            <Paragraph>After the confirmed supply for a <Link href="/baanerp/cp/glossary/glossary#000457" role="glossary">revision</Link> was sent to the customer, you can still modify
			 the data and resend the confirmed supply. The new data completely replaces the
			 previously sent confirmed supply, both in the supplier's and customer's
			 systems. ERP Enterprise stores only
			 the last version of a revision.</Paragraph>
