The list of error fact sheets can help in rectifying errors (updated October 2022).

New Validations have been introduced October 2022:

  1. Compares duplicate activity with overlapping start and end dates. Nationally recognised subjects will generate an error and all other subjects will generate a warning where duplicate records have overlapping activity dates. Record comparison is based on:

  • Training organisation identifier, Unique student identifier, Subject identifier; or

  • Training organisation identifier, Client identifier, Subject identifier (if USI is blank/INTOFF/INDIV).

  1. Identifies duplicate activity where Outcome identifier = 20 (Competency) and/or 51 (RPL-G) for one or both of the reported records. Record comparison is based on:

  • Training organisation identifier, Unique student identifier, Subject identifier; or

  • Training organisation identifier, Client identifier, Subject identifier (if USI is blank/INTOFF/INDIV).

Example error received for student #10597336:
Duplicate record. A record already exists with this record's primary key.

Common Errors

...

Fix

...

Multiple claim – this Module/Competency has been claimed previously

...

This error will occur where:

  1. The student has already successfully completed the same unit of competency/module regardless of whether it was claimed under a subsidised program; and/or

  2. A change is reported to an existing VET activity data record (i.e. amendment to training Activity start and/or Activity end dates, Outcome identifier, etc.) that has already been paid/reported under an agreement. When VET activity data is changed by a SAS, the system identifies the unit of competency/module as being claimed twice. This is known as a “false multiple”.

    • Note: We refer to these as Data Correction

To fix:

  • Check supporting_details_2 column on validation report for information on what has previously been reporting for the error

  • Apply any Credit Transfers (60) wherever possible

  • If you cannot report the unit as a credit transfer due to insufficient evidence, the unit of competency/module should be reported as fee-for-service

  • If believed to be a false multiple, note as Data Correction on the spreadsheet and wait 3-4 reports to see if it clears on its own

    • If the original record is in the current financial year a false multiple will rectify itself, however payment will not be reinstated until the following month (if applicable).

    • If the VET activity data falls outside of the current financial year, the false multiple error will not clear and will remain on the Validation Report. Will need to be reported as fee-for-service or contact DESBT

  • For any exceptions to this funding rule, send an email along with supporting documentation to contractmanagement@desbt.qld.gov.au.

...

State funding not approved – Previously held qualification

...

This error will occur when:

  • Certificate 3 Guarantee - if the student already holds a Certificate III or higher-level qualification.

  • Higher Level Skills – if the student already holds a Certificate IV or higher-level qualification.

Having previously completed a qualification in most instances deems the student ineligible for funding. Exemptions include:

  • Completed in school

  • Strategix accidentally reported a completion date, and has since corrected this (student only completed the qualification once)

How do I fix it?

  • If the student is ineligible for further Government funding, remove the fund source code and the agreement number and report the training and assessment as fee-for service.

  • If you believe the student is eligible for an exception to the eligibility criteria of the funding program, send an email along with supporting documentation to your Contract Manager at contractmanagement@desbt.qld.gov.au.

The postcode/suburb combination is not a Delivery Area on the Australia Post list

This error will occur where:

  • The student’s post code is either missing or an invalid combination of post code and suburb

  • May not have been checked/updated after enrolment has been received

To fix:

  • Use aXcelerate’s in-built address function in the Update contact profile screen to populate the post code once the suburb is entered

  • Ensure both the Postal and Street Address fields are entered

  • Double check post code and suburb against https://auspost.com.au/postcode

Invalid Tuition Fees Supplied

This error will occur where:

  • No finance model is selected - The Tuition Fee/Plan: field updated with the finance model links through to the field "Client Tuition Fee: $XXX / subject" for the enrolment

  • Add in JT stuffff/ being overridden at the unit level etc..

To fix:

  • Double check what fees should be applied

  • Apply finance model where possible (if old finance model is deactivated, ask the Quality team to reactivate it temporarily)

AISS search not conducted

This error will occur where:

  • The AISS search either not done or

  • The AISS search was done, however the name or DOB is incorrect

To fix:

  • Check all student details and conduct new AISS check

  • Confirm funding eligibilty with new check

At school flag of Y is inconsistent with Labour force status identifer of '01'

This error will occur where:

  • The "At School:" field recorded in the VET Related Details (from the enrolment form) does not match the "Employment Status:" field - Refers to secondary school, and the employment status must be logical. For example, generally should not be At School but working Full Time.

