The value provided for the field is not a valid value from the CALPADS Code Sets

Focus fields

Fields validated

3.01 - Record Type Code 3.02 - Transaction Type Code 3.12 - Student Gender Code 3.13 - Education Program Code 3.14 - Education Program Membership Code 3.18 - Education Service Code 3.21 - Primary Disability Code

Recommended correction path

Suggested resolution

Code fields commonly involved

  • 3.01 Record Type
  • 3.02 Transaction Type
  • 3.12 Gender
  • 3.13 Education Program
  • 3.14 Membership Category
  • 3.18 Education Service
  • 3.21 Primary Disability (legacy; leave blank)

Version 18 notes that field 3.14 values are no longer stored or validated; CALPADS defaults membership categories from valid program combinations. A GERR0002 tied to older assumptions should trigger a layout/mapping review.

A local label is not a CALPADS code. Verify the underlying program fact before changing the crosswalk.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Capture field and raw code

    Preserve the submitted value and program context.

  2. 2

    Check Version 18

    Confirm the active code set and field status.

  3. 3

    Verify program meaning

    Do not choose the closest-looking code without program-owner confirmation.

  4. 4

    Repair the crosswalk

    Correct the SIS/export and inspect every record using the same local value.
