R/3 document containing processing data that can be transferred from the R/3 Maintenance and Service Management (MSM) system to Computer-aided Scheduling & Dispatch (CSD/MF) software.

Normally, work information provided by SAP via notifications is translated as 1 "job" per notification task. Because no time estimates can be associated with a notification task, the CSD system will have either a table of duration times for each notification type/task code, or will use the duration time defined by the difference between the planned start and planned finish times.

A task can be associated with an item or directly linked to the notification header. Although labor and material usage cannot be reported against a notification or its task, they can be reported against a 'standing order' if one is identified in the technical object referenced by the notification. Otherwise the CSD system would identify the SAP order that is to be used to report actual costs.

The following types of notification data can be transferred from the R/3 System using the INOTIF01 IDoc:

• Notification header data
• Technical object data (functional locations and equipment including measuring points)
• Partner data (ship-to party, sold-to party, service-at customer)

• Notification tasks data
• Notification items data

The INOT transaction performs the extraction of the notification data to build IDocs.
