Just to clarify - PICS will only send aim end details such as end date, withdrawal reason etc. if the aim ended before the end of the year being exported. For aims ended after year end it will send Completion Status 1 (Continuing) and no other aim end fields.

Hi Clare, I noticed this last week, it definitely seems to be a bug with the data extracts where funding_qualifying_period_excl is TRUE (should be 1 according to the spec but that's a separate issue), but the qar_status is set to QAR Inclusion (again not quite matching the spec) whereas it should be QAR Exclusion. It seemed to be affecting all records. I've reported it to DfE but am yet to receive a response. James

Hi Benjamin. As I suspected it was a mistake with the schema and the ESFA released a new version yesterday. See https://guidance.submit-learner-data.service.gov.uk/23-24/ilr/appendices

It appears that there is a difference between the published 2023 ILR schema and the schema being used to validate files in the FIS/SLD. The published schema requires NETFEE to come before SPECFEE, but last year this was the other way around. I suspect this is a mistake and has been fixed in the FIS/SLD but new schema files haven't been published. For those using a MIS it will need adjusting to reorder the fields so they are written in a different order when generating the ILR.
