For ESF+ programmes, all common and some programme specific result indicators are linked to ‘output indicators used as a basis for target setting’. Logically, these result indicators’ achievement values expressed in absolute number cannot be higher than the achievement to the linked output indicator. However, the rule’s previous version did not differentiate between result indicators expressed as percentage or absolute number. The modified validation rule only applies to absolute numbers (while result indicator achievements expressed in percentage cannot be higher than 100). Click 'View' for more information.
We would like to inform you that the XSD file (explaining the structure of the XML files) related to Data on Interventions and Beneficiaries (DIB) has been slightly adapted. XML and CSV examples have also been adapted accordingly.
All files and examples can be found on the dedicated DIB support page: https://sfc.ec.europa.eu/en/2021/support-ms/dib?qt_support_pages=2
The changes are:
- M160 should be an open text field and not a numerical value with two decimals
- M070 should be made optional and not mandatory
- B170 should be added in the XSD (right now it only has B171 and B172)
- XML files should contain <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> on the first line
