SDR Changes for 4.31 Service Pack 3

The following changes have been made to SDR for 4.31 Service Pack 3:

  • Due to the delay in receiving the 2020 SDR Manual from the Tertiary Education Council, the logic outlined in the 2019 SDR manual has been implemented into 2020 database views. The extract dates for the four returns represent logical dates in 2020, based on the dates provided in the 2019 manual. Tribal will review the implementation of the 2020 SDR once the TEC provide the manual to vendors and institutes.
  • The December 2019 and all 2020 extracts now display the value defined in FEES_FREE_ELIGIBLE field. The following values are valid for these extracts, but invalid for other 2019 extracts and must be replaced with a 'Y':

    • '8' - 2018 Starter
    • '9' - 2019 Starter
    • '0' - 2020 Starter
  • For the SumSDRFees and SumExemptFees database functions, fees are now only included for the year that the fees were charged to the learner (that is: the year the learner's enrolment started).

    This was already the case for the SumForeignFeesByPerson database function.
