Milan...can I assume this is an ITIL thing?

It's simple. What has your marketing department promised to customers
about documentation that is included with a product.

It might include elements such:

All applications will include, at minimum, an installation manual and
a release note, upon delivery of the application.
All defects found in documentation will be addressed and delivered
within 30 days of discovery
All documentation will be available from an online source.
etc.

The customer simply wants to know what gurantees you are making from
the perspective of documentaion so they know what they are going to
get and what is owed to them.
