The types (formerly called clauses)





First the "Automatic" types are listed - (the system automatically selects the appropriate types according to the updates which have been done in the different Sygma tabs)

Then the "Selected by EU" types are listed -  (the Project Officer manually selects the appropriate type)

To select/unselect a manual Grant Agreement option or a manual amendment type (e.g. change of Annex 1 and change of Annex 2), you have to ask the EU Officer. Please note that the EU officer can make these changes while your session is open. 

Please note that if you would like to change the Annex 1 - Description of Action (part B), you must ask the EU officer first to select the manual type Change of Annex 1 and only then the document Annex 1 - Description of Action (part B) and the Upload button will appear in the list of documents.

(info) Optionally, you may also compare the Annex 1 (part B) document with its previous version. 

 (info) Optionally, you may upload extra files (.pdf, .doc, .docx or .zip) under the Documents tab, by ticking the box 'Additional supporting documents'

 Should you need to delete/replace the newly added document, a button is available, once the upload is done

 When the checks are done, click on Save. The document is now available for download.

 (warning) The uploaded 'Additional supporting documents' are not part of the amendment .pdf document to be signed electronically by both parties.

Then the  "Selected by beneficiary" types are listed - (the beneficiary manually selects the appropriate type)


Then the  "Selected by EU or beneficiary" types are listed -  (the Project Officer or beneficiary, whoever has the session open, manually selects the appropriate type)

Then the "On demand" types are listed - types that can be activated with the Service Desk intervention following a procedure described below.

How to request amendment types activated on demand by the Service Desk:

For Consortium-initiated amendments:

1. The Consortium contacts the Project Officer.

2. The Project Officer examines whether the request is justified.

For EU- and Consortium-initiated:

3. The Project Officer prepares a case file and submits it internally to the Legal Services for examination on whether the request is justified.

If justified:

4. The Service Desk asks the Project Officer to ask the Consortium to open the Amendment session (or the Project Officer to open an EU session) — unless already open.

5. The Service Desk selects and data loads the clause in the system.

Manual
  • Project/Beneficiary Financial information
  • Amendment information

The maximum grant amount (Annex 2) is the sum of the requested EU contributions of each individual participant of the project (beneficiary or affiliated entity). The maximum grant amount (Annex 2) cannot be changed directly.

If there is a change of requested EU contributions of individual participants and the summary is different, then the maximum grant amount (Annex 2) changes.

When the maximum grant amount (Annex 2) changes, a blocking message will display informing that the "Change of maximum grant amount (Annex 2)" type is not selected and must be selected manually.

Usually there is a reshuffle of the budget between participants aiming not to change the maximum grant amount (Annex 2).

When the maximum grant amount (Annex 2) is changed, the "Change of Annex 2" type will automatically be set.

(warning) The maximum grant amount (Annex2) cannot be higher than the maximum grant amount (award decision). To correct that, the EU Officer needs to follow the steps described below for AT43b.

    • cannot be higher than the contingency reserve
    • cannot be a negative number
    • cannot be decreased
  • in case of an increase of the Activated Contingency Reserve, then, in the same amendment, there should be an increase of the Maximum grant amount (Annex 2) by, at least, an equal amount.

    The AT44b clause is used to activate the 
    contingency reserve amount and therefore increase 
    the maximum grant amount (Annex 2), as set out in the 
    Data sheet.

    If AT44b is activated, the following formula applies: 

    Maximum grant amount (Annex 2) + Contingency reserve - Activation of the contingency reserve < Maximum grant award decision. 

    Then, several rules apply: 

    • the Activated Contingency Reserve amount:
      • cannot be higher than the contingency reserve
      • cannot be a negative number
      • cannot be decreased
    • in case of an increase of the Activated Contingency Reserve, then, in the same amendment, there should be an increase of the Maximum grant amount (Annex 2) by, at least, an equal amount.

    In the Financial Information screen, the EU Officer only can edit the Activated contingency reserve, by clicking on the pencil icon Image RemovedThen, a pop-up will appear for the EU Officer displaying the:

    • Activated contingency reserve: the current amount activated, editable (by the EU Officer). This amount can only be increased.
