When I get a chance I'll update the Helper Tool to look for the new 'Unique ID' and use that in the first instance if available..

Hi Simon, I'm not aware of a more recent guide either.. I don't think there is one. Richard

I know the DSAT calculations for the similar report 23A-216 - "Actual off-the-job training hours" was wrong when the 22/23 online version was first released. We emailed the ESFA about it. I suppose they could have fixed this and a slight error in 23A-215? Not sure what else it would be if none of the data has changed between years.

I've just checked and our 23A-103 report does have those columns and is populated. Did you use an ILR file or an MDB one for your report? For the others Darren mentions, for us: 23A-213: Broken and giving a lot of false positives when we use an ILR file it thinks a lot of employers are non-small when they are marked as small in the file and in other reports. 23A-215: We are not aware of any issues in the report? 23A-216: Broken as the entries it's bringing up have met the 20% OTJ calculation.
