| The maximum grant amount (Annex 2) is the sum of the requested EU contributions of each individual participant of the project (beneficiary or affiliated entity). The maximum grant amount (Annex 2) cannot be changed directly. If there is a change of requested EU contributions of individual participants and the summary is different, then the maximum grant amount (Annex 2) changes. 
When the maximum grant amount (Annex 2) changes, a blocking message will display informing that the "Change of maximum grant amount (Annex 2)" type is not selected and must be selected manually. Usually there is a reshuffle of the budget between participants aiming not to change the maximum grant amount (Annex 2). 
When the maximum grant amount (Annex 2) is changed, the "Change of Annex 2" type will automatically be set. 
The maximum grant amount (Annex2) cannot be higher than the maximum grant amount (award decision). To correct that, the EU Officer needs to follow the steps described below for AT43b.
