Create or update Business Central locations accurately
For operations teams who want warehouse and site details right for shipping and receiving, by asking their AI assistant.
On this page
Connector
Connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, pick your AI tool and paste the prompt.
The problem
Overwrite the wrong location and shipping goes astray
Setting up a warehouse or updating a site's address means checking whether the location exists, getting the code format right and editing only what changed. Overwriting the wrong location confuses shipping and receiving.
Without PopdockAI
- Search locations by code and name
- Decide whether to create or edit
- Get the code format right by hand
- Overwrite another site's details by mistake
With PopdockAI
- One match means update, none means create
- Several matches are listed and it stops
- New codes are upper case and up to 10 characters
- You see the change first, and only changed fields are written
The prompt
Use this prompt
Copy it into any AI tool connected to PopdockAI. Swap the values in braces for your own.
**Objective:** Create or update the location `{location}` with the details in `{details}`.
Pass `{company}` as the company argument on every call. If `{company}` is empty, leave the company argument out so the connector's default company is used.
**Step 1: Look it up**
Call `business-central-get-location` with location-code set to `{location}`, then with name.contains. If one matches, this is an update; if several match, list them and stop; if none, this is a create.
**Step 2: Collect the fields**
From `{details}` take display-name, address-line-1, city, state, postal-code, country, phone-number and email. For a create, the code is required: at most 10 characters, upper case.
**Step 3: Preview and confirm**
For an update, show a before-and-after table. For a create, show the record. Ask for confirmation.
**Step 4: Apply**
After confirmation call either `business-central-create-location` once, or `business-central-update-location` once with code and only the changed fields. Re-read with `business-central-get-location` and show the result.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Do not call any create or update tool until the user has confirmed the exact values shown in the preview.
* Bin, receipt and shipment settings are not available through these tools; say so if asked.
**Validation:**
* If `{details}` is empty on a create, ask for at least a name and address.Who it's for
