  • LOTE details are entered via System  -->  School Settings Maint  -->  LOTE Codes & LOTE by Year Level tabs.

Synergetic performs common validation errors which must be fixed mainly due to the relevant fields in these tabs not being populated. Please verify if the required fields have been filled.
