From the level of the context menu of a SRO document, there are two options available, which allow for changing its status:

• [Undo Sending] – the option is active only for a document with Sent status and changes its status back to
• [Undo Confirmation] – the option is active only for a document with Confirmed status and changes its status back to

Upon providing appropriate data, the file can be generated again.
