Hi Emily
Which student record system is it? I know EBS wasn't doing this correctly, think the fix is in SP2 (I'm guessing here based on your use of "FY" which is a pretty EBS-specific term ;)), although SP3 is out next week, so you might want to wait for that...
More broadly, it seems ALL of the software houses have had an absolute nightmare this year. I know it's the biggest change in a decade, but seriously, never known anything like it. It's not like the ILR spec was late, most of this has been out since January, they've just all dropped the ball...
So 05 is "this isn't a real postcode" which can occur if you've not got a postcode checker like AFD (other products are available!) linked to your student record system and people put zeroes that should be the letter O and other typos/miskeying... Usually a training issue to make sure all the data entry people know how a postcode works. There are also occasionally issues with new builds because the DfE postcode dataset tends to lag 3-6 months behind the "official" list, but they shouldn't be that numerous...
06 is "this learner doesn't live in the place that the Source of Funding says they live" which, if you're delivering in borderlands around devolved areas, is almost impossible to get 100% correct in any system that I've seen (because SoF is usually linked to the aim/course, rather than the learner) BUT would also fire if it was a typo (because the incorrect postcode wouldn't be on the list for that SoF).

Hello,
We have a large number of errors on this error code LSDPostcode_05. We've checked some of the records and the date and FY is looking correct. But it is not pulling into our ILR. Has anyone else had this issue and have a resolve of this?
Thanks
