The rules behind this
Corrections should be made in the source system that owns the data, then regenerated into the ILR. Editing an ILR file directly leaves the source system wrong and the error returns at the next generation.
Appearing on a data-quality or funding-monitoring report usually means a record has been flagged for investigation, not that it is confirmed wrong. Some flagged records are entirely correct and simply need evidence.
