The amendment information tab

The amendment information tab consists of two sections:

The amendment information	Number: The amendment number, automatically assigned as soon as the amendment is signed by both parties Reference: This amendment request reference number is created automatically when launching the amendment request Type: Amendment: an amendment is Commission Initiated (CI) or Consortium Requested (CR) Notification-based (NB): changes of the Grant Agreement that follow a formal notification Information Procedure (IP):changes of the Grant Agreement that do not depend on the agreement of the parties and are applied using an information procedure Justification: The reason why an amendment is requested Additional Information: Text to further explain the background of the amendment. This field is optional. EU signature date: The date the EU signed the amendment Beneficiary signature date: the date the consortium signed the amendment Date of entry into force: The date the amendment goes into force
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. Optionally, you may also compare the Annex 1 (part B) document with its previous version.
	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. 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.
View/preview or edit the amendment information	View the amendment text which will be printed in the Grant Agreement To access information regarding the change to the Grant Agreement due to the amendment, you should click on the download icon next to the relevant amendment type: Once the document icon is clicked, a pop-up window containing the text which will be printed in the Grant Agreement will be displayed. Note that if beneficiaries are affected by the amendment, they will be listed in the Grant Agreement now.

In the case of some amendment types, a pop-up window containing editable fields to be completed with (non-)mandatory data, opens. The data will be included in the content of the amendment.
	Mark as Error Amendment If a change in the grant represented by an amendment type is due to an error, it is possible to flag this amendment type as 'error amendment'; Note that only the EU Officer can flag an amendment type as "error amendment". Not all amendment types can be flagged as "error amendment" - see Amendment Type column in the below table to see which amendment types can be flagged.

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.

Image Modified

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).

Image Modified

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

Image Modified

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.
