Download Reconciliation Data

Before you can reconcile data, data must be downloaded from the ODS for comparison.

Follow the steps below to view and resolve discrepancies for available resources.

1. Switch to District Office using the school drop-down menu.
2. On the Start Page, click System under Setup in the main menu. 
3. Under the Data Exchange section, click Data Reconciliation. 
4. Select the Profile. 
5. Select the Organization. This field contains the district and schools that have discrepancies. It is only populated if there are discrepancies between the state ODS and PowerSchool.
6. Select the Resource. This field contains the resources that have discrepancies. It is only populated if there are discrepancies between the state ODS and PowerSchool.

Note: If there are no discrepancies or if the reconciliation download was not completed, then the values for the Organization and/or Resource fields will contain [NO DATA FOUND].
