Hi Graham, Within SIMS our schools are configured to use the Address Validation Service from CES. There does not appear to be any further configuration we can do regarding fields that are saved. Matt has suggested we look into using the ONE Address Validation Service option and we plan to look into this next. The funny thing is Ordnance Survey, who I believe supply Address Base, state they include the UPRN in their datasets so I am puzzled why the UPRN is not appearing in SIMS for validated addresses. Do you have any thoughts? Best wishes, Dobs

Hi Matt, We have large numbers of records created in Capita ONE suspense after import via B2B and I am looking at how this might be reduced. Examining both a test system and one of our live school systems we have noticed the UPRN is not populated for any addresses. We have traced this to the property_ref_number field in the SIMS.sims_address table. Any suggestions of things we should look into to find out how to get the UPRN into the B2B dataset would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Dobs

Does anyone know how to configure SIMS such that the UPRN, from the Ordnance Survey address data validation, will populate the SIMS.sims_address table? The field in the table is called "property_ref_number".

Hi Phil, I wasn't aware but have just Googled and read the report. Thank you very much. Interesting times. Best wishes, Dobs.

Hi Phil, I was bit too quick with the Send button and missed out a "not" in my original post which rather changed the meaning, sorry. Once I had compared the structure of the Early Years data with the SIMS pupil record structure I had to put aside the idea of integration via SIMS. The data we collect is largely based upon fields available within the Capita One Early Years module so I know Capita One supports our Early Years data structure. What I would like to avoid is having people rekey details on several thousand children into One each term. Would you happen to know if there are any plans for a Capita One SIF Agent ? Best wishes, Dobs.

Banjo, Many thanks for this information. I shall raise it with them at the next SIF Association meeting. Best wishes, Dobs.

Hi, I am looking into the possibility of using SIF to import Early Years data into Capita One. Had a look at Partnership Exchange and SIMS but the school session timetable does suit the way Early Years attendance and funding information is captured. I am presuming (hoping) One works with SIF too but haven't come across any documentation. Is there any information on Capita One and SIF? thanks, Dobs
