"Standard" calculation mode

The Standard mode is assigned to every newly added calculation element by default. This mode entails no calculation. It does not constitute any calculation mode status.

However, costs of the sub-elements are added on all superordinate calculation elements (assemblies or manufacturing parts), Therefore, all elements that are sums should be kept in Standard mode. Exceptions occur when you are estimating on this project level (Estimation mode) or a supplier's offer (Offer mode) exists.
