The problem

Explaining one GL variance takes three inquiries per period

To explain a variance on a general ledger account, accountants run the account inquiry, then the budget view, then drill into entries one period at a time. It takes a while, and large or undescribed entries are easy to overlook.

Without PopdockAI

  • Run the account inquiry for period balances
  • Open the budget view for the same year
  • Drill into journal entries period by period
  • Overlook large entries with no description

With PopdockAI

  • The account checked for type and status first
  • Period balances, budgets and transactions read together
  • Variances over 20 percent and the 10 largest postings
  • Partial totals flagged, and nothing changed

Prompt
**Objective:** Review activity on GL account `{account-number}` in `{company}` (default company if empty) for fiscal year `{fiscal-year}` (default current).

**Step 1: Confirm the account**

Call `powergp-online-get-accounts` with `account-number` equal to `{account-number}`. If nothing matches, retry with `account-description.contains`, list candidates and stop. Note `account-type`, `posting-type` and whether the account is active.

**Step 2: Balances and budget**

Call `powergp-online-get-accountperiodbalances` and `powergp-online-get-accountbudgets` with the account number. Compare `period-balance` with `budget-amount` by fiscal period.

**Step 3: Transactions**

Call `powergp-online-get-gltransactions` with the account number and `transaction-date.from` and `transaction-date.to` for the year, `max-records` 500. Find the 10 largest debits and credits and any entries with a blank `transaction-description`.

**Step 4: Report**

Period table of actual, budget, variance and variance percent. Flag periods varying more than 20 percent, list the largest transactions with journal entry, date and description, and note entries with no description.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* This prompt is read-only. Only the get tools on this server exist; never try to change, post, approve, release or delete anything in Dynamics GP.
* Do not call payroll tools.
* State if the transaction call hit the record limit, because totals would then be partial.

**Validation:**

* If budgets are empty, report actuals only.
