Understanding External Award Processing

A core set of External Award Staging records maintain the external award transaction data. Each transaction is keyed with a set of values and has a processing status that indicates the loading of that transaction into the student award records.

The following diagram provides a high-level flow of the various data sources that update the core set of External Award Staging tables. After external award data or transactions have been updated to the staging tables, a separate External Award Load process is run to determine whether and how the external award data is to update the student award tables.
