Alternative Calculate Annual Results {SSTUD4-31}

This option is used Calculate Annual Results to determine if a student can progress to the next study period or stay in the same study period during the next registration period.

To enable students to register using the online registration program, the students needs a (qualification) application.
The Annual result of the student will determine if a student may be promoted to the next study period.

When the student does not meet the criteria, the current registration will be allocated a Fail result as specified in {SSTUDD-2} Result code if not promoted, indicating that an application can be created for the same study period
When the student meets the criteria, the current registration will be allocated a Fail result as specified in {SSTUDD-2} Result code if promoted, indicating that an application can be created for the next study period

The calcuated result may beviewed using {SSTUDA-7}
The Annual result for a student can be changed using {SSTUD7-2}
If any Subject results are missing, the Annual result cannot be created.

The input from the faculty personnel will be needed to:

Decide which function will be used to create rules for each qualification.

Rules are created using {SSTUD4-30} using the standard functions that are provided in the Annual Result Calculation functions as base. Base rules start with Z**.
New rules are created based on the standard functions that are available. Rules must have the same parameters as specified in the base rule.

Determine the Rule Parameter Values

The parameter values for each rule is set based on the Qualification, Registration block and Study period of the current registration.

When these rules are set up, verify that the annual result calculated for the students are correct.

Example:

The example is a composite indicating some of the scenarios that may be encountered:

Processing Rules
	The first highlighted message means that there are student(s) registered for the qualification = DI0440, study period = 3, block = DI combination with outstanding annual result for the year, but there are no annual result calculation criteria setup for this combination. These student(s) do not need to progress to a next study period level or application / registration will be manually created for them.
	The message "Result code not set up..." means that there are student(s) registered for the qualification = DI1500, study period = E, block = <bloc code>, ot = WI combination without result codes defined for the qualification, study period,ot combination. If these student(s) need to auto progress to a next study period level these results must be defined in SSTUD3-3b2.
	1: This student pass all the progression rules and will be assigned annual result {SSTUDD-2} Result code if promoted. When an application is automatically created for this student it will be for the next study period.
	2: there are outstanding subject results for this student, therefore no annual result can be calculated for this student. Annual result will be NULL. No application will be created automatically for this student.
	3: this student failed some progression rule(s) and will be assigned annual result {SSTUDD-2} Result code if not promoted. When an application is automatically created for this student it will be for the same study period.
