How to Correct Mistakenly Entered or Duplicate Plans in Plannr Technologies Limited
Accidental creation of duplicate or misclassified financial plans (e.g., creating an ISA as a SIPP or vice versa) can happen, but corrections can be made following structured guidelines. This article outlines why plan types cannot be changed and provides steps to safely resolve such issues.
Why Plan Types Cannot Be Changed
Once a plan is created in the system, its type (e.g., ISA, SIPP, etc.) is permanently assigned. This ensures accurate tracking and recordkeeping. If a mistake is made during the creation process, follow the steps below to resolve the issue without disrupting existing records.
Steps to Correct Duplicate or Misclassified Plans
Verify the Correct and Incorrect Plans: - Identify which plan was created incorrectly and confirm the correct information for the plan type (e.g., ISA or SIPP).
Update the Correct Plan: - Enter all necessary and accurate details in the correctly created plan that matches what the client required.
Handle Associated Records From the Incorrect Plan: - If the incorrectly created plan has existing expectations or new business events tied to it, recreate these records on the correct plan.
Remove Associations From the Incorrect Plan: - After successful replication of records in the correct plan, delete the expectations and business events from the incorrectly created plan.
Delete the Incorrect Plan: - Once all associated records have been removed, proceed to delete the incorrect plan. Ensure no data remains tied to this plan to avoid system restrictions.
Troubleshooting Potential Issues
Why Can’t I Delete the Incorrect Plan?
A plan cannot be deleted while it has:
Linked expectations
New business events associated with it
Ensure these associations are properly handled (moved or removed) as detailed above to enable successful deletion of the incorrect plan.
What If the Deletion Problem Persists?
If you encounter further issues with deletion even after following the above steps, contact Plannr support for assistance.
Final Recommendations
Always double-check your plan type entry during creation.
Regularly audit your client records to catch and address discrepancies early.
By following these steps, you can ensure clean and accurate client records in Plannr.
