What it does

When a supplier asks about an invoice, or one arrives by email, you do not need to search in several places. This prompt finds it from a number, a supplier or a rough amount, says if it is already in Moss and shows where it stands in approval, payment and export.

Use it for supplier queries and duplicate checks.

Prompt

Copy the prompt, then replace the highlighted placeholders in your AI assistant.

Invoice Status Lookup: Use Moss MCP
Use AskUserQuestion (clickable multiple choice) to collect [inputs] first. Offer my real entities from Moss as options. Ask me to type names, dates and numbers in chat. If I pick Other, ask again for the exact value.

INPUTS
• Entity: [choose an entity or All entities]
• Invoice number: [type an exact or partial number]
• Supplier: [type the name or part of the name]
• Amount: [type an exact or approximate amount]
• Time frame: [month or rough period]
• Upload: [invoice file to find the match in Moss, optional]

RULES
• Find out if the invoice is already in Moss and where it stands. Use the invoice number first, then supplier and amount, or read these details from the uploaded invoice.
• Search all statuses, drafts and rejected included, and say which status it has. If several invoices fit, show the best match first and up to 3 others.

OUTPUT
• The invoice in Moss: transaction ID, supplier, invoice number, date, due date, gross amount and status. If it is not in Moss, say what you searched.
• Where it stands: who approved it and when, or who still has to approve it, the payment status and the export state.
• Up to 3 other candidates, closest first.

How MCP works

MCP is an open standard that lets your LLM look things up in other tools. The Moss MCP gives it read access to your Moss data, so it answers from your real numbers.

01 · Connect

Link Moss to your LLM once

You sign in with your Moss account. After that, your LLM can reach Moss whenever you ask.

02 · Ask

Use a prompt in plain English

Your LLM asks the Moss MCP for what it needs, such as expenses, budgets, bank transactions or receipt files.

03 · Get

An answer from your own data

Lists, summaries and drafts based on what is in Moss. Nothing in Moss is changed.

What MCP can see

You stay in control. The Moss MCP only reads data. It can't change or pay anything.

FAQ

Yes, for the data. The connector reads your own Moss data, so you need a Moss account.
