-get-bill` with `issue-date.from` {from-date} and `issue-date.to` {to-date}, and use each bill's `vendor-id` to link payments (`bill-id`) to vendors.
**Step 3: Report**
Per vendor: name, total paid per `currency-code`, number of payments, and whether `tax-id`, `country` and `email` are present. Flag vendors above 600 in total with no `tax-id`.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* This prompt is read-only. Never call any `freshbooks-add-*`, `freshbooks-update-*`, `freshbooks-delete-*`, `freshbooks-mark-invoice-as-sent` or `freshbooks-send-invoice-by-email` tool.
**Validation:**
* If no vendors are marked 1099, say so and stop.
* State that totals are based on recorded bill payments only.Who it's for
