View Transactions with Errors

The Transactions with Errors page lists each SAIS upload file and the corresponding number of students with transaction errors. A transaction is a detailed record of a SAIS event that is built into a SAIS upload file. Transaction errors are provided by SAIS, in the form of a status file, as feedback on the transactions uploaded from PowerSchool.

The following pages can be used to view transactions with errors:

Transactions with Errors – Files with Errors

This page displays files with transactions errors. There should be only one file if every error is corrected prior to creating a new SAIS upload file. The following information is displayed on this page:

File Name – The name of the SAIS upload file. Only files from the current year that contain errors are displayed.
Number of Students with Errors – The number of students in the file with transaction errors. This is a link to the Transactions with Errors - Students with Errors page.

SAIS Transactions – All Students with Errors

To access this page, click the SAIS file name on the Files with Errors page. The page displays all students with errors in the file along with all of their errors. To view an individual error, click the Transaction ID. The errors are grouped by student, with the following attributes listed for each student:

SAIS File Name – The SAIS file name.
Student Name – The student's name.
Transaction ID – This is also known as the Vendor Record ID, the unique identifier for the transaction.
Status – Successful (processed in SAIS without errors), Uncorrected (processed in SAIS with errors and the errors have not been corrected), Corrected (processed in SAIS with errors, and the errors have been corrected).
Event Type – The type of transaction that was sent to SAIS, such as Enrollment, Attendance, Withdrawal, etc.
Event Action – Indicates whether the transaction was an add, a change, or a delete.
Response – The error from SAIS indicating the reason the transaction failed.
Action – A pop-up menu with the action options for this transaction. Use the following table to determine the best course of action:

Data Element	Additional Information
No action at this time	This error will be addressed in the future.
Acknowledge as OK	No corrective action is required. For example, no action may be required for an error message indicating that attendance for a particular day already exists in the SAIS database.
Send transaction again as-is	Choose this option if a precondition in SAIS was not met prior to processing a specific transaction, such as sending attendance transactions prior to the student's enrollment transaction. Indicate that the precondition has now been met and this transaction should be sent again with no changes.
Send transaction again with changes below	If the transaction type was appropriate, but the value in a specific data element was invalid, correct the data and send the transaction again. Note: Not all data elements may be edited. If the necessary change is in a field that cannot be edited, use the option to "Acknowledge error but will fix separately."
Acknowledge error but will fix separately	Choose this option if a field contains invalid data, but the field cannot be edited, or the correction requires separate and possibly unrelated changes.

SAIS Transactions – Transaction Detail

To access this page, click the Transaction ID on either the All Students with Errors page or the [individual] Student with Errors page. The page displays an individual transaction to be edited and resubmitted. Data edited on this page is not updated in the PowerSchool database. The purpose of this page is to create a duplicate transaction of the original transaction with the appropriate data. If the change should be made for the student, update the data on the appropriate page in PowerSchool immediately after making the change for the transaction. Use the following table to determine the best course of action:

Indicate that the precondition has now been met and this transaction should be sent again with no changes.
Send transaction again with changes below	If the transaction type was appropriate, but the value in a specific data element was invalid, correct the data and send the transaction again. Note: Not all data elements may be edited. If the necessary change is in a field that cannot be edited, use the option to "Acknowledge error but will fix separately."
