This page is relevant for European Solidarity Corps ESC51-VTJ Volunteering projects, all call years.

Each new release of Beneficiary module may change activity business rules, add new rules or remove others. This implies that previously completed activities may not comply with the new set of rules after a release or totals calculated may change. This page explains how automatic and manual revalidation is performed in your project, so that all ongoing projects activities are updated by the latest set of business rules. 

It is recommended to check the revalidation status of your activities after this automatic revalidation has occurred, especially if you had blocking issues preventing you from completing your activities.

Automatic revalidation

After each new release of Beneficiary module, an automatic revalidation of activities in projects is done, which may result in changes to the status of activities or to the calculated budget. These changes can happen in any project, except when it is locked/read-only. 

  • If the project status is Project Ongoing, activities and the status will be aligned with the rules as per latest release of Beneficiary module. All activities should be checked and, if required, updated by the beneficiary. 

  • If the project status is Submitted, participations will not be revalidated. 

Note
titleTake note
typewarning

The automatic revalidation mechanism for every new version of the application is run on all projects that have open versions of the project AND which have participations present in the open version.

Manual revalidation

For ESC51 projects, the manual revalidation can be performed from the Participations section of the project or from the Project details

Note
titleTake note
typewarning

Manual revalidation is processed with high priority in front of all automatically scheduled revalidations.

When a project is scheduled for revalidation based on the automatic process on a new version release, you can prioritise the process by manually clicking the Request new revalidation button. This will trigger the revalidation process (the same as automatic revalidation) which will be done with priority over the ones from the automatic reschedule list. 

In this way you can speed up the revalidation and you do not need to wait for the automatic process.

The Revalidate functionality available in Beneficiary module allows beneficiaries to manually check at any time all activities of their project that were last saved before the current release. This check will confirm whether the activities comply with the current rules or whether they need to be updated. 

Warning
titleImportant

Participations previously completed may be affected by the updated rules, so it is important to revalidate them latest before submitting the final report

Prerequisites

  • Project in status Project Ongoing.

  • Participations are available in the project.

titleInformation

Budget changes 

Here is an example of the revalidation summary, where 3 participations where processed, with two changed statuses and one changed budget. Before the revalidation, two participations were in status Draft and none was in status Complete. After revalidation, no participations are in status Draft, and two are in status Complete

The list of impacted participations is filtered to show only the participations with Budget changes, by clicking on the hyperlinked number for budget changes in the summary. The column Total Budget change displays the calculated values before and after revalidation, providing an overview of the calculated total for each participation. In our example, for all displayed participations, the total calculated budget after revalidation is lower than before. 

To return to the list of all impacted participations, click on show all.

Status changes

In this example, we filter the List of impacted records to display the ones where the status was changed as a result of the revalidation. One participation is displayed in the list, with the hyperlinked number of invalid fields after revalidation. 

Image RemovedImage Added

We now click on the hyperlinked number of invalid fields of the participation for which the status changed from Complete to Draft. A pop-up opens, displaying a list of fields that must be checked and updated in the participation details.

In our example, for all displayed fields the required values are missing in the participation details. Click on the x in the top right corner of the pop-up to close it. 

Image RemovedImage Added

The participations in status Draft must be checked and updated. You can click on the update option of the participation to open its details in edit mode.

You can also, at a later stage, open the participation details from the list of participations in your project to make changes or use the participation export and import functionality, where available, to complete the draft participations. 

Warning
titleRemember

Only participations in status Complete are taken into account for the calculated Reported Budget in a project. See Budget in projects for additional information. 

You will not be able to submit the Final Beneficiary report for a project if any draft participations are available in your project. Before the Final Beneficiary report can be submitted, draft participations must either be completed or deleted from the project. See Manage the final beneficiary report for additional information. 

The Final Beneficiary report cannot be submitted while the revalidation is in progress. You need to wait for the revalidation to be completed.
