Partner reconciliation

The issues raised when PartnerStack partners do not match the registry, and how each one is resolved.

Partner reconciliation

When a synced PartnerStack partner cannot be safely matched to the Activate partner registry, Activate raises a reconciliation issue instead of guessing. Issues are listed at Partners > Partner reconciliation in the client portal, and in the mirror at /admin/activate/mirror/{engagement}/partners/reconciliation.

The issue types

IssueRecommended resolution
Provider name is missingCorrect the name in PartnerStack and retry, or link to a known partner
Category is outside the captured Strategy baselineCreate the partner without that category, link it to an existing partner, or correct the category and retry
Partner name could not be matched safelyChoose the existing partner that owns this PartnerStack identity, or correct the data and retry
Provider identity belongs to another engagementCheck the PartnerStack tenant and credentials, then retry
Partner name and provider identity disagreeConfirm the correct partner and link it, or correct the provider record and retry

Each card shows what happened, the recommended resolution, the matched partner (if any), the region and when the issue was first observed.

The actions

ActionEffect
Create partnerCreates the partner and resolves the issue (category issues only)
Link partnerLinks the PartnerStack identity to an existing registry partner
Retry syncQueues a verified PartnerStack reconcile
Ignore issueCloses it without change. Use only when the record is meant to be out of scope.

Filter by Open, Resolved, Ignored or All. With nothing open, the page reads "PartnerStack and the canonical partner registry are currently reconciled."

Who resolves them

The client resolves issues in their portal. The mirror is read-only here ("Open the client portal to resolve, ignore, or retry an issue."). Your job is to spot open issues and guide the client. Where the fix belongs in PartnerStack, the client's PartnerStack admin makes it, then retries.

A "belongs to another engagement" issue usually means the wrong PartnerStack keys were submitted. Check the tenant before anything else. If needed, use Re-request keys on the Products tab.
