Depending on the action type and role of the organisation, the details of partner/other organisations can be added, updated and deleted while others will have to be updated in ORS. 

This page explains how to add, edit and delete organisations in Beneficiary module.

The Beneficiary organisation(s), single beneficiary or consortium, sent to your project with the project information from the National Agency's project management system can never be removed from the project in Beneficiary module.

For these organisations, the Delete (bin) icon is not active in the Actions column of the Organisations list. If you need to remove such organisations, please contact your National Agency for an amendment to your grant agreement. 

Partner organisations and other organisations can be removed. In the Organisations list, for these organisations, the Delete (bin) icon is active in the Actions column. 

Click on the Delete icon to remove the organisation from the project, then confirm the deletion in the pop-up window. The organisation will be removed from the project. 

Important

The deletion of a participating organisation may have several consequences.

For example, if mobility activities (Erasmus+ projects) or participations (ESC51-VTJ projects) have already been added and the organisation to be deleted is a sending or receiving organisation for mobility activities/participations, deletion is only possible after the affected mobility activities/participations are either assigned to a different sending or receiving organisation, or removed from the project.

In European Solidarity Corps ESC30-SOL - Solidarity projects, organisations participating in activities cannot be deleted.
