Advise a DC with or without confirmation

When a DC is issued by the issuing bank, and contains a confirmation party, it is sent to the confirming party to add a confirmation. Similarly if the DC has been advised earlier without confirmation, then the beneficiary may send it to the confirming party requesting to add a confirmation.
