The problem
Was the order imported, invoiced or paid
Someone chases a BigCommerce order into Business Central by searching two admin screens. They cannot easily tell whether it was imported, invoiced or paid, or whether the lines and totals made the trip intact.
Without PopdockAI
- Open the order in BigCommerce
- Search Business Central by external document number
- Compare lines and amounts by eye
- Look for the posted invoice separately
With PopdockAI
- The order and lines are read from BigCommerce
- The Business Central document with the order id is followed to its posted invoice
- Line count, quantities and amounts are compared
- Both totals are shown before any gap is called an error, nothing changed

**Objective:** Trace BigCommerce order `{order-id}` into Business Central and report how far it has progressed.
**Step 1: Read the order in BigCommerce**
Call `bigcommerce-get-order` with `id` = `{order-id}`. If nothing returns, say so and stop. Keep `id`, `status`, `total-including-tax`, `refunded-amount`, `billing-email` and `date-created`. Then call `bigcommerce-get-order-product` with `order-id` = `{order-id}` for the lines (sku, quantity, total-including-tax).
**Step 2: Find the sales document in Business Central**
Call `business-central-get-sales-transaction` with `external-document-number` = `{order-id}`. If `{company}` is given, pass it as `company`. If nothing returns, report the order as not yet in Business Central, state the BigCommerce billing email, and skip to Step 4.
**Step 3: Follow it through posting**
If a document is found, call `business-central-get-sales-transaction-line` with its `document-number` and compare line count, quantities and amounts to the BigCommerce lines. Then call `business-central-get-posted-sales-invoice` with `external-document-number` = `{order-id}` (or `order-number` = the document number) and note `invoice-number`, `total-amount-including-tax` and `remaining-amount`.
**Step 4: Report**
A short timeline: BigCommerce order (status, total) -> Business Central document (number, type, status) -> posted invoice (number, remaining amount). Then a list of discrepancies: total mismatches, missing lines, quantity gaps.
**Rules & Guidelines:**
* Tools whose names start with bigcommerce- are on the bigcommerce server; tools whose names start with business-central- are on the business-central server. Both must be connected.
* Read-only: do not call any `-add`, `-update`, `-delete`, `-create` tool on either server.
**Validation:**
* Order ids are matched as text; the Business Central `external-document-number` is expected to hold the BigCommerce order id.
* If several Business Central documents match, list them all and compare against each.
* A total gap can come from tax or shipping; show both totals and say which is which instead of calling it an error.Who it's for
