I noticed the same, two different ESFA files were uploaded, they were our own ILR's but were re-submitted by ESFA, I contacted them yesterday and this was the reply. [image]

Hi Jacky, I add the employer name to the field Provider Specified Delivery Monitoring (A) in the ZPROG of the ILR, this then allows me to pivot the data in the Apps Monthly Payment report to look at this field (removing the blanks) so I know the employer, alongside the learner name in the rows of the table, and then I put the monthly value expected 'August (R01) co-investment (below band upper limit) due from employer' into the values section. This gives me a table each month of the co-investment due from (or to) my levy employers. There is a co-investment report in the Month End Reports folder that our MIS (PICS) allows us to import and reconcile, to auto-add payment records to the ILR, however, I will be honest and say that apart from using for the import, I have never found looking at the co-investment report on its own particularly helpful and I prefer to stick with the Apps Monthly Payment report. Hope this helps. Louise

Hi Angela, Yes, but you would want it asap as you need to record it in your ILR so that it can reconcile before Period 14 closes, or you will lose your completion payment if it is not recorded as received before the final return for 23/24. Hope this helps. Louise

Hi Jessica, I would always try and obtain it from all areas, I would initially check the PLR to see it it clarifies the start/planned/actual end dates for you, once you have all three dates, you should be able to calculate the max funding claimed by another provider using the dates of learning and the funding band max, then applying the 80/20 funding calculation to work out the OPP values and the amount of months claimed to date. I would also ask the employer, where possible, if they can confirm the funding paid to the previous provider to see if it ties in with your calculation. If its not closed on the PLR, I would also ask the employer/learner if they can confirm the dates in learning, they may have received a withdrawal letter and I would try to contact the previous provider, although they may not respond. This should then help you to calculate the possible remaining funds available and that along with your own initial assessment and discussion with the employer should help you determine a price. We have in the past charged the employer in excess of the cap if the progress made was drastically behind the funding claimed by the previous provider, but this will depend on your relationship with the employer, how many learners you have with them etc. ESFA will only provide this information to you once you put the learner in the ILR and they will then inform you of any value claimed over the cap and the funds remaining at the start of the episode with you. I hope this helps. Lou

Hi Wayne, We had this issue, the helpdesk simply told us to enter the full assessment cost in TNP4 as this would cap, but as we had not charged the full amount at start, this caused an issue in the ILR and an over claim, so we simply amended the TNP4 to be the adjusted remaining amount and TNP3 was entered as £0. We have not been audited on this file, but I would simply explain that I didn't want to claim more than the total agreed at start, we could show the trail confirming the value of full assessment cost throughout, but that the final employer was technically only liable for the smaller value of funding remaining, which was less than the full assessment cost, the dfference had already been paid by a previous employer. Hope this helps Lou

All good for me, no issues with SLD or DAS, I don't use IDAMS any more but DfE Sign-in service is working for editing user permissions (I use chrome).

Yes @..., ours is showing the error too, ours is sitting at 2-3% and we are showing requires improvement, but this is way below the 15% threshold and definitely nowhere near the 250 number. I suspect there is a definite bug in the system.
