  • The characteristic is locked and cannot be changed in the
  • characteristic overview.
    • Characteristics are not locked in the process instruction assistant
    • because the characteristic structure is not created until you exit theassistant. However, your changes are not copied to thecharacteristic structure if the locked characteristic is affected bythem.
      In this case, the system terminates process instruction maintenance andwrites a corresponding message to the log.
