ACC - Where can I upload the document to request an extension of the deadline for the submission of the Accounts?
The document has to be uploaded as a "MS Letter to request an extension of the deadline" in the Documents section of the Accounts.
Documents - Why can't the EC see the MS documents before they are sent?
The content of a programme can be seen by an EC user even before it is submitted to the Commission. This is to help the Member States during the amendments process.
Documents can only be consulted when they are sent. This is because documents do not have a full workflow as is the case for the structured data and their content is unknown and could contain sensible data which the Member State doesn't want the Commission to know before it is officially submitted.
ACC - Delete Link - Why the 'delete' link does not appear anymore?
The Implementation Report & Accounts versions for AMIF/ISF cannot be completely deleted anymore, so the permissions on the delete action were removed and the link ‘Delete’ will not appear among your options.
In case you need to delete the whole IR or Accounts, you will have to ask your Desk-Officer who will analyse case by case and if they confirm, we will temporarily grant the delete action to you.
Documents - I cannot open any document attached to my object, why?
Unfortunately this is a problem in the Microsoft Edge browser, not in SFC2014.
The browser doesn't recognize it's a .pdf file. As a workaround you should save the file and give it the name and extension as indicated on the screen, then you will be able to open it in your downloads folder.

Documents - How can I validate the signature in the Acknowledgement documents?
The acknowledgement of receipt is signed with an electronic certificate guaranteeing the date and time of the signature as well as the integrity of this document. The certificate used to sign this document is held by the European Commission and can be verified by the corresponding public key.
The first step to validate the signature is to install the certificate in Acrobat.
(This step is only necessary once per machine)
General - The Object is 'Returned', so why is the 'Current Node' displayed as 'European Commission'?
When an object is returned by the Commission in SFC2014 it will display as 'Current node' -> 'European Commission'. This is because the version that has been returned is no longer editable by the Member state and they must create a new version of the object in order to edit the information.
General - Why does SFC2014 ask me to electronically sign when I send an object?
The Sending of information by a Member State to the Commission should be electronically signed in accordance with Directive 1999/93/EC.
Sending of the different objects is generating a snapshot document and after the sending an acknowledge
document is generated by the European Commission.
