Desktop PICS Funding Reports in PICSWeb

Unlike Desktop PICS, the PICSWeb funding calculator generates only one Funding Calculator Report, with different calculations shown in different worksheets. This report contains details for all ILR funding, unlike Desktop PICS, which split between Employer Responsive (i.e. Adult) and Learner Responsive (i.e. Young Persons) calculations.

The table below lists each desktop funding report and explains both where it is found in PICSWeb (if it has been transferred over) and any differences between the two reports.

Employer Responsive - SFA Funding Summary

  • Summary

  • Funding Breakdown

  • The PICSWeb Summary worksheet will show a summary of earnings for each Funding Basis

  • The PICSWeb Funding Breakdown worksheet is based on the Desktop’s SFA Funding Summary worksheet with the following differences:

    • The data is shown in a tabular format, instead of desktop’s nested format, to allow for easier filtering and other processes associated with working with spreadsheets,

    • The Age band sections from Desktop have been replaced with Funding Line in the PICSWeb report to match those used by the ESFA

Employer Responsive - SFA Funding Detail

  • Funding Details

  • Year To Date

  • The information from Desktop PICS' Period PP-YYYY worksheet is now available in PICSWeb’s Funding Details worksheet

  • The information from Desktop PICS' YTD worksheet is now available in PICSWeb’s Year To Date worksheet

Employer Responsive - Calculation details

Various

The PICSWeb report contains a number of worksheets for calculation details for each of the Funding Methodologies used, for example FM35 Calc Dets and FM36 Calc Dets.

The FM36 Calc Dets differs from Desktop’s Calculation Details report in that it now shows the calculation details for each Price Episode instance instead of each period to match better with the ESFA’s Indicative / Monthly Payment reports.
