This can occur if:

• the distribution target attribute Publish Control Characteristics when Publishing a Process Plan has a value Yes

• the control characteristic is associated to an operation

• the process plan holding the operation is published.

If you want ESI services to not process a certain control characteristic associated to a part, apart from turning off the attribute Publish Control Characteristics when Publishing a Part, make sure the control characteristic is not associated to an operation that resides in the process plan being published.
