This SENR ODS Audit process is designed to take the CALPADS ODS SENR Extract files and validate the data against what is currently known in Aeries and output files for the current year. This process will adjust CALPADS data to be aligned with Aeries data. 

When running the process in the current year at the beginning of the school year, the previous year’s enrollment must be closed out. 

When running the process at the end of the school year (within14 days of the last school day), the SENR ODS process will include the Exit codes of E155 and E156 exit codes to close out the enrollments.

Districts will need to download a Student Enrollment ODS download file from CALPADS and import it into Aeries. The file will be loaded on the ODS Reconciliations tab under SENR ODS and a new batch of files will be created, then sent back to CALPADS with the corrections needed.

Note:  This process should only be run in the current year. This process should not be run in prior years. 

Below is an overview of the SENR ODS Audit, with detailed instructions to follow:

1. Download the full CALPADS SSID Enrollment ODS Download-SENR file from CALPADS > ODS Extracts
2. In the current year, import the CALPADS SSID Enrollment ODS Download file into Aeries using the Select SENR ODS Extract File button on the CALPADS Extracts form, ODS Reconciliations, SELA Import tab.
3. Click on the Load File, Evaluate, and Create New SENR File button. A new SENR zip file will be created.
4. Upload the new files to CALPADS in order. *Files are numbered 001-REMOVALS, 002-EXITS, 003-UPDATES.  

       **Zip files need to be extracted and uploaded in sequential order.
