GERR0001: Required Field Missing

A required field for the submitted Records Type is missing

Official CALPADS rule

Severity: Fatal   Type: Input Validation

Fields validated:

  • 13.01 Record Type Code
  • 13.04 Reporting LEA
  • 13.05 School of Attendance
  • 13.07 SSID
  • 13.08 Local Student ID

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Confirm the intended student and organization

    Compare SSID, local student ID, school, Reporting LEA, academic year, and enrollment history before changing the STAS row.

  2. 2

    Identify the failed relationship

    Use the validated fields to determine whether the problem is missing data, ownership, school/CDS validity, academic year, SSID validity, submitter authority, or a duplicate primary key.

  3. 3

    Bring in the correct owner

    Coordinate registrar or enrollment staff for student identity and SENR history, the CALPADS coordinator for state records and roles, and the SIS analyst for extract mappings.

  4. 4

    Correct dependencies in order

    Fix legitimate SENR, CDS, account-role, SIS, or extract data first. Never manufacture enrollment, substitute another SSID, or broaden access simply to make STAS post.

  5. 5

    Verify the accepted annual summary

    Confirm the corrected STAS record under the intended student, school, LEA, and year; then inspect Report 14.2 and ensure the next extract will not regenerate the mismatch.

Before closing the ticket

  • Confirm the corrected STAS record and student totals directly in CALPADS.
  • Compare CALPADS Report 14.2 with the local attendance-history source.
  • Document whether the defect was student-specific, calendar-wide, code-mapping, configuration, or extract-related.
  • Check other students affected by the same attendance rule before EOY 1 certification.
