Types of Data Imported from COD
The following file types from Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) can be imported into PowerFAIDS:
Multiple Reporting Records
The Multiple Reporting Record (MRR) is used to notify schools of possible overaward or concurrent enrollment situations that may arise for a student, so that the affected awards can be reviewed for any necessary adjustments. These records are sent for Federal Pell and TEACH Grants.
When you import an MRR file to PowerFAIDS, you will need to select whether it applies to a Federal Pell or a Federal TEACH Grant.
Once the file is successfully imported, you can view the associated data on the student record from the associated page under Packaging, either Federal Pell Grant or Federal Teach Grant. From the associated page, select +Multiple Reporting Records from the Tools menu.
If the option cannot be selected from the menu, no MRRs are available for the student. For more information, see:
- Resolving Multiple Reporting Records for Federal Pell Grants
- Resolving Multiple Reporting Records for Federal TEACH Grants
Response Files
For all Common Records received and processed by COD, the COD system returns a response file indicating the processing status along with any rejected data elements and the reason for the rejection.
When you import a response file to PowerFAIDS, you can also choose whether or not to also post other records from the dashboard that have been imported but not posted. For more information, see COD Import Dashboard.
PowerFAIDS automatically recognizes the type of response file being imported and posts the information accordingly:
Note: In the Message Class column, XX represents the year indicator.
