How To Create SDR Export Files

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 reporting.

Before you begin:

Required Knowledge: SDR | Units | Course Offers | Unit Offers | Learners

The information provided is based on our interpretations of the requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are compliant. If you have any concerns or suggestions please contact us.

Set Up

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 need to complete SDR reporting, ensure you include the relevant SDR field collection and processes in your setup. Refer to the SDR Outline page for the specific sections and fields that must be correctly configured.

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)
  • INDENRL, INDLEAR and INDREGT 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 ENRL, LEAR and REGT

Note:

  • Only SDR courses that have enrolments in this SDR export will appear in the REGT. This might not be all your courses
  • Any differences between your STEO listing and your REGT 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 Single Data Return Manuals

These can be fixed in two ways:

  1. Individually. Go into each individual record and amend the field
  2. Multiple. If there are many records with the same error these can potentially be fixed by performing a bulk update. How to Bulk Update
