Often SSRs are recieved via email (not even in PSM format). Such free text infomation can be added to Daily Flight Plan → Rotations: Messages, so they are visible in the MSR and can be considered for SSR-related service registration.

The messages received from the IATA Interface remain to be not editable in these tables, but the new entries are editable.
