Learning delivery funding and monitoring

Records held against a single aim that carry funding, eligibility, support and monitoring information for that aim.

In full

Learning delivery funding and monitoring records pair a type with a code and sit against one aim. They cover areas such as the source of funding, eligibility for an entitlement, learning support, restart status and local monitoring.

Because they change the calculation rather than the validity of the record, errors here are usually found through funding reports and reconciliation rather than through validation.

The rules behind this
