NLM22 and NLM21 cannot be recorded for the same learner
This is wrong and needs correcting. It is not a judgement call.
In plain English
Where the Learner Funding and Monitoring type NLM 21 (Learner repeating up to one full final year of 16-19 funded provision) is returned, then NLM 22 (Learner in receipt of 16-19 tuition fund) must not be returned for the same learner
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 We do not publish supplier screen paths we have not verified, because menu locations differ by version and by local configuration, and a confidently wrong instruction is worse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.
