I was just searching for the answer to this question myself, but I couldn't find it either. It would also be very helpful to know when the 2024/25 funding rules will be published as well. Henry Wish, do you have any insight into when these documents will be available?

David Dalby, Here are some ideas for you to check 1) are you using version 2223.4 of the application? 2) what method did you use to delete the old data from the application before you rekeyed the single test record? I deleted old data from the data menu, then delete all data command. I think this might delete only visible data, so best to remove all screen filters before deleting. 3) Which XML file did you actually upload to the website? On the application, did you press the button named "Export data" to make an XML file? I have no idea if this "Export" file is different to the file that results from simply saving the data.

David Dalby, after I had two consecutive files with "failed" reports, I just left it, and the reports for the latest submission processed automatically about 10 minutes later.

Faith T, my latest file has now process reports automatically, so there is no need to resubmit.

Hello Faith T, I have just tried to upload files to the website, but my problem seems to be different to Neil and Nicola Hubbard. I did successfully upload two files, but the reports page shows the reports status as "Failed". Will I need to upload these files again, or will the reports process automatically when you have fixed the problem?

Here is another related query. I have downloaded the three spreadsheet-friendly data files from here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/adult-education-budget-aeb-postcode-files#full-publication-update-history The files themselves don't seem to have any marker, date stamp or version number to show when they were created, yet the website update history says that the postcode datasets were updated on 10/08/2023. Looking in the files, there is no "valid from" date after 1/11/2022. So, I wonder if this means that all postcodes added after 1/11/2022 have a "valid from" date back-dated to 1/11/2022?

Thank you Timmo, That must be the relevant part. I thought it was surprisingly difficult to find, especially as they could have linked directly to that paragraph instead of linking to the main PSM page. So, learners whose postcode is not in the postcode dataset can be funded by all providers, regardless of the devolved area boundaries (so long as the postcode is recorded as ZZ99 9ZZ).

continues...... I have checked the provider support manual, but can find no guidance about what to do when the postcode is absent from the dataset. This situation must crop up regularly when new postcodes are created, so there must be an established process for dealing with it, but I just can't find it.

Hello Henry Wish, I can't find any release notes for the FIS 23/24 release. I have checked the following page, but there are no notes for 2023/24: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/check-how-accurate-your-ilr-data-is-with-fis Are there any changes to specification of the FIS for 23/24?

Henry Wish Hello Henry, I'm picking up this issue with the R108 rule as I'd like to know if the validation rule is a correct implementation of the funding rules. When a learner only has aims funded by FM10, there is no need to return D&P data, and R108 does not trigger the error condition. But, if a learner has an FM35 aim, and has a valid D&P record, and then subsequently has an FM10 aim in the same academic year, then R108 does trigger the error condition unless a new D&P record is returned with an outcome start date after the FM10 aim has ended. I have noticed that this rule still stands for 2023/24, but could you confirm if the rule is correctly implemented, please?
