B2B and regular data transfer

B2B is the name for the process of automatic transfer of student data and attendance from your MIS system to Capita ONE (Local Authority Education System). Files are sent on a weekly basis.

Schools receive emails identifying any conflicts between the data the Local Authority holds and the data we receive on a weekly data file from schools – your will receive this information via Perspective Lite

Data conflict queries you may receive could include:

Name

When it concerns a legal surname or a legal forename please ensure you are using the correct legal name as on the birth certificate. Please put a chosen name in the preferred name box of your MIS. Please see our page on Name Changes for further information.

Date of birth

Please check which is the correct DOB, have you seen the birth certificate?

Address

If you believe that your records are correct then please email the schools data team on schools.capitadatateam@staffordshire.gov.uk 

UPN 

If you don’t believe this to be correct, please email the schools data team on schools.capitadatateam@staffordshire.gov.uk 

ULN

If the pupil already has a ULN, log on to the Learning Records Service (LRS) portal. 

Once logged in, click Learner Management and then Find a Learner, then enter the pupil’s details, which should bring back the 2 ULNs. Click on ''Click here" to report a problem.  Then enter both ULNs and advise which one you want to keep (can keep whichever one you want) and submit the query to the LRS.  The LRS will then merge the two records together. 

Please advise the Schools Data Team if we need to change our current ULN.
