To understand the business process requirements to generate and submit the various DEEWR files, it is important to understand the relationships between processes and file output.

This section discusses:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicStudent Data Files with Multiple Reporting Periods Per Year and Revision Requirements

Most files in the Student Data collection (EN, LL, DU, SS, OS) rely on a prerequisite work process to extract the data to be reported. This process populates work data records with the base data for reporting, and in the case of enrollment data, key information that is common to multiple file extracts. Each of these data tables contains a submission date field. The processes to generate the flat file extracts report data only from the work records with a blank submission date.

When the flat files are submitted to DEEWR, the work data records are 'stamped' with a submission date. This process populates the submission date field to acknowledge that the data was submitted to DEEWR. These records are no longer reported in the flat file extracts for the related files if they are run again for the same reporting period. You can run the prerequisite process to load the work data records as many times as necessary prior to submission to 'refresh' the population for reporting.

When the process is re-run, any existing work data records for the submission year and period that have a blank submission date are deleted and replaced with records that have not previously been submitted for that reporting period. Any work data records with a non-blank submission date are retained and no longer reported. This mechanism allows institutions to adhere to the incremental reporting requirements of DEEWR and ensures that previously reported data is not included in subsequent files for the same period. Any data records that are found to be incorrect or require remission after submission must be added as revision records.

These steps summarize the process:

  1. Process Work Records – run the prerequisite process to create the work data records.

  2. Run the DEEWR Student Data files.

  3. Load the file(s) into HEPCAT, review and validate data.

  4. If validation errors exist and data must be corrected, correct the data and repeat from step 1.

  5. If data is preliminary and not ready for submission to DEEWR, repeat from step 1.

  6. Submit valid data to DEEWR by the required submission date.

  7. Run the DEEWR Submission Processing process to date stamp the work data records for the file(s) submitted.

  8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 for further reporting periods or sets of data in the reference year.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicPast Course Completions - Annual Reporting and Revision Requirements

The Past Course Completions file does not require a prerequisite work data process. The process to generate the Past Course Completion file extract both creates the data records to retain a history of the completions data reported and generates the file.

These steps summarize the process:

  1. Run the DEEWR Past Course Completion file.

  2. Load the file into HEPCAT, review and validate data.

  3. If validation errors exist and data must be corrected, correct the data and repeat from step 1.

  4. If data is preliminary and not ready for submission to DEEWR, repeat from step 1.

  5. Submit valid data to DEEWR by the required submission date.

  6. Run the DEEWR Submission Processing process to date stamp the work data records for Past Course Completions.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnit of Study Completions File – Annual Reporting

No DEEWR revision requirements exist for Unit of Study Completions reporting and consequently, no work data records exist for this extract. Only those enrollment records previously submitted in the Load/Liability File for the corresponding reporting year are included in the flat file extract.

These steps summarize the process:

  1. Run the DEEWR Unit of Study Completions file.

  2. Load the file into HEPCAT, review and validate data.

  3. If validation errors exist and data must be corrected, correct the data and repeat from step 1.

  4. If data is preliminary and not ready for submission to DEEWR, repeat from step 1.

  5. Submit valid data to DEEWR by the required submission date.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicCourse of Study File

You can generate the Course of Study file as often as required for a given reference year. Any changes or additions that must be reported to DEEWR are treated as a replacement file and no work data records are retained.

These steps summarize the process:

  1. Run the DEEWR Course of Study file.

  2. Load the file into HEPCAT, review and validate data.

  3. If validation errors exist and data must be corrected, correct the data and repeat from step 1.

  4. If data is preliminary and not ready for submission to DEEWR, repeat from step 1.

  5. Submit valid data to DEEWR by the required submission date.

The Centrelink Academic Reassessment Transformation (CART) system allows for electronic exchange of information between Centrelink and academic institutions.

The following is an overview of the process to load a CART Request file and generate an associated Response file for return to Centrelink.

  1. Download the request file from the Centrelink Business Contact site. This XML request file contains information about students who are attending your institution and have received Centrelink payment.

  2. Use the CART Load process to load the request file and match the data to students in your database. For the records in the request file that have a Student ID, the system validates the first and last name, date of birth, and gender. For the records without a Student ID or where the ID is not valid, the system uses the search/match parameters to verify the data.

  3. Use the CART Suspense component to review data in the request file and filter for match exceptions. This component also confirms the student's enrollment data when the response file is generated.

  4. Use the CART Response File page to create an XML response file that confirms a student's study workload. The response file confirms workload information for those students whose data has been loaded through the CART Request File Processing page.

  5. Log in to the Centrelink Business Contact site and upload the response file.

  6. Use the CART Purge page to delete the suspense data when the response file has been returned to Centrelink and the information is no longer required.

Centrelink conducts enrollment checks of students in receipt of student assistance from the Commonwealth in order to independently verify information that has been provided to Centrelink by customers, detect incorrect payments resulting from incorrect or incomplete information provided by recipients, and to assist in the timely detection of discontinuation of study or a reduction in workload. The enrollment checks are conducted by matching Centrelink data against data provided by the institution to determine a student's enrollment status and workload where applicable.

This page confirms the results of search/match or whether a Student ID is matched.

Search/match messages reflect the inconsistencies in data – for example, cases where the Student ID in the request file is invalid and where the personal data in the request file is inconsistent with the student data in the database.

