SME Co-investment

Hi,  I am in the process checking payments for co-investment and we have a 16-18 apprentice, SME flag is applied, but they are showing as having co-investment due - does anyone know why this would be?

Thanks

Has the SME flag always been there? I've had issues where the flag was applied quite a while after they started and it can get messy, particularly if it's across years... It *should* zero off (in-year at least) once the flag is added though?

Also, make sure they were 18 or under on the start date (not 31 Aug), and that your price isn't above the band maximum.

Prior to R14 20/21 I made sure that all the flags were applied to employers where needed & the learners were 16-18 on the start date, but I have a few showing like this now - is there anything we can do about it as we may not receive the completion payments for these learners?

You'll need to contact ESFA so they can check out why there's co-investment due. Where are you seeing the due co-investment? Which report, and which column(s)? Was it for last year or this year?
