Yes - the option codes are 6 digits and the components are 8 digits.
The EDI entry file just uses the Options codes to make the entries.

However you need the component codes in your MIS system as 'children' of the options as the component codes have the Exam Dates etc.  

In EBS we set the Components up as Compulsory children of the Options so that when you create an Exam entry for the Option code, it automatically created the 'child' entry too.

Thanks for everyone’s input. Our basedata shows the components for WJEC as 8 digits – is this not right? And the 6 digit code is always the option?

Hi all

Please can you help me with GCSE entries on ProSolution in relation to the structure required.

For example, GCSE English with WJEC is 4170LA (cash-in) then has the four components and options. I’m unsure of the structure required for ProS in order to create an EDI entry file – is what I’m doing below right? Or should the syllabus be all the same? So confused
