• Message number: 030

• Message text: Process instruction category &1 was copied

What causes this issue?

You have NOT set the <LS>Ref</> indicator when you assigned process
instruction categories to the operator cockpit. For this reason, the
process instructions used have been <LS>copied</> from Customizing for
<LS>Process Management</> to the cockpit definition and there is no
connection to the original process instruction anymore.
For more information on the copying and referencing of existing process
instructions, see <DS:DE.CO_FTREF>F1 help on the "Ref" indicator</>.
&HINT&
Note that you cannot add or delete the <LS>Ref</> indicator once you
have chosen <LS>Enter</>. If you want to change the definition, you
must delete the process instruction category and then create it again.
