    you have made changes to it
    Example:
    You have created a trading contract with a quantity of 100 and a
    follow-on document. After this you change the trading contract by
    reducing the quantity to 80, for example. If you still do not release
    the trading contract the follow-on documents will not have changed
    either. This means that the quantity 100 is displayed in the follow-on
    documents
