At intermediate report stage, Partners should indicate in the column “committed”, all the costs that have been actually committed up to one month before submission of the intermediate report. Costs are considered committed once there is a legal commitment, such as issuing of a purchase order or the signature of a contract.
Changes in the budget and in the variuos contributions are subject to the general rules regarding
amendments (Ref. Art 11 of the
General conditions).
Modification of the amounts between headings is possible and does not necessarily lead to an amendment.
The modifications to the budget of the proposal should be mentioned in the column “revised budget”, either at the time of the intermediate report or at the time of a modification request. The denomination of headings cannot be modified during the lifetime of the Action. New headings can be added if necessary. If a heading has become obsolete, Partner cannot delete it. Instead, in the column “revised budget”, the Partner will have to empty the obsolete heading by putting 0 as a value and moving the amount to a newly created heading or to another heading.
Remember that the “subtotal direct eligible costs” must be equal to the total amounts of the results, specified in 4.3.2.x, and other costs, specified in section 4.3.3 (see section 4.3.2).
