==Reconcile==__NOEDITSECTION__
Reconcile means "to make two sets of numbers add up to the same total" which with IMSMA terms is process of getting all different subsets of Mine Action information in a country (e.g. operators' clearance information) to a correct and coherent national database.
=== Subsection New or existing item ===__NOEDITSECTION__ Before a data entry may start, both at data providers such as operators and at National Mine Action Authority, the first and very important task is to determine if the piece of information that is received on a paper or as MAxml, does it already exist in the database or not? New information are of two different types:* information about a new item : For example a Land or a Victim that is previously not reported/entered into {{IMSMANG}}. The Land might have been contaminated 10 years ago or the Victim injured 5 years ago but from our {{IMSMANG}} perspective it is '''new''' due to it is in the database.* new information about an existing item: For example a polygon of a Land that previously did not have that recorded in the database or a correction of date of birth for a Victim. It should be outlined in the Data Entry SOP whose responsibility it is to determine if it is a new item or updating information about an existing item. form can be approved, you must decide whether the item records in the data entry form create new item records, update existing item records, or are associated with existing item records of different item types. This process is called ''reconciliation''.
New item records will create a new accident, land, activity, location, education, QM, assistance, or victim in IMSMA. [[New item records will need to be assigned to a location]].
