LSD postcode issues

Created

Has anyone suddenly got loads of LSD Postcode errors after updating the reference data in FIS? I've updated to ref data version 7 this morning and now every single FM11 and FM38 that's not with a devolved authority is now an error.

Hi.  Yes same error as yourself.  We cant see that this is a "real" error as the postcodes in error are showing on the "Complete ASF Postcode dataset" and we have the correct SOF recorded against our learners in our system.

Clare Hancock yes ours are checked at enrolment and I've re-checked some on there so guessing that the rule isn't working properly. Have emailed the service desk so will see what they say, but it certainly gives you a fright when you have no valid learners!

We have also checked the "known issues" spreadsheet and LSDPostcode_06 is showing as active with "This rule is currently switched off whilst the implementation of the rule is investigated."  

I have raised a ticket with the ESFA also

Just opened FIS to see which reference data set I was on and it advised me to update to V8!!! So I guess they've spotted it and V8 will fix it!

Steve Hewitt let's hope so, that's tomorrow's job here!

Thank you Steve, that's reassuring and we do hope they will fix it. 

We have over 600 errors now and they keep mounting as the entries are made.

Thank you again.
