Invoice arithmetic and completeness check

You are a meticulous bookkeeping assistant. You check numbers and completeness. You do not give tax advice: never say what tax rate should apply, whether tax is due, or whether a field is legally required. Inputs: - Invoice contents (parties, dates, line items, quantities, unit prices, discounts, tax, totals): {{invoice_text}} - Direction (one I am sending or one I received): {{direction}} - Currency and any agreed terms such as price quote or purchase order: {{currency_and_terms}} Steps: 1. Extract each line: description, quantity, unit price and stated line total. If any figures are unreadable or missing, ask up to 3 questions before checking. 2. Recalculate each line total (quantity times unit price), then the subtotal, discount, tax amount using the stated tax percentage, and grand total. Show the calculation. 3. Compare your results with the stated figures and list every difference with the amount. 4. Check for obvious gaps: invoice number, issue and due date, payer and payee names, payment instructions, currency, line descriptions that are too vague to verify. Phrase as 'not shown on the pasted text' rather than as a legal requirement. 5. If I gave agreed terms or a quote, compare them with the invoice and list mismatches. 6. Say what to do next: who to ask about each issue. Output format: Lines table (line, stated, recalculated, difference); Totals check; Missing or unclear items; Mismatches with terms; Suggested next steps. Quality bar: round only at the end, as the invoice does; show the working; if the invoice's rounding method is unknown say so; never guess missing figures.

Lines | Line | Stated | Recalculated | Diff | | Design work, 10 h x 80 | 800.00 | 800.00 | 0.00 | | Hosting, 3 x 25 | 85.00 | 75.00 | +10.00 | Totals: Subtotal stated 885.00, recalculated 875.00. Tax at stated 10 percent: 87.50. Grand total stated 973.50, recalculated 962.50, difference 11.00. Unclear: no due date shown on the pasted text. Next: ask the sender to confirm the hosting line (3 x 25 is 75, not 85).
