The details of the Beneficiary, Consortium Coordinator and Consortium Members should first be updated in the Organisation Registration system and then updated in the National Agency project management system. 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.
In your project, click on Organisations in the Content menu. The Organisations screen displays. The organisations mentioned in the grant agreement, with the exception of organisations without an OID, are available automatically in the project when it is created, and displayed in the Organisations list.
See the page List functionality in projects for additional information on the list functionalities, such as Search, Filters and the Bulk Actions.
Depending on the organisation role and whether it is part of the grant agreement, one or more of the following options are available for organisations displayed in the list, by clicking on the relevant icon in the Actions column:
See the page List functionality in projects for additional information on the list functionalities, such as Search, Filters and the Bulk Actions.
Here is an example from a KA122-SCH project. For the beneficiary organisation, the Delete icon (1) is inactive. You can view and edit (certain) organisation information. For organisation roles Partner or Other, you have the options to Delete, View and Edit (2).
The list of organisations displays the following information for the organisations participating in the project:
Organisation ID - the unique organisation identifier in your project. This identifier is assigned when the organisation is created in My Projects and can be changed, but must be unique within the project.
Important
Do not confuse the OID and the Organisation ID. The OID is the unique identifier obtained when registering the organisation in the Organisation Registration system. The Organisation ID is a unique identifier for the organisation in the project.
Here is an example from a KA122-SCH project:
You can add more organisations to the project, with or without an OID, using the Create button, as explained under Add an organisation below.

To view the details of an organisation in your project, click on the View (eye) icon in the Actions column.
The organisation details open, providing an overview of the available organisation information.
The screen consists of several sections, which can be collapsed or expanded individually, using the dedicated arrows.

To add an organisation to the project, click on the Create button at the top of the Organisations list. A new screen opens, where you will add the organisation details.
The Create button is not available for ESC30 - Solidarity Projects and KA2 projects, except KA220-HED. See the specifics for the different action types below.
Depending on the action type of your project, you can add organisations with or without an OID to your project.
If the organisation you want to add has an OID:
Information
If the OID is not found, an error message is displayed in red. Check that you have provided the correct OID and make the necessary corrections. If you believe you have entered a valid OID but the error persists, please contact your National Agency. You can find the contact details of National Agencies for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps in the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps platform > Support section.
Take note
If the organisation you want to add has no OID, leave the OID field empty and fill in all the other fields as required. Mandatory fields are marked with a red asterisk *.
Once all necessary information is provided, click on the Save button at the bottom of the page. The button is greyed out until all mandatory fields are filled in.
Information
Non-OID organisations can only be added to KA131, KA121, KA122 and KA220-HED projects.
When you click Save, a success message confirms that the organisation details have been saved.
The newly added organisation is now displayed in the list of organisations in your project. You can now add contact persons for the organisation, if required. See the page Contacts in projects for details.
Once items are added to the list, the following icons become available under the Actions column:
To update organisation information, click on the Edit icon.
Only some fields can be updated if the organisation you want to edit has an OID. The fields that retrieve data from the Organisation Registration system are greyed out and cannot be changed. You may have to use the scrollbar in your browser to access all information for the organisation.
Any changes required on these details must be done in the Organisation Registration system and require further action from the National Agency.
If the organisation you want to edit does not have an OID, all the information can be updated. Make the changes as applicable. Note that an OID cannot be added at this point, as the field is greyed out.
You may have to use the scrollbar in your browser to access all information for the organisation.
Click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen. The organisation information is updated.
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.
An email notification is sent to the preferred contact of the organisation added in the project, providing information on the project and access as well as useful links.
Changes made to organisations will also result in an email notification to the preferred contact of the organisation, informing them of this fact.
Unlike other European Solidarity Corps key actions, ESC30-SOL - Solidarity Projects allow only one organisation to be involved in a project. Therefore the option to add other organisations is not available.
The beneficiary organisation is either an organisation or a natural person, member of the group of people involved in the project, that has applied on behalf of the group using the Organisation ID obtained when registering in the Organisation Registration system.
All organisations that wish to take part in European Solidarity Corps volunteering projects must hold a valid Quality Label for volunteering with a host or support role. Implicitly, they must be registered in the Organisation Registration system and have a valid Organisation ID. For more details about these projects please see the page European Solidarity Corps project management overview.
Higher Education projects can involve organisations from Programme countries as well as from third countries not associated to the Programme.
Depending on the nature of the activities, the project can include only higher education institutions (HEIs) with a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education or also other types of organisations. Please see the page Mobility activities in KA131 Higher Education projects for more details.
It is possible to add a HEI to the project starting from its valid Erasmus Code. In the Organisation details screen, add the valid Erasmus code in the dedicated field. The OID and all related information is automatically retrieved. Check and update (if applicable) the remaining organisation details, then click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen to add the organisation to the project.
Roles in mobility activity
In the Role in mobility activity section of the organisation details screen you can view and/or choose the mobility activity roles applicable to each organisation involved in the project: Sending organisation, Host organisation, Supporting organisation.
For the organisations specified in the grant agreement, all the roles are already assigned to all organisations. For the Beneficiary, these roles cannot be changed. For other organisations, you will be able to change the roles as applicable, by unchecking the relevant tick boxes for each organisation, in the organisation details screen.
It is possible to add further organisations to the project either with or without an OID. For such organisations, the mobility activity roles can be changed as applicable.
In the mobility activity screen, when adding the sending and receiving organisation, respectively, only the organisations having the relevant mobility activity roles are available each of the drop-down lists.
If Supporting organisation is selected, the field Type of supporting organisation becomes available. Use the available drop-down list to select Paid or Unpaid. If Paid is selected, the field What tasks did the supporting organisation complete? becomes available and must be completed.
Create, Edit and Delete options are not available for KA2 projects.
Any changes to the Beneficiary Organisation or any other participating organisations as well as the addition of organisations to the project must be done by the National Agency in their project management system. In KA220-HED projects, it will however be possible to create organisations of type Organisation of Invited Staff. See below for details.
Here an example of the Organisations list in a KA220-VET project. The Create button (1) as well as the Delete (2) and Edit (3) options for the listed organisations are inactive. It is only possible to View (4) organisation details.
In KA220-HED projects, organisations of type Organisation of Invited Staff can be created and therefore also edited and deleted. Any other type of organisation in the project will have to be updated in the National Agencies project management system. Invited organisations may or may not have an OID.
