The prompt

"I recorded myself performing [task, e.g., the monthly FX revaluation run] and have the transcript (or my rough notes) here: [paste]. Turn it into a desktop procedure that a competent stand-in could follow during my vacation: 1. Numbered clicks/steps with system names, transaction codes, and exact field values 2. 'What good looks like' checkpoints after each major step (expected record counts, control totals) 3. Failure branches: the 3 most likely errors and exactly what to do 4. Prerequisites and timing (what must be done before, deadlines) Keep it under 2 pages. Mark any step where my transcript was unclear with [VERIFY]."

Sample output

**DTP: Monthly FX Revaluation (SAP FAGL_FCV)** *Prereqs:* month-end rates loaded (check OB08 has current-month EURSEK, EURNOK); all bank recs posted. 1. T-code FAGL_FCV → variant 'MONTHLY_PROD' 2. Valuation area: 20, period: current, **test run first** 3. ✅ Checkpoint: log shows ~340–360 items, delta < 500k absolute. If >500k → STOP, check OB08 rate typo 4. Remove test flag, execute, note session number in close checklist *Failure branch:* 'Period locked' → ask GL lead to open period via OB52 [VERIFY: who covers when GL lead is also out?]
