Thanks Steve, We've been using our PowerBI reports so are fairly confident with the Data but just wanted that ESFA Official Report to double-check it.

Thanks for that comment Jessica. I must have missed that when looking through the updated Guidance. Hopefully that means it is sorted with the R11 Claim!

Hi Steve, this is showing on both the Monthly Apprenticeship Payment Report and on both Co-Investment Reports. I've also made a ticket to the ESFA but wanted to see if this was a common issue, or if this is just for us.

Hi Martin, We've already been linked to these Organisations using the DfE's new process and they've provided us with the relevant permissions. There just doesn't seem to be an option to choose between organisations like there is when I attempt to log in to the Submit Learner Data Portal

Hi Laura,  I've not noticed any issues previously with late payment of the Invoice. I believe they will just show within the different funding year when you check your co-investment report.

Thanks Ben, I'll send a message over to KPMG. It's brought it to the forefront as we've recently had an ESFA Audit and the auditor was asking us to update our Planned Hours to match the average figure in the PDSAT. We tried to explain the ESFA's PDSAT error but have to had update the Planned Hours at their request, even though we know the ESFA aren't using the accurate data.
