LearnAimRef_117 Error

Created

None

Hi, I have run an ILR file through this morning only to find some LearnAimRef_117 errors have appeared that had never been there before. It states 'The Learning aim reference is not valid in the LARS database for this Funding model for this teaching year'. This relates to functional skills aims that were either achieved or withdrawn in the 20/21 academic year, where the apprenticeship ZPROG appears in 22/23 (a lot of our apprenticeships run for 3 years). Is this an ESFA issue with why it has suddenly appeared? I'm not sure what to do with them as the reporting of the achievements or withdrawals is correct. Thank you.

Hi, I have the same issue - 58 errors suddenly appeared. All old FS learning aims starting with 601 for learners that shouldn't even be in this years ILR?!

Good morning

I have the same issue, all appear to be related to qualifications that ended in June/July 2021, these haven't been an issue until this morning's FIS check.

Well, here's interesting...

There's no such rule in the last version of the Rule Validation spreadsheet (V5 from January), that only goes up to LearnAimRef_113, so looks like they've just applied a rule a little hastily. Good thing it's not the end of the month!

Wouldn't worry about it this week, looks like a glitch at their end to me.

Good morning all, I also have 3 Learners with the same errior and also another 30 Warning as that I must Record their OTJ hours on the ILR, however, these are all old learners who started before the rule came in!

This just in from the ILR team:

We have amended the error to a warning as it was incorrectly triggering on functional skills learning aims and Apprenticeships, the new version of the validation rule is being published later today.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Thank you for the update, Steve!

Hi all,

 The validation rule LearnAimRef_117 has been switched to a warning while a defect is corrected, please resubmit your data which will change the errors to warnings in your data, the ILR team are also publishing version 6 of the validation rule specification this afternoon and the ESFA known issues log is being updated.

Cheers,

 Henry
