Welcome
This page provides an overview on how to fill in and submit the final beneficiary report using the dedicated functionality in Beneficiary module, including the mandatory conditions to be fulfilled in order to submit the final report. The final beneficiary report can be generated if the project is in status Project Ongoing or Final report - awaiting submission.
The illustrations on this page are based on examples from KA122 projects.
For information on how the final beneficiary report is handled, please see the page Manage the final beneficiary report. For a quick overview of the Final Report in Beneficiary module, please view the eLearning video.
The illustrations in the provided Wiki pages are for consultation purpose only and may not always reflect the latest implementation.
Before submitting the beneficiary report, open the project from your project list and check that the project data is up to date:
When all the project data is up to date, click the Reports tab and create the draft beneficiary report by clicking the Generate Beneficiary Report button.
The final beneficiary report can be generated if the project is in status Project Ongoing or Final report - awaiting submission.
A timeline graphic becomes available, showing your progress with the report and the report statuses.
In addition, you can view the History of the report by using the dedicated arrow to open the section for more details or collapse it.
Once you have generated the report, click on Edit Draft to open it. Use this button every time you need to access the draft report. You will be directed to the report details screen.
The report screen opens and consists of several sections. Navigate through the sections either by scrolling up/down in the content area, or by clicking on section titles in the Navigation panel.
The sections available depend on the action type of your project.
Information
If you leave the report screen, you can return to it at any time by clicking on the Reports tab, then clicking on Edit Draft.
Here are examples of the navigation menu available for a KA122-SCH 2021 (partial menu) and KA220-HED 2021 project.
You will notice that the Context section is already filled in and marked with a green check.
The Context section contains information that is also displayed in the Details section of the project, and it cannot be modified in My Projects.
If project dates or titles require modifications, this should be done by making a formal amendment request to the National Agency, which will take other necessary actions to have the data updated in your project.
The Context section also includes information on the Evaluation criteria used to assess your final report.
Click on the Project Summary section and answer the questions on the screen:
Information
The project summary will be displayed in the Project Results Platform once the Final Report is finalised in the National Agency project management system.
If you are filling in the report in a language other than English, you must also provide a translation of your project summary in English.
The content of the remaining sections varies depending on the key actions. Read the onscreen information carefully to fill in the required information. Certain sections also include read-only information and summaries based on details provided in other sections of the project or in participant reports (where applicable).
For example, the final report for a KA122, call year 2021 project includes the following specific sections:
Here is an example of the specific sections to fill in, and the Activities section in a KA122 final report:
In Beneficiary module, when completing the Final Beneficiary Report for a KA121, KA122, KA210 and KA220 project, the beneficiary organisation has the opportunity to apply for the European Language Label.
The European Language Label is an award encouraging the development of new techniques and initiatives in the field of language learning and teaching, as well as the enhancement of intercultural awareness across Europe.
The Label is awarded annually or biannually to the most innovative language learning projects in each Erasmus+ programme country.
By supporting such initiatives at both a local and a national level, the Label seeks, in particular, to raise the standards of language teaching across Europe.

A specific subsection, European Language Label, is available for completion in the final beneficiary report.
Beneficiaries who wish to apply for the label must select the relevant check box and fill in the additional fields that become available. The European Language Label section in the report also provides information regarding the European Language Label award criteria, such as Thematic priorities, Comprehensive and creative approach and Impact and dissemination.
The Budget section provides a high-level overview of the Total awarded budget and the Total reported budget, as well as various project costs. All information is read-only. If changes are required, you must make them in the other sections of the projects affecting the budget.
Take note
Read the onscreen information carefully and make sure you observe the rules regarding the allowed file types, the maximum allowed file sizes and the maximum allowed number of documents attached. These are mentioned at the top of the Annexes section.
The Declaration on Honour is mandatory for all projects and you must use the template provided with the report for each project:
Information
According to the national context, a signature by the legal representative of the beneficiary organisation may not be sufficient and a stamp for the organisation might be required as well.
Attach any other relevant documents:
In the List of documents you will view all the files you have attached. The Declaration on Honour is marked so you can identify it easily.
Take note
Read the onscreen information carefully and make sure you observe the rules regarding the allowed file types, the maximum allowed file sizes and the maximum allowed number of documents attached. These are mentioned at the top of the Annexes section.
The files are numbered and listed in the order in which you have attached them. You can view the size of each file, as well as the total size of all annexes.
If you want to delete a file from the list, click on the Remove button next to the desired file, then click on YES in the confirmation pop-up window to confirm the deletion.
Ensure you have performed all the actions listed in the checklist, and tick the boxes accordingly.
All items on the list must be ticked in order to submit the final report.
The checklist is not saved, therefore every time you leave the report screen, then return to the report, you must check all the conditions again and tick the boxes accordingly.
The Conditions for Final report submission are a part of the Checklist section of the report and include a checklist that is ticked automatically with each condition that is fulfilled, namely:
Check the list and make sure all conditions are fulfilled, i.e. all check boxes are ticked. If one or more of the conditions are not fulfilled, you need to make the necessary changes, before you are allowed to submit the Final report.
In our example below, there are incomplete mobility activities and/or group activities. The two sections of the project must be checked thoroughly and any mobility activities or group activities having the status Draft must be either completed or deleted. Only then becomes the Start submission process button active.
Tip
Use the available hyperlinks to access the relevant project section directly from the report screen.
The Start submission process button is available at the top of the screen, in the Navigation panel and at the bottom of the screen, under the Conditions for Final report submission . It is only active if all conditions for the report submission are fulfilled.

If the Final report was submitted by mistake, the National Agency can cancel the Final report process in their project management system. In such scenario, the project status changes from Submitted to Project Ongoing. The project is unlocked. A notification e-mail is sent, informing the beneficiary user of the report rejection.
In the reports section of the project, you will notice the status of the report is updated to Rejected.
You can, when required, use the Generate Final Report button to generate a copy of the previously submitted report. See below for details.
The National Agency checks that all necessary information submitted in the report is available and/or satisfactory. If not, a new report will be requested. A notification e-mail is sent, informing the beneficiary user of the report rejection.

In such case, please follow the detailed steps for completing and submitting the report as described above.
You can update information in the various report sections if and where required. You also still have the option to make changes to project details, such as activities, organisations or project results, if needed.
All previously attached documents, including the Declaration on Honour, are no longer available and must be re-attached before you can submit the new version of the final report. See above for step-by-step instructions.