CART Request

SSR_CART_SUS

Records and Enrollment, Enrollment Reporting, AUS Regulatory Reporting, Centrelink, CART Suspense, CART Request

Review the student's personal information as provided in the request file. The system sets a Matched ID field value if a definitive match was confirmed during the CART Load process. Alternatively, you can enter a Matched ID field value. If no match was found, the field will be blank but editable.

CART Response File

SR_CART_RESPONSE

Records and Enrollment, Enrollment Reporting, AUS Regulatory Reporting, Centrelink, CART Response File, CART Response File

Generate the XML response file for submission to Centrelink.

CART Response

SSR_CART_RESPONSE

Records and Enrollment, Enrollment Reporting, AUS Regulatory Reporting, Centrelink, CART Suspense, CART Response

Review the response file data for submission to Centrelink.

CART Purge

SSR_CART_PURGE

Records and Enrollment, Enrollment Reporting, AUS Regulatory Reporting, Centrelink, CART Purge, CART Purge

Purge request file data, any related processing messages, and response file data from the suspense tables.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicLoading the XML Request File

Access the CART Load page (Records and Enrollment, Enrollment Reporting, AUS Regulatory Reporting, Centrelink, CART Load, CART Load).

File Path and Name

The file name must have an .xml file extension.

The CART Request File process loads the request file data into the suspense tables. Additionally, the process matches the student data that the request file contains with the student data in your database.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicConfirming the Search/Match Parameters

Access the Search Parms page (Records and Enrollment, Enrollment Reporting, AUS Regulatory Reporting, Centrelink, CART Load, Search Parms).

The system uses the Search/Match parameters to find records in the request file that do not have a student ID or have an invalid student ID.

Search Parameter

Select the search parameter code that includes the search fields that you need to use to perform the search.

No Match Found

New

Select No Match for records in the request file that cannot be matched to students in the database. The system does not assign a matched ID to these records.

Suspend and Ignore are not relevant for No Match.

Matches Found

One Match and Multiple Matches

Select No Match for records in the request file that cannot be matched to students in the database. The system does not assign a matched ID to these records.

Select Verified to set the Matched ID mapped to the Student ID found in the search/match processing. This value is typically set for One Match.

Select Suspend when the results cannot be reliably matched to a student in the database. This value is typically set for the multiple matches result. The system does not enter any value for the Matched ID field. Additionally, the response file returns the value NMF(no match found) for the enrollment match result unless you have manually updated the record for the Matched ID.

Select Ignore to force the processing result to No Match. The system does not enter any value for the Matched ID field. Additionally, the response file returns the value NMF for the enrollment match result unless you have manually updated the record for the Matched ID.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicReviewing the Suspense Data Status

Access the CART Suspense page (Records and Enrollment, Enrollment Reporting, AUS Regulatory Reporting, Centrelink, CART Suspense, CART Suspense).

The CART suspense page provides the status of a suspense record about the loading, search/match, and the response file creation processes.

The Request ID field displays the unique identifier for a request file. The CART Request File process uses the Last CART Request ID counter on the SA Features page to assign a Request ID to a request file.

Processing Options

Edit

Displays the status of the record in relation to the load process.

Values are:

Complete: The program processed the record without any error.

Error: The program encountered problems when processing the record.

Perform: You set this value manually. Use this value for informational purposes.

Search

Displays the status of the record in relation to the search/match process.

Values are:

Complete: The search/match process ran without any error.

Error: The search/match process encountered errors.

Perform: You set this value manually. Use this value for informational purposes.

Result

Displays the status of the record in relation to the load process.

Details are confirmed in the following table.

The following table describes the Result values.

Result Value

Meaning

How the Value is Set

Awaiting

The system sets this value automatically if a record loaded from the request file had a Matched ID recorded which was subsequently removed. The value will automatically change from Verified to Awaiting in this case.

Set if a record with a matched ID has that ID removed and saved.

Inconsist

The system sets this value if the student ID in the request file and the student personal data in your database does not match. If a value of Inconsistent is set, a message(s) appears to verify the discrepancy. The following issues result in a inconsistent value:

  • Date of Birth does not correspond to Date of Birth for the Student ID in the request file.

  • Primary or preferred names of the student do not match with any of the name occurrences for the Student ID in the request file.

  • Student gender is inconsistent with the request file data.

A message also appears on the Messages tab if the Student ID in the request file does not exist in the database. If the student ID does not exist, the system again uses search/match to match the student. Even if the search/match process finds a matched ID, the message appears because the process initially failed to find a matched ID.

 

Multiple

The system sets this value if the request file data matches multiple students in the database and the search/match option is set to suspend for multiple matches.

Set by the CART Request load and search/match processes.

No Match

The system sets this value if data was not matched for a record in the request file.

Set by the system during the search/match process if no match was found in your database.

Verified

The system sets this value if the matching process confirmed the ID in the request file with the personal data in the database or if the search/match process found a definitive match for the student. The system also sets the value of verified automatically if you enter and save a Matched ID for a record that the load/search/match program was unable to match.

Set by the CART Request load and search/match processes if a record with a student ID in the request file matches with primary or preferred name, date of birth and gender, or the search/match process resulted in a definitive match.
