If you are required to complete SDR reporting, it is important that you incorporate specific SDR field collection and processes when you are setting up the basics for course delivery such as, Course offer, Learner and Enrolment setup. The requirements change slightly depending on how you set up your Wisenet database for correct reporting.
Before you begin:

Successful SDR Reporting
Each Tab represents a different stage in your SDR reporting. Click on each Tab for instructions on what needs to be completed for successful reporting.
Note: This is NOT a step-by-step on how to set up for Course delivery. The basics should already have been set up in Wisenet before setting up for correct reporting for SDR.
If you are required to complete SDR reporting, it is important that you incorporate specific SDR field collection and processes into your Set Up. Refer to the SDR Outline page for specific Sections and Fields that are crucial to set up correctly.

The Indicative Return
For the new indicative return due on the 10th week of the year which requires only COUR, STUD and CREG files to be uploaded:
- Run your SDR as usual. Select Indicative (March)
- INDCOUR, INDSTUD and INDCREG files will appear in the zip file. These are the 3 files of the Indicative SDR Return. They have the same fields and logic as COUR, STUD and CREG
Note:
- Only SDR courses that have enrolments in this SDR export will appear in the CREG. This might not be all your courses
- Any differences between your STEO listing and your CREG file will come up as change requests
After Submission
After your export has been submitted there may still be errors.
These errors descriptions and how to fix them can be found on the SDR Export Errors page or refer to the 2017 SDR Manual
These can be fixed in two ways:
- Individually. Go into each individual record and amend the field
- Multiple. If there are many records with the same error these can potentially be fixed by performing a bulk update. How to Bulk Update
