Hi Steve
Yes we have migrated data entered last year, where the member of staff didn't have an employment end date, over to the 2022/23 collection.
This has been done this for all providers not just those that used the on-line form, so a provider who used the XML option last year could use the on-line form to update the data should they wish to do so. The migrated data will be over written if a provider makes an XML submission.
Faith Tombs is there a known issue with the FE staff data desktop application regarding the employment end date?
All my active staff are showing with an error CF_EmploymentEndDate_01 because there is no date in the employment end date field but the specification says this field should only be completed if they staff have left the organisation during the collection year.
This error isn't listed in the FEW XML validation rules file either - its BR_ instead of CF_. Looks as though this is a change from a warning to an error so something isn't working since the change.
Karen Simmons Morning Karen, I've checked in with the team this morning and they are aware of this issue. They released a fix yesterday so please download the latest version of the Desktop Application which should resolve the issue you're having. Any further problems, drop us a message via the web form. Thanks!
Thank you Faith Tombs, downloaded the new version and its fixed the issue.
