Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Go to Activity Activities.
  3. Click on Assignment of Categories.
  4. Delete a row from Available Categories for Activity XYZ list. (XYZ represents the Available Activity Type).
  5. Save the settings.
  6. Open any document which uses the category.

Document remains with the Technical Code.

You expect the Category to be blank, since you deleted it.

Cause
