Achievement Payments

Hi, advise please

Which report would i be best using to find out if we have been paid an apprenticeship achievement payment for a specific learner?

The remittance advice we receive around 20th of each month doesn't break down payments learner by learner so its hard to reconcile the Period End Reports against what is actually received, as it invariably differs every month.

If any anyone has any good practice how they reconcile cash received vs planned payments in the various reports we get after submission, please let me know :)

All payments are broken down by apprentice in the Apps Monthly Payment Report in the period end reports.

Hi

*Except* the Monthly Payment Report *doesn't* show completion payments separately, just a big chunk of money in the levy/non-levy columns... So, you can infer it, but it's not in a separate column like it is on the indicative, annoyingly.

Dan, short answer is "no", I've spent three years trying to come up with something that isn't mind-bendingly complicated, not least because the indicative has a lot of problems (doesn't take off employer contributions where a learner is non-levy, has difficulties with calculating learners who've been on a break, doesn't know about DLOCKs, doesn't know when Completion has been withheld due to lack of PMRs etcetcetc).

When you add up the Total columns in the Monthly Payment Report it should match the big number at the bottom of the remittance (it's been right (give or take a penny) for at least two years), but breaking it down past that is also super difficult.

All I can tell you from my experience is that, past R01, the indicative basically *cannot* be right unless you've got an entirely steady state (no new starts, no breaks, no withdrawals, no completions) of Levy Apps where no one drops out of levy...
