The Learning aim reference is not valid in the LARS database for this Funding model and this Learning start date
This is wrong and needs correcting. It is not a judgement call.
In plain English
For new starts on or after 1 August 2021 and is 16-19 non apprenticeship then the learning aim start date must not be before the validity start date or be after the last date for new starts for the corresponding validity category in the Validity table in the LARS database
Why it matters
A record that fails this rule may be excluded from funding until the underlying data is corrected.

How to investigate
In your system
These steps are system-neutral: they describe what has to be true in the data, which is the same whatever software your college runs. We do not publish supplier screen paths we have not verified, because menu locations differ by version and by local configuration, and a confidently wrong instruction is worse than none.
System-neutral
- Read the official wording for this record in the source named below.
- Find the affected records in your own data using the fields listed.
- Trace each one back to the source system entry that produced it.
- Correct the cause in the source system rather than the generated file.
Building your own map of where each of these lives in your system is the most useful induction document an MIS team can have. How to build one.
How to fix it
Stop this happening again
Fixing the record clears this case. A control is what stops the next one, so each of these names what to do, who owns it and how often.
