No see the guidance:
If an apprentice is made redundant, you must record this in a new Learner Employment Status record with Employment status code 11 or 12, as applicable. While the apprentice is eligible to continue their programme (see the apprenticeship funding rules), an Apprenticeship contract FAM type of ACT1 or ACT2 corresponding to the most recent employment period must remain in place without an end date in order to receive payment. If a new employer is found for the apprentice, then a new apprenticeship contract FAM type and a new negotiated price record must be recorded for the start of the period of learning with the new employer.
If an apprentice becomes unemployed and is not eligible to continue their programme, they must be withdrawn from the apprenticeship.
We have 2 apprentices who have been made redundant and we followed the guidance by changing employment status to 11. We left the contract type as ACT1. We tried to submit this for R12 but got errors on our rule violation report with a UKPRN_13 code to say there was no funding relationship.
We took some advice and then changed the contract type to ACT2 and added the date it applies from along with an ESM type code and got the same UPRN_13 error.
We have tried changing the record back to ACT1 and get the same UKPRN_13 error code.
What am I doing wrong and I do I resolve this? Any help is gratefully received.

When a learner has been made redundant and they fall into the cohort that they wish to continue with their apprenticeship, I know that we change their employment status to unemployed, but do we also close the existing ACT with a closure date and complete a new ACT Code with the start date to match the new unemployment status?
