    The 'Other Member State Document' type demands a manual submission (they are NOT sent automatically when the object is sent to the EC).

    On Milestone records, only Year and Quarter are editable and are mandatory.

    On Target records, only Baseline, Goal, Year and Quarter are editable and are mandatory.

    Additional records of a Milestone/Target can be created via the + button. They must differ from the initial Milestone/Target record by their timeline.

    Additional records of a Milestone/Target can be deleted via the delete button when they do not exist in a previous adopted Plan version. The initial Milestone/Target records cannot be deleted in this screen.

    The Sequence number is generated by the system and is composed of the codes of the Component, the Intervention area of the Measure/Investment, the Measure/Investment, the Milestone/Target, the Year and Quarter.

    Hoovering over the Measure/Investment code will show its title.

    In previously adopted Timeline records, the Year and Quarter cannot be updated. Only Baseline and Goal can be updated.

    When the Plan has been accepted (statuses Decision OK, Adopted by EC, Adopted by MS), the table will show an extra column with the Payout values.

    The Payout values column will not be shown in the printed template.

    Prepare the Social Climate Plan for send to EC


     

    Remark

    The Prepare for Send can occur when a User on the highest MS Node wants to indicate that the Social Climate Plan version can be prepared for sending to the Commission, once the Validation Errors have been removed and the status is Validated or Sent.

    To prepare the send of the Social Climate Plan, the User must have the role of MS Coordinating Body or MS Implementing Authority with Update or Send rights (MSCOu/s, MSIAu/s).


     

    1. Click on the Prepare for send to EC button to prepare to send the Social Climate Plan to the Commission:


     


     

    The system will ask you to confirm the send action:


     


     

    1. Click on Confirm.

    Can

    The status of the Social Climate Plan is set to Preparing for send to EC.


     

    Remark

    When on the highest MS node, a ‘Snapshot’ document will be available in all official MS languages in the Documents section so that the sender can first verify what will be sent to the Commission.


     


     

    Send the Social Climate Plan


     

    Remark

    The Social Climate Plan can only be sent once the Validation Errors have been removed and the status is Ready To Send or Sent.

    The "4 eyes principle" must be respected. Therefore, the User sending must be different from the User who last validated.

    To send the Social Climate Plan, the User must have the role of MS Coordinating Body or MS Implementing Authority with Send rights (MSCOs, MSIAs).


     

    1. Click on the Send button to send the Social Climate Plan to the Commission or to the upper Node:


     


     

    The system will ask you to confirm the send action:


     


     

    1. Click on Confirm.


     

    On success, the Social Climate Plan version has been sent to the Commission or to the upper Node. When sent, the status is set to Sent.


     

    Remark

    When on the highest MS node, different versions of the generated “Snapshot before send” document will be available so that the sender can first verify what will be sent to the Commission:

    • A version containing the untranslated content with the template in the Source language.

    • When the Source language is different from English, a version containing the untranslated content with the template in English.

    • When the Source language is different from English, a version containing a machine translation of the content in English with the template in English.
