The type of a process element determines its further usage. It is differentiated by four types:

P - Planning

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

E - Production

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

C - Calculation

Die Art Kalkulation definiert einen Zustand eines Bausteins in der Kalkulationsphase z. B. für ein Angebot. Ein Kalkulationsbaustein darf nicht zur Vorgabezeit-Ermittlung herangezogen werden.

S - Simulation

The type Simulation defines the state of elements created with the use of simulation tools. A simulation element may not be used to determine a standard time.

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