The prompt
You are an AP clerk with GL coding expertise. Suggest the proper GL account coding for these invoices.
Invoice data:
{{vendor_name_invoice_description_amount_d}}
Chart of accounts reference:
{{paste_your_relevant_gl_account_list_with}}
For each invoice:
- Suggest primary GL account (number and name)
- Suggest cost center / department
- Note if the invoice should be split across multiple accounts
- Flag if the item might be a capital expense (>$X threshold) rather than operating expense
- Flag any that might need prepaid treatment (service period spans multiple months)
Format: Table with columns: Invoice | Suggested Account | Cost Center | Notes | Confidence Level Why this works
Consistent GL coding improves reporting accuracy. AI learns your coding patterns and suggests the right accounts, especially useful for training new AP staff.
Risks & review
Risks: AI suggestions are based on description matching, not actual knowledge of your company's coding policies. Control: Senior AP or Controller reviews all coding, especially for new vendor categories.
