General - How can I be sure that my data is submitted/sent to the Commission?
- When data is sent to the Commission, the sender receives an automatic notification from SFC2014
- On the search screen list of Programmes, Payment Applications etc, and in the 'General' section of the object under 'version information', check that the "current node" column is "Commission" and the "status" is "sent".
- In each object (excluding Standalone/referring documents) a snapshot document is added to the 'associated documents' section of the object.
- For single documents, check that th
General - I cannot fit my text within the character limit of the text box, what can I do?
The text boxes provided in SFC2014 follow the official templates. The limits are defined by the Commission implementing act and cannot be extended.
Documents - I have sent a document by mistake, can I delete it?
Once a document has been sent (there is a date visible in the 'sent date' column) it cannot be deleted.
However, if you are the sender of the document you may choose to 'hide' a sent document so that it is no longer visible within your programme by following the steps below:
General - Why can't I see a link to Delete an Object (OP, Payment, etc.)?
- The Object has been sent to the Commission already which means you cannot delete it anymore.
- The Object has not been sent to the Commission yet but it contains a document of type 'Other MS document' which has already been sent to the Commission. In this case you cannot delete the Object anymore.
Documents - I have added a document but the Commission cannot see it, what can I do?

If a Commission user cannot see the other documents you uploaded, this is because these are type 'Other Member State Document' and are sent independently (as you can see below there is no 'sent date') of the Object (PA, OP, RDP IR etc.).
The following steps should be taken for each document in order for them to be sent to the EC:
Select the document to be sent (1) and click on the edit button (2):
General - The Object is Validated (in status 'Ready to Send') but it is not possible to Send it
SFC2014 enforces the "four-eyes" principle, which means that the user who last validated the Object cannot submit it. Two different users are required; one to validate and another to send.
