| # Send Confirmed Supply to Customer (cpvmi0208m100) Use this session to send the confirmed supply to the customer for which you are handling the supply planning in a vendor managed inventory (VMI) setup. You can send the data by using Business Object Documents (BODs). Note After the confirmed supply for a revision 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. LN stores only the last version of a revision. If you publish or print the confirmed supply using this session, LN records the date and time in the Date Sent Confirmed Supply field in the Forecast Revisions from Customer (cpvmi0506m000) session and selects the Sent check box in the Confirmed Supply to Customer (cpvmi0108m000) session.
