Portuguese term or phrase: elemento PEP
"Um projecto SAP, estruturado com elementos PEP"

I've discovered that PEP = elemento estrutural do plano de estrutura do projeto, but what's the equivalent English SAP term?

Please do not answer unless you know something about SAP software.

I'm the least qualified person to choose between these 3 convincing answers, but I'm selecting Carla's as the client thought PEP was already English. I'm not making a glossary entry as the others might be equally valid.

structural element in a project network/system OR project network/system structural element


Explanation:
As far as the context provided, this is project management terminology used in SAP - and not necessarily something exclusive to SAP.

"A network can represent the sequence of activities in a project or the sequence of a single activity within a project. You can graphically display various structural elements of a project and
their interdependencies in the Project System"

Graphical representation of activities or nodes and the dependencies between them. [D01068]


See also Project Network Diagram. [D01069]


The logical order of tasks that defines the sequence of work in a project. Networks are usually drawn from left to right, with lines drawn between to indicate the precedence between tasks. Arrow heads are often placed on the lines to indicate the direction of the flow through time. [D01070]
