Bromcom Finance and DTSApps – Download and Reformat process PLYMOUTH SCHOOLS

This FAQ is for Plymouth Schools and explains how to reformat your reconciliation file downloaded from DfE S2S to ensure it can be imported into Bromcom Finance.

  1. Download your relevant reconciliation files from DfE School to School
  2. Unzip your file using 7 zip and your Plymouth credentials (Please ensure that the file size is above 0KB, if it shows as 0KB this can indicate that the incorrect password was entered).
  3. Log into DTSApps with your login credentials
  4.  From the menu on the left, click “Reformat”
  5. Click upload from file and browse to the location of your newly downloaded reconciliation files and select one file at a time to process.  These files are in transmission number order, please import oldest first.
  6. The formatted file will in appear in the green window “Files ready to download” click the green “Download” button to download the .TXT file, which will then show in your downloads folder with the short file name as shown in the screen shot above. If there is no option to ‘Download’ this is because the file number does not match the next ‘Expected’ transmission number. You will need to upload the next expected file to continue.
  7. It is up to the individual school on how you manage your files, shared locations etc.
  8. You will need to repeat the above steps for each file you download from your local authority
  9. Your formatted file is now ready for import into Bromcom as follows : Modules > Finance> Homepage> Routines> Automatic Reconciliation> Import
