Missing information in PDSAT report

Created

We have huge chunks of information missing in our PDSAT reports, information that we know to be present in our ILR. For example, columns AM-AR are missing from 23A-103 (all the employer and employment information). On a previous report we were missing the learning aim title information on all relevant pages. I'm about to re-upload and re-download but has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Yes we have the same issue with the 23A-103 report. We also have 3 reports with zero learners on them, but we know that there should be some learners to investigate on there (namely 23A-213, 23A-215, 23A-216)

I've just checked and our 23A-103 report does have those columns and is populated. Did you use an ILR file or an MDB one for your report?

For the others Darren mentions, for us:

23A-213: Broken and giving a lot of false positives when we use an ILR file it thinks a lot of employers are non-small when they are marked as small in the file and in other reports.

23A-215: We are not aware of any issues in the report?

23A-216: Broken as the entries it's bringing up have met the 20% OTJ calculation.

Thanks Darren, thanks Richard. Interesting to hear we're not the only ones. We used an XML ILR file and it used to work just fine with the old software. I'm going to drop KPMG an email and see if this is something they're aware of and working on.

Hi Ruth,

We've made ESFA aware of this some months ago, they were working on it..

I got a response from KPMG:

"We are aware of a small issue relating to a number of reports for an ILR return, and have an update which we are looking to release soon.

"Until we release this update, we suggest uploading your ILR through the FIS and then uploading the FIS to PDSAT, and your reports will be correctly populated."

I can confirm that the ILR through FIS and then to PDSAT didn't populate the missing areas.

Thanks Emma
