I recall a practice question where we had to identify whether a purchase was a new buy or modified re-buy based on the details given. It helped clarify the definitions for me, but I still get confused sometimes!

I feel like modified re-buy is a bit tricky. I know it involves changes to previous purchases, but I'm not sure how much change is needed to classify it as modified.
