The possibility to link result indicators to output indicators will be in SFC2021 regardless of whether the output or result indicator have a target or not. It is particularly useful and strongly advisable to do so in case the target or the achievement value is expressed in relative terms (e.g. ratio, percentage). Otherwise, the meaning of that ratio will be unclear, and it may not be possible to calculate achievement ratios. To indicate such link, Table 3 of the programme template (result indicators) in SFC2021 has the field “Output indicator used as a basis for target setting”, where the output indicators defined for the specific objectives appear and can be selected. Thus, in order to select an output indicator as basis for a result indicator, it first needs to be defined under Table 2 of the programme template (output indicators) for the same priority, specific objective, fund, category of region.
