Current Issues

  • LRS Integration is producing an HTTP 500 error when trying to contact LRS. We are working on a fix.

Resolved Issues

  • Error LearnDelFAMType_22: The 2023 Full or co-funding indicator (FFI FAM) must not be recorded for aims with Funding Model 10 is being reported incorrectly for Community Learning (Funding Model 10) aims. This can be safely ignored and will be removed in the next release.

  • Funding reconciliation is currently not showing correct data on the tabs

  • Due to the ESFA changing variable names in the QAR data extracts, the QAR reconciler is currently reporting differences which are incorrect.

  • If the 'Achievement Date' (for a completion) or 'Learning Actual End Date' (for a break-in-learning or a withdrawal) -- which the ACT FAM's 'Valid To' date must match with -- would be on or after 01/08/2024 (in 2024/25); Then the PICSWeb validation will currently incorrectly flag them as an R121 or R122 ILR validation error; as PICSWeb is failing to recognise the ACT FAM 'Valid To' date in 2024/25 that's been entered. These incorrectly-triggered R121 or R122 validation errors in PICSWeb will not actually be triggered for ILR submissions to the ESFA, and can be safely ignored.

  • Saved interactive reports can error when creating the charts with an error “Unable to cast object…”.

  • There is currently an issue with editing permissions for a user or user group. Where saving would cause most permissions to not save and the user or group would lose access to features controlled by the lost permissions. A hotfix is being worked on to fix this tonight.

  • New Officer records cannot be created from the ‘Officers’ list successfully. A fix is being released overnight tonight; but in the meantime, new Officer records can still be created successfully using the “Create Officer” action within the ‘Officers’ tab of an ‘Organisation’ record.

  • Some WebForms are failing with the error "Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source')"

  • Attempting to upload file attachments when signing a web form will fail with an error “Object reference not set to an instance of an object”.

  • Some reports failing to run with “APPLY operator is not supported by Advantage” is being investigated. The root cause has been identified and a fix is being prepared.
    This is caused by including latest Functional Skills Assessment results in reports with > 10,000 Learners or Applicants. Reduce the number of Learners or Applicants in the report until a fix is released.

  • Creating a learner with qualifications that has criteria linked would error on the Additional Tab. As a workaround, pressing save a second time will allow the record to save

  • R121/R122 errors when the dates of the Actual End or Achievement dates do match with ACT Valid To date, but error shows - known issue if dates fall on or after 1st August as in to the new ILR year. Errors should stop after the August release

  • The “Has Current Learners” filter on Organisation Reports is including records linked to Applicant records. This is being fixed for the next planned release on 9th June.

  • Clicking the View in Cognassist button for a learner or applicant will just open a 404 error page.

  • Running a report with custom relationship types selected as an optional output may cause the report to fail with a ‘Value cannot be null’ error.

  • Running a funding late notified report with UDFs or custom replationship types being output will fail with a ‘Input string was not in a correct format’ error.
