Fixed rates and variable ratesFixed rates values are centrally configured based on several criteria and are applicable for all projects based on the action type and call year. The values cannot be modified for a single project (except a Force Majeure case) and are retrieved for each mobility and cost type needed. Variable rates only have a specific range defined by the National Agency. It is up to the Beneficiary to define the rates applicable for a specific project. | Note |

| If a National Agency is defined as having variable rates, it cannot change to fixed rates during the Call year, and vice versa. Variable rates are configured at the start of a call year. |
Applicable rates in Beneficiary module The Applicable rates section can be used to configure rates at the project level and apply to all mobilities inside the project. | Note |

| When saving the applicable rates, a confirmation message is displayed with the option to confirm or cancel the save operation. If you choose to save, then rates will be stored in the application and the screen is locked. Only National Agency users can unlock the applicable rates configuration form. This may be done when there are changes of the National Agency ranges in the Central Calculator during the call year. The form will remain unlocked until new input is provided and saved again. There are no restrictions on the number of times the section can be saved or unlocked. |
The already entered rates will not be deleted once the page is unlocked. To lock the section again, Beneficiaries need to click the Save button.

| For Student mobilities, only Long-term mobilities have variable rates available. The Applicable rates screen will show the section for Student mobility if there are values to be configured. Otherwise, this section will not be available. |
In this section Beneficiaries can add in a centralised way the National Agency variable rates for the student mobilities individual support. Student mobility values rangeBeneficiaries can enter in the Country group fields any integer value, as long as it is in the allowed range (minimum and maximum displayed under the Country group fields). Besides, the values entered here are subject to a list of validations: - If the funding National Agency is in Country group 1, the amounts must be the same for Country group 2 and 3.
- If the funding National Agency is in Country group 3, the amounts must be the same for Country group 1 and 2.
- Student mobility individual support base amount difference - for country group 2, the values entered for the student mobility individual support base amount need to have a difference of at least 50 euro between the entered values. => This is a bit misleading, the The difference of at least 50€ 50 euro is not only applicable to country group 2 but also applies for the other National agencies country groups, the difference is that they only have two rates with a difference of at least 50€ .
If these conditions are not met, an error message appears and the rates cannot be saved.  Image Removed Image AddedStudent mobility individual support rates

Applicable rates revalidationIf a variable rate is changed by the Beneficiary from the Applicable rates screen, all the mobilities in that project version will be automatically revalidated and reported budget figures will be updated for the respective version, only if the project version is still open. The status of the mobility will not be changed after the update of values and will remain as entered (Draft/Complete).
Importing applicable rates | Excerpt |
|---|
When importing variable rates from a file, the Individual support rates defined in the import file must match the rates defined in the Applicable rates screen. If the values in the import file differ or are missing, an error message is displayed and the import is not performed. See here more information on the import and import errors. The validation is performed on the two values that are configured in Applicable rates: - For staff: Staff daily grant (1 - 14 days) and Staff daily grant (15 - 60 days)
- For students: Student monthly base amount.
