The type of a process element determines its further usage. There are four different types:

P - Planning

The "Planning" type defines a working condition in the planning stage. An element of the "Planning" type is used only for planning purposes. A planning element may not be used to determine a default time.

E - Production

The "Production" type defines the final state of an element. An element of the "Production" type may be used to determine a default time.

C - Calculation

The "Calculation" type defines the state of an element during the calculation stage, e.g. for an offer. A calculation element may not be used to determine a default time.

S - Simulation

The "Simulation" type defines the state of elements created using simulation tools. A simulation element may not be used to determine a default time.

Via the settings in the element configuration, it is defined which type of element is to be assigned to the element when created.
