Correction to ULN

Created

None

I have a batch of apprentices where a spreadsheet error has resulted in the ULNs being reported incorrectly on the RO7 and R08 return (their first) and on the DAS. 

I can revise the data in both places, but I have a dim memory of hearing that because ULNs are used by ESFA as the Primary Key we should not be changing submissions in this way.

Any advice?

Nah, it's fine, correct them.  As you can tell by being allowed to use the wrong one in both ILR and AS, they don't really talk to LRS in any meaningful way (I *think* it looks to check it exists, rather than just doing a checksum on the number, but doesn't match anything)

Thanks.

Alas my memory was right-  although it is possible to edit the ULN for an apprentice which hasn't started, once they have started and they have been included on an ILR, it cannot be changed on DAS.

 

The helpdesk advised:

1. the employer should stop the apprenticeship on DAS (stopping from month 1)

2. The employer can then set up a new apprenticeship starting month 1, and the provider can add the correct ULN.

3. The provider then amends the ILR and submits.

Well we learn something new every day, don't we! Thanks for Reporting Back Martin.
