The information can e.g. concern product quality, expected time for a pending solution, conditions, temporary remedies and the actual solution for any particular condition. It can also be used for a number of other tasks; fault tracing hints, notifications on running changes that you may need to know about, special follow-ups or material requests and other generally useful information.
