Creating CAPP Elements 
A small number of people should maintain the CAPP elements centrally. These centrally maintained elements can be used by any number of people.
The status of a CAPP element determines the extent to which a formula, method or process may be used for calculating standard values. If a CAPP element has the status "inactive", then it is marked for deletion and can no longer be used in other CAPP elements and for calculating standard values. If you still want to use it you must change the status.