To fix:

  • Double check details from enrolment form

  • Confirm with student if needed

  • Update either the "At School:" field or the "Employment Status:" field

You have assigned a Queensland Subsidy Contract Number but the State Fund Source Code is not compatible. Please check the allocation of this Fund Source code. It may affect your payments.

This error will occur where:

  • The enrolment fields “Funding Source (State):” and “Contract/Schedule:” do not match

To fix:

Training Agreement status was not active for the end date supplied for module/competency.

This error will occur where:

  • Traineeship extension form has not yet been processed by DESBT - May need to wait

To fix:

  • Check if student intends to continue course. If so, check the extension form has been signed and completed by the relevant parties and sent to DESBT for processing.

Warning - Training Contract has been terminated and Training has not been finalised.

This error will occur where:

  • Traineeship cancellation form has been processed by DESBT, and the enrolment on our end has not yet been finalised/withdrawn

To fix:

  • Review student progress on learning portal - ensure any Competencies or Withdrawns are pushed through to process withdrawal

  • Review Activity End Dates - ensure the date is within the training contract dates

    • Withdrawns can be back-dated to cancellation date

    • Competencies - Check with management

Note: This way around is not great, as we may not be able to claim and report outcomes (Withdrawns, Competencies etc) if the agreed date has already passed. There should be communication with the trainer/employer/AASN around what agreed date is required to allow time for processing on our end for reporting and claiming outcomes (withdrawns, comptencies, completions etc). We will not get paid if the dates are not suitable.

Your organisation is not recorded as the SRTO for this Apprentice/Trainee for the duration of the training activity.

This error will occur where:

  • Traineeship extension form has not yet been processed by DESBT OR

  • The traineeship completion form or cancellation form was completed with an agreed date that is before/after our Start and End dates.

Fix:

  • Check if student intends to continue course. If so, extension form has been signed and completed by the relevant parties and sent to DESBT for processing OR

  • Amendment form to correct the date.

More long-term solution to be discussed:

Withdrawn (40) outcome not supported - No record of Apprentice/Trainee training contract cancellation, withdrawal or change of SRTO.

This error will occur where:

  • Traineeship cancellation form has not yet been processed by DESBT.

Fix:

  • Check if cancellation form has been signed and completed by the relevant parties and sent to DESBT for processing.

Invalid Contract/Training Schedule number supplied.

This error will occur where:

  • Appears when contract/training number is blank and has not yet been received OR

  • Occasionally appears when an enrolment type is selected as Traineeship but actually isn't.

Fix:

  • Refer to the Training Downloads - Snapshot Changes report and Approved Contracts report in the Partner Portal. Once the contract details appear these can be added into the aXcelerate enrolment OR

  • Update enrolment type to "Other/Normal" if not a traineeship.

Common Errors

Fix

DQ_Overlaps

This error will occur where:

  • Multiple records of the same subject have been reported for the same student with overlapping dates

To fix:

  • Check the Activity Start Dates and Activity End Dates for the subjects, and ensure the dates do not overlap

DQ_Postcodes_StateID

This error will occur where:

  • The student’s post code is either missing or an invalid combination of post code and suburb

  • May not have been checked/updated after enrolment has been received

To fix:

  • Use aXcelerate’s in-built address function to populate the post code once the suburb is entered

  • Check post code and suburb against https://auspost.com.au/postcode

  • Ensure both the Postal and Street Address fields are entered

DQ_ProgramAudit

This error will occur where:

  • A student has been reported as Completed in the Program Completed (NAT00130) file, however, the number of reported competencies do not equal the competency count as outlined in the relevant Training Package rules on http://Training.gov.au (TGA).

To fix:

  • Find which units are not reporting - Compare aXcelerate enrolment against error list from department

  • Once identified, find out why they are not reporting -

    • Review all units to see if the Do NOT report AVETMISS checkbox is ticked on the unit level (start with any CT’s). If there is no logical reason or record of why this should be ticked, untick

    • Check the Student Log in the enrolment to confirm when competencies were applied. If a competency was applied for a previous collection year, it may not have been re-reported as of yet

    • Check any transitions (if applicable) were processed correctly
