SINC0516E1: Mismatch of Student Incident Attributes

Incident Occurrence Date must be equal in all records with the same Incident ID Local

Official Version 18 validation

Severity: Fatal   Type: CDD

Incident Occurrence Date requires the same date on every SINC row sharing Incident ID Local.

Fields validated: 18.05 - School of Attendance

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the failed cross-file evidence

    Save student, school, Reporting LEA, academic year, Incident ID Local where applicable, all relevant dates, Incident Occurrence Date, and the records needed to establish the same date on every SINC row sharing Incident ID Local.

  2. 2

    Reconstruct the incident in the behavior system

    Use original incident documentation, participants, school, occurrence date, and local incident identifier.

  3. 3

    Compare every SINC row

    Check Academic Year, Reporting LEA, School of Attendance, SSID, Incident ID Local, and Incident Occurrence Date character for character.

  4. 4

    Distinguish duplication from multiple participants

    Confirm whether rows represent one student, different students in one event, or an accidental duplicate.

  5. 5

    Choose the supported identifier and school

    Follow the authoritative behavior record; do not renumber or move an incident merely to avoid validation.

  6. 6

    Correct the behavior-system source

    Repair duplicate generation, school attribution, date, or incident-key mapping.

  7. 7

    Rebuild the entire incident chain

    Regenerate SINC, SIRS, and SOFF together and confirm all rows share the supported keys.

Before closing the correction

  • The student, school, Reporting LEA, and academic year are correct.
  • Incident Occurrence Date is supported by authorized evidence.
  • the same date on every SINC row sharing Incident ID Local is supported on the relevant date.
  • All connected records and regenerated reports reconcile.
