Outstanding Issues in Production
Issue Number | Title | Issue / Description | Status | Published Date | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
539182 | Scheduled Validation SV00040 |
SV00040 is currently triggering incorrectly for unit enrolment records that have been reported with a remission reason code (E446) of '12'. | Under Investigation | 16/04/2024 | |
529552 | Scheduled Validation SV00087 | SV00087 is currently triggering for HDR records linked to a completed course where the course outcome date (E592) is on or after 1st January 2021. SV00087 should only trigger where the course outcome date (E592) is on or after 1st January 2022. For more information please see the 2021 HDR reporting article. | Under Investigation | 5/03/2024 | |
515539 | TCSI Data Entry file upload Course Prior Credit processing issue | The TCSI Data Entry Portal is currently not processing course prior credit consistently. This issue occurs when multiple course prior credit rows are included with the same basis and provider in the TCSI data file upload | Under Investigation | 2/02/2024 | |
503551 | Re-triggering TFN verification after period has concluded for TCSI Data Entry portal users | TCSI Data Entry portal users are unable to re-trigger TFN verification after the verification period has concluded (12 weeks), where the student details have not changed. | Under Investigation | 19/12/2023 | As an interim solution providers can update the student given name first (E403) to '9999', wait 30 minutes, and then re-report the correct E403 value to retrigger verification. |
454109 | RTV 10303 misfiring | RTV 10303 is being incorrectly triggering when providers attempt to report a RPL unit enrolment record with an EFTSL value of '0.000000001'. | Under Investigation | 11/09/2023 | As an interim solution the provider can report the RPl unit with a Unit of study status code (E355) of '4', a Recognition of prior learning code (E577) of 'Blank/NULL', and an EFTSL (E339) of '0.00000001'. Once successfully reported, providers can then patch/edit the RPL unit to a Unit of study status code of '5', the appropriate Recognition of prior learning code (E577), and EFTSL of '0.000000001' without triggering RTV 10303. |
453034 | Validations 10194 and 10201 | Updates to exit awards and course completions are made difficult by the interaction between real time validations 10194 and 10201. | Under Investigation | 07/09/2023 | |
288810 | Loan Status not updating | Some student loans are not being reversed/deleted when the provider updates the associated unit enrolment record to a non-loan student status code, reports the unit as early withdrawn or removes the HELP loan amount (E558). | Under Development | 11/07/2022 | Resolved for new and updated loans from Friday 30 September. Resolution of existing loan records under development. |
137498 | TFN and USI Verification messages | TFN and USI verification messages are remaining on the Provider Notification Report after the TFN or USI has been revised to Null or the student record has been deleted. | Under Development | 24/06/2022 | |
237385 | Scheduled Validation SV00083 |
Scheduled validation SV00083 is triggering incorrectly for:
For more information please see the Scheduled Validation fact sheet. |
Under Investigation | 22/04/2022 | This issue has been resolved for enabling courses. |
165485 | USI Verification | USI verification is only conducted once after being re-triggered after the verification period has concluded. Re-triggering USI verification should commence a new period of nightly verification. | Under Development | October 2021 | As an interim solution the provider can change student given name first (E403) to '9999' and then re-report E403 to trigger verification. |
138224 | Re-trigger USI Verification after 42 days | If a provider PATCHES data to the students record required for USI verification, the details should re-trigger the verification process even when there is no change to the details held in TCSI. | Under Development | September 2021 |

Upfront Discount Processing
- Units with census dates on or after 1 January 2023 are not subject to discount checking
Reporting of CHESSNs to TCSI
- Providers can no longer report, amend, or delete a student’s CHESSN. If a CHESSN is reported, amended or deleted from a student record, the action will not be stored in TCSI, and no fatal validation will be generated.

To ensure the highest level of accuracy when identifying students, a CHESSN will no longer be allocated to a student record until there is a verified E416: Tax File Number (TFN) or a verified E584: Unique student Identifier (USI). More information will be provided at the TCSI February Provider webinar on 21 February 2024. Further information is available in our CHESSN management in TCSI guide.
A number of validations have been added and amended to align with enhancements to the Student Learning Entitlements Management System (SLEMS), which manages the Student Learning Entitlement policy.
Real-time validations 10921 and 10922 have been added to address outstanding issue 238211. The validations permit remission of units with a $0 HELP loan but return a warning so providers can confirm the fee information was not accidentally removed.
A new warning 10923 has been added to inform providers when a unit reported results in the student’s available SLE amount being equal to or less than 2.0 SLE.
In addition, there has been work on backend maintenance, enhancements and resolving individual provider issues.

TCSI has been updated to allow VET Student Loans to be raised at the ATO where a unit is completed, failed or assessed for recognised prior learning before the census date (i.e. Unit of Study Status Code (E355) = ‘2’, ‘3’, or ‘5’). VET units that are withdrawn on or before the census date will not attract a loan (i.e. E355 = ‘1’ or ‘6’ and E601 <= E489).
Work is continuing on the backlog of units of study in TCSI that should have loans attached. A new issue (274104) has been raised to address the backlog of units.
