Generic submission should be used when the destination organization does not have a specific procedure in its catalog for the documentation you want to send.

You will find it by accessing the icon of the catalog of procedures, in the right space "Generic Services":

1. When should I use a generic submission?

You should use the Generic Submission (TGEN) only when there is no specific procedure or service in the Catalog of services and procedures of the new EACAT to send the documentation or information that you want to send to an entity. You can start it from Generic Services in the Catalog.

It is very important that you keep in mind that if you submit a generic submission to the Administration of the Generalitat de Catalunya when a specific electronic service of EACAT already exists, this submission will be considered not submitted, in accordance with articles 66.6 and 16.8 of Law 39/2015.

To avoid unnecessary use of the Generic Transmission, the new EACAT incorporates a specific service recommender before initiating it.

Currently, the generic submission is done with a PDF form. A new version with a web form from the AOC Consortium will be rolled out later.

2. What does the service recommender do?

The recommender suggests specific services that could replace generic shipping, based on:

  • the recipient entity

  • the subject of the submission

3. How does the recommender work?

  1. Access the Catalog of services and procedures and select Generic submission (Generic services).

  2. On the Start Generic Remittance screen, indicate the recipient entity.

  3. Select the subject and, if applicable, the organizational unit.


  4. If there are matches, the system will show you recommendations for specific services:

    • a. You can select one and directly start the corresponding procedure.

  5. If the recommendations are not appropriate, you can:

    • a. Modify data (change the subject and search again).

    • b. Start the generic submission and download the PDF form.

  6. If there are no results, the system still allows you to:

    • a. Modify the data, or

    • b. Initiate generic submission directly.

Remember that in the case of the Generalitat de Catalunya, TGENs sent when a specific service exists are not considered submitted .

4. What can you do?

  • If you find the right specific service:
    Start the process, fill out the form, sign it and send it.

  • If no specific service exists:
    Start the generic submission, download the PDF, fill it out, validate it, sign it and send it.
