Errors/Warnings
| Error/Warning Code | Error/Warning Message | Solution |
| 01384 |
Please contact Skills Canberra on 02 6205 8555 or email skills@act.gov.au for further information. | Error message 1 can occur if the total records in the NAT00120 do not meet the total number of units required for the Qualification and an award is reported in the NAT00130 to represent the full completion of the qualification for the client. For example, a Certificate III in Individual Support requires 15 total complete units across 9 Core Units, and 6 Elective Units under the Ageing and Disability Specialisations. All 15 units should be reported in the NAT00120 before a record can be reported in the NAT00130 to represent the full completion. Ensure that all units within the client's enrolment have had their results recorded correctly with the correct start and finish dates. All units within the enrolment should appear in the NAT00120 before an award can be recorded and reported in the NAT00130. Error message 2 is unlikely to occur unless the NAT files were edited in any way after exporting them from VETtrak, as the NAT00120 and NAT00130 files are checked prior to the NAT0080 file within the Generate State AVETMISS 8 Wizard. |
