AutoReconciliation uses the monthly SAS report delivered to your school’s SAIG mailbox during the first full weekend of each month. The monthly SAS report for the Loan Detail is only available as year to date on the monthly SAS report, AutoReconciliation uses the year to date loan activity information in its calculations. The reports must be in a fixed-length flat file and have the following message classes:
Direct Loans DSLFYYOP
Pell Grant PGRCYYOP (Note: Pell uses the Pell Reconciliation File report rather than the Pell SAS report)
TEACH Grant THSYYYOP
